BY LAWRENCE REAMER.

Mr.. Cohan-George NJ. of course
came back again last night. This time
he began his tenancy as manager of
the Hudson theater. His new play--he
did not act i'm 1t at least last night, but
who knows about to-ni2ht-is 80 This
Is London" by Arthur Goodrich. who
is known 10 the public as dramatist
only through one preceding work. Mr..
Goodrich's play Is satirical satirical,
moreover, about England, which must
have been enough to make Mr.. Cohan
accept the manuscript at once. The
manager found all the puppets at his
hand for the display OF some of the
opinions of which he may reasona bly,
be suspected.
To point his moral. the playwright has
drawn an American who is so much
more than 100 per cent. that he can see
no good in England But he has a son
who is less prejudiced Opposed to this
champion of his country is an English
man Of title. who is just as hidebound
and also possessed Of a family that Is
valuable for dramatic purposes. He
has a lovely daughter.
Here exist all the traditional contrasts
for drama that may be encountered
through the ages as far back as-well
the Montagues and Capulets. The DIFF
ferences of these mon and their chill
dren are, however. expressed in terms

of comedy. the sort or comedy Mr., Cohan
likes and is, moreover most skillful in
creating. And he worked last night
with we'll tried material.
Perhaps the best quality of the new
comedy as Mr.. Cohan had produced 1t
was that the longer 1t lasted the more
amusing il grew. The Americans In the
first act critical Of English life, seemed
difficult. They might have come from
Eldorado. Ark, rich from the new oil
wells, or they may have been from Flat
bush with German parentage TO ex-
plain their prejudice. But after all no
injustice was done.
With the second act it was seen that
the English family was exaggerated
just as far out of all resemblance to
humanity. They were medieval in their
intolerance of everything from the
United States.e So both sides were rep
resented by Mr.. Goodrich with equal
fairness.
But Of these two pictures the English
home. which occupied most OF the sec
ond act. was the more entertaining of
the two And it was nightly laughable.
II was not alone the family horror OF
anything American that added Its humor
