MS OWN
STORY IN
DRAMA

What many theatergoers believe
is part of the story of George M.
Cohan's own life is contained in
"The Song and Dance Man." one
of Cohan's most successful plays,
which the National Theater Play
ers will offer for the week of
May 81.
In "The Song and Dance Man."
Conan is found telling the story
of a vaudeville singer and dancer.
a so.called 'small-timer," who
tries to find niche on Broadway
and who is repulsed and buffeted
about until, confronted by starva-
tion. he commits holdup. Too
weak from hunger to rob the man
he has stuck up" this odd char
acter is easily subdued by his in
tended victim. who gives him a
chance which results in his get
ting 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 ''tt.e
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 a flair for combining
comedy with sentiment.

SAN PEDRO, Cal. Dec. s.
"Oinky" is no more. He is gone. but

his master, and captain Of the Nor
wegian steamer Romulus, in port
here.
When the steamer first docked
United States custom men discovered
"Oinky"-and objected to his
presence. "Oinky" was a porker and
the law, they insisted, was that no
live stock from other countries may
be brought into the United States
without inspection at the point Of de-
parture.
Now "Oinky" was the captains
pet, but the captain had cargo to
deposit. So with saddened air he put
back to sea and at the three mile
limit "Oinky" was sacrificed that
commerce might progress. The
freighter returned with a fearful
captain and no mascot.
