Actor Gives Highly Interest
ing Performance in Much
Discussed Play

George M. Cohan brought THE Tavernp
back to New York last night, and. by
way Of adding variety to the end of the
season, took up the burden Of the role of
the vagabondl In the Cora Dick CAN'T
play. which Mr.. Cohan himself rewrote
into one Of the most discussed dramas of
the year.
Arnold Daily was the vagabond for the
longest term Of the season. Brandon
lyman subbed for a short time. and the
play finally went away from here. Then
Mr. Cohan decided to bring the Chicago
company East and have go at the CHIEF
part, and after few smoothing out
performances on tour he came into New
York by way of Brooklyn and settled
down at the Hudson Theatre last eve
ming.
The appearance Of the actor, author
manager and producer in tho play and
others in the cast new to audiences here
all giving their individual interpretations
to the parts made it a revival Of un-
usual importance and interest.

came to Broadway as The Vagdboid In
this fantastic melodramatic comedy.

without leaving behind many of the
characteristics of this genius of the
stage.
His Vdgabond is very unlike that por-
trayed by Arnold Daly-a Vdgdbond
more comically uncanny than his
predecessor. less POLITICALLY unreal. Yet
Mr.. Cohan has made this strange
character as POLITICALLY appealing and
he has presented him as he probably
should be portrayed. as a fantastic
comedian with the soul of an un-
balanced Romeo and the manner of a
philosophical clown.
He made merry with part that sug-
gests the weirdness of the sublimnal-
the double personality of harmless
lunatic with a strong sense of humor
and the tricks OF Puck. Mr.. Cohan's
Vngabond is a new sort of hobg>blin
that will give Broadway something new
to talk about.
And he really did dance. That was to
be expected. Where the preceding Vd0d-
bond cavorted heavily. the new one
tripped lightly about the Tavern amid
the mystified lot of odd characters that
form the strange circle of Miss Gantt's
play.
Mr.. Cohan is excellently supported
particularly by Joseph Allen. the Hired

splendidly funny. and special word OF
commendation is due Clyde North. as

NJ. Cohan underwent one of the hard
est tests Of his career In the final scene
OF the play, which is one Of the best In
the two acts of THE Tavern" With
suppression of his former self and in
one of the finest bits of acting play
goers have seen in local playhouses N

walked out into that everlasting thunder
storm with an extravagant flourish and
touch OF pathos that made the simulated
amazement of the inmates of "The Tav-
ern" seem real.

lowing his defeat by Johnson had
triumphed over Jim Coffey, another
aspirant for the championship. and

Moran could not inject sufficient pu-

leave a scratch upon his big oppo-
