What many theater- -goers believe
is part OF the story of George Nj.
Cohan's own life is contained in 1.-THE
Song and Dance Man. one OF
Cohans most successful plays which
the National Theater Players VIII
offer next week.
1t Is the story of A vaudeville singer
and dancer. a so-cal.ed "small-timer
who tries to find a niche on Broad
way and who is repulsed and buf-
feted about until. confronted by star
vation. he commits a holdup. Too
weak from hunger to rob the man
he has stuck up" this odd character
Is easily subdued by his intended vic
tim, who gives him a chance which
results in his getting the.opportunity
to make good on Broadway.
Opportunity at hand to- fulfill his
dreams. he fails to make good and
here comes the turning point OF the
story which involves the girl and
impels the song and dance man to
make two great sacrifices.
In this play Cohan is close to his
ultimate height as a story teller with
fair for combining comedy and
sentiment.
