COHAN THINKS
SON WILL De
BALL PLAYER
Famous Actor BaffIed by Way
Kid Gets BY in Courses at
Georgetown Prep School

NEW YORK, June 25.-There
may or may not be a third genera
tion of Cohans on the American
stage when George M. Cohan, jr..
gets through absorbing education,
but George M. Cohan. Sr., is not
going to coerce his son.
The actor manager producer :
composer and what have you,
whose name is a synonym for
showmanship in the American
theater, is not at all concerned
over the fact that George, jr.,
now seventeen and at George
town Preparatory School, in
Washington, D. c., is not ad
dicted to grease-paint as yet.
Hopes Son Will Act
He admitted in his apartment
at the Savoy-Plaza that he would
be glad if the boy decided on the
stage. but he added. with the
lncorrigible Cohan humor:
I'm not so sure there will be
any theaterS left when George
gets ready to make a choice.
However, 1 hope there will.
Show business is like a ball
game-One or two hits make q
lot of difference!
"My kids haven't seen much
Of the theater. I doubt If
George has been backstage more
than two or three times, and
then only in one Of my shows.
My sister and I were raised
backStage, but the present gen.
Grafton isn't like that. I think
probably the kid will be a ball
player. He's 100 per cent for
athletics right now"
Appeared In FrOIic
ASKED. 'Nhether George, jr.. had
ever done any acting, the Broad
way veteran smiled reminiscently
and explained:
"He appeared with me in the
Friars' FrOlic last Sunday. 1
thought ne might be nervous,
SO was sort of patting him on
the back just before we went
on. 1 told him he was in a
tOush spot and to stick out his
chest. What credit did I get
for that? All he said was:
I'm all right. Don't worry
about me, Dad. Worry about
yOurSelf!"
Gets Poor Marks
George, jr., according to George,
sr., gets the poorest marks of
any boy in school," But somehow
he manages to get by at exami-
nations"
His father doesn't know how he
does it and is rs perplexeG over it
as George M. Cohan ever allows
himself to get. But young George
is making lot of fine friends" ;"

Big Demand For Big Game
Licenses Says Commission
More Non resident Hunters
Flocking to Montana Than
Ever Before

Helena, Mont, Oct. 21-(Spec-
ial)-While thousands of Monta-
ma sp0rtsmen are heading for the
deer and elk hunting grounds,
creating such a demand for big
game licenses as has never before
been witnessed in the state, east
ern and middle western hunters
are likewise turning their atten-
ton to big game opportunities of
the Treasure State.
But the hunters are not alone in
their demands for select portions of
wild mutton. The State Fish and
Game Department for years has been
receiving it's quota of strange re-
quests, confession of conscience strick-
en- violators who have hit the sawdust
trail and belated remittances for hu-
man errors. A new use for Montana
deer, however, has developed in the
following letter received from a wo-
mai in Mulberry, Kansas.
81 am writing to ask a favor. | UNI
derstand there are a good many deer
in Montana. Would it be possible to
get me the marrow out of the saddle
bone of a deer. | am very hard of
hearing and know that the marrow
fl ON the saddlebone of a deer will
bring back my hearing, as | have seen
1t tried on my husband, who, at one
time was totally deaf. He could not
hear a sound. Now he can hear as good
as anyone. / will gladly pay you for
it. But it must be the marrow of a
saddlebone."
Hence, here's the opportunity for a
Montana sportsman to do a good
turn. First he must find the saddle
bone and then locate the marrow. The
State Fish and Game Department will
do the rest.

Will Be Guests at Jack Dwy'
er's Camp During Hunt
ing Season

The Big game cas- opens in
the Whitefish region on October
25. In order to fittingly observe
this momontuous event for the
grizzlies. elk, deer, flying squir-
rels and boot owls, the services of
A. G. Amundson, Poscu POpescu
and Doctors Hall and Gustafson
have been secured by the Izaac
Walton League of Whitefish to
open the season with the proper
kind of bang. These men are very
popular whatever the game con-
,servation idea has become a lead
ing issue. They know that these
men will give the big game the
right idea as soon as they show
up around Whitefish-the game
will take one look or whiff and
they will hide out or hole up with
the speed of chain lightning. They
will remain in hiding through the
entire open season. When the
Plentywood quartet returns home
the big game will once again roam
the wilds without fear of annihil-
alton.
Our local boys leave Friday,
October %, (nOte the day and
date). They will drive all night
and expect to reach the Jack
Dwyer wickiup at noon on Satur-
day. Jack will act as host for our
gang during their stay in the
Rockies. Their payment for COM
ing is already hanging dressed in
the big ice box in one of the
Whitefish meat markets. They
would not consent to 60 until
some game had been obtained to
pay them for their trip. Indians
brought in what our boys needed.
