Impudent for Times.
Movement was the chief object Of
Mr.. Cohan's earlier plays and the
dance, lively, dashing and sometimes
a bit impudent for the times,
marked them as typically Cohan-
esque. He and his sister were early
exemplars of eccentric steps, some
times galloping rhythmically on and
over the stage furniture or even
turning their backs to the audience
as though kicking derisively at those
who disliked this departure from
tradition.
One of his big successes, HThe
Rise of Rosie OReilly," was a con-
tinuous dance. the characters sway
ing, stepping and posturing through
their entrances, lines and exits.
Another favorite method was bur-
lesque. He would take a melodrama
OF small promise and turn it into a
roaring comedy. Thus, for example,
was evolved The Tavern" first
conceived as a straight mystery
play. 1.-THE Choice of Men" but
shown to It's audiences as thriller
whose tense moments ended in guf-
flaws as q quick curtain descended
upon a ridiculous twist In situation
or lines.
The patriotic note was used when
ever opportunity offered and such
musical shows as Little Johnny
JONES'" George Washington, Jr."
and The Yankee Prince" were mo-
tivated by waving flags and songs
like THE Grand Old Flag" and
Gee, Amt I Glad I'm Home Again. :
Recognized BY Presidents.
Ability, to popularize such senti-
ments with swinging melodies and
frank adaptations ef musical
themes made for his greatest single
song success, @over There. Mr..

81 Die as j. 5. Ship
Sinks in 20 Seconds
After Iorpedoing
Heavy Loss BIumed on
Failure to Give Order
To Abundon Vessel
By BE A.sociated Press.

By the Associated Press.
AN EAST COAST PORT, Nov. S.
Thirty-one crewmen perished when
their United States merchant ship
sank 90 seconds after she was tor
pedoed OF the north coast Of South
America late in September, 10 sur
vivors reported on their arrival here.
The Navy announced the sinking
today.
Survivors told naval officers they
attributed the heavy loss of life to
the fact that although q general
alarm was sounded following the
attack, no order to abandon ship was
given. The crew waited In orderly
fashion for the order until only 4
few moments remained in which
they believed it possible to launch
lifeboats.
With the ship listing to port and
water rushing over the decks, the
crew found it impossible to launch
the boats. Many men we're believed
to have gone down with the vessel
Her port bulkheads blasted apart
Dy single torpedo explosion, the
ship sank almost Immediately after
she was hit.
The sub was not sighted and ap-
parently left the scene Immediately
after firing the projectile.
Survivors swan about in the sea
until they found four life RATS
which had been set adrift from the
ship. A naval vessel rescued them
eight days later and landed them
at an island port While on the
RATS the men subsisted on food and
water rations they had managed to
salvage before the ship went down.
After some time spent at the is
land port the crewmen obtained
passage to this country.
The sinking brought to SIG the
Associated Press tabulation of an
nounced sinkings in the Western
Atlantic since Pearl Harbor.

received from Joseph Tumulty, Sec

In 1918 he joined an all-star cast

medal was authorized by Congress.
Expert at Tempo.
Mr.. Cohans own playing of parts
was marked by what dramatic critics
call tempo and he instilled it into
the casts of the plays which he pro-.
duced. But his own peculiarities
were distinctly individual He talked

between midnight and dawn, 4 sur
vival of the early transforming days
when those hours were about all
that he could call his own. He wrote
his plays out on yellow paper with q
pencil that seldom was sharpened
and never worried about things the
atrical. "A flop gives me as much
of thrill as the biggest box ofice
success" he said.
But "hops" were comparatively
rare in his experience. His first de-
cided hit was Little Johnny Jones'"
produced in 1904. It ran two years
and made Mr.. Cohan a fortune, for
he was author, owner, manager and
star in the piece. "Forty-five
Minutes From Broadway" was an
other big money maker and Get
Rich Quick Wallingford," his first
attempt at something besides flag
flying productions, was one Of his
greatest successes.

and fortune.
He had less success when he tried
straight editing with "The Spot

1 to publicize his attractions and to
answer critics who did not like some
Of the Cohan & Harris offerings.
He wrote personal column for the
publication, but it began to eat up
the profits Of the plays and was
discontinued. -..--.-.
He was a disciplined listener and
observer, sometimes sitting for hours
In company while others chatted,
joked or boasted. He was an adept
at slipping out to the lobby after
a first night, hiding the crowd and
listening to what his audiences had
to say. Changes in lines or even
whole acts frequently resulted from
these observations.

For Better Homemaking

How are your awnings for this
summer-or for that matter, for many
more summers to come? Since the
government has cornered for the time
being the entire future output of cot
ton duck, you won't be able to buy
new shades, awnings, beach umbrellas
or loads of other handy canvasses
which have become indispensable.
But fortunately, paint-makers have
already come forward to meet the
problem with new kind of paint made
especially for canvass awnings and
other coverings now on sale.
Unlike ordinary paint, this will not
stiffen the fabric, will not crack, is
sun resistant, water repellent, and,
most practical of all, it actually re-
tards rot and mildew. Thus it redeco-
rates old awnings and preserves them
as well.
This paint is very easy to apply, and
may be put on by the rankest amateur,
and once it has been applied, and the
awning returned to it's correct posi-
ton, rain cannot hurt the paint. Seven
colors are offered, plus black and white.

of all time-has been completed far
in advance of all calculation. Already
peacetime plants are in wartime pro-

"Assembly lines are rolling with
steadily gathering speed. Torrents of
war materials are pouring out in ever

obsolete. Months ahead of schedule

Women In Industry

Do you want a government job?
More women are employed by Uncle
Sam as statisticians, accountants, So
cial welfare workers, specialists in job
placement, laboratory technicians, re-
search economists, legal advisers, and
labor law inspectors as result of the
governments far-reaching social pro-
grams.
The Women's Bureau, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor, has released bulletin
full of thought provoking facts for
any woman worker, or girl now in
school, who thinks ahead to a little
postwar planning for a government
career. 1t tells how to get a govern
ment job. 1t takes up the topic of
exams, appointments, kinds of jobs,
ages and salaries. Tables of statistics,
some showing comparisons between
men and women, appear in the bull
letin.
Pantry Palaver
Do the mild spring breezes bring
out in you the desire to cook a meal
over charcoal in the woods? Food
never tastes better than when cooked
this way, and frankfurters split down
the middle with piece of zippy cheese
inserted and then wrapped in piece
of bacon secured with a toothpick are
just the thing to broil on the end of a
birch twig. Be sure to take along a
spicy barbecue sauce to dip the franks
in, just as soon as they are done, be-
fore you pop them into bun.
Another good campstyle sandwich
is made by putting thin slice of
cheese on a slice of soft bread, cover
with a piece of ready-to-serve meat,
then roll Slip onion rings around the
roll and toast until brown and heated
through. These are good with crisp
salad
An easy way to carry salad to a
picnic is to make a cup of several let
tuce leaves, fill with mixture of your
favorite salad, and wrap like a pop
corn ball in a square of cellophane or
waxed paper. They are really ire
sistible.
Chefs Hints: A nippy cheese sauce
is grand over fresh asparagus which
is coming into the markets plentifully
now. Serve on shortcake.
Glamorized canned baked beans
Open as many cans as needed, and
pour into casserole. Add molasses,
brown sugar, minced onion, green pep
per diced, garlic, catsup or chill sauce
fresh or canned tomatoes. Put into
slow oven for couple of hours. Half
hour before removing cover with bacon
strips or franks pushed well down into
the liquid. You have beans that father
will rave about!
Make a Spanish sauce by browning
in bacon drippings, 3 tablespoons each
of onion, green pepper and celery
Season with salt, pepper and cloves
Add one can of tomatoes, simmer 1C
minutes and add " cup cheese sliceo

noodles and serve with any leftover
meat. They'll ask for more!
