rampant throughout this piece,
hand in hand, and the solution Is
most surprising. The Cohanesque
quips crop up ever and anon. One
cannot miss the fact that the
stage has won something in the
distinct type of humor provided
by this artist.
Mr.. Cohan has retired from the
theatrical world and is spending
his time writing a book of his ex-
periences, but it is hoped by all
who love him and admire his
work that his retirement will only
be temporary, and the shorter the
better. A man of Mr.. Cohan's
type and ability is needed in the
theater.
Those appearing in Mr.. Cohan's
play at the Shubert- Belasco next
week are Donald, Gallaher, Elsie
Rizer, Harry Irving, Adele Wind.

one important question in his IA
nous QUESTIONABLE; that is, Who
has written the most successful
plays, quality and quantity in

The answer would be, George
NJ. Cohan, actor, playwright, IL
brettist, director and producer. Did
he not write "'Forty-five Minutes
From Broadway" Seven Keys to
Baldpate." Mary" and Little
Nellie Kelly"?. And how many
others?
The time came when George
M. as his co-workers call him,
had to make supreme effort.
His daughter, Georgette Cohan,
was coming to this country from
England, where she had been edu-
Gated, and he must write a play
for her to make her first Ameri-

be a credit to him and a credit

THE GATE-POST
By Harold Phillips

Everyone is pretty much agog
over what the well-dressed
theater will wear the new sea-
son. The toggery, l can assure
you, will be on severer lines
than during the immediate here
tofore, with perhaps a just
barely perceptible overdrape of
fluff. The modes will be strict
and the material heavy. This
is because every producer who,
in the past, imported two or
three foreign plays, has this
year decided to shoot the works
on one grand continental spree.

q place, in Americas spotlight,
