Y. Keakioe Doodle King Pounds Out from Five toEight Miles Dally | By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, March (1.—Every cop between Pell Street and Lenox Avenue is wondering how George M. Cohan keeps it up. The Yankee Doodle Kid peunds a five-mile beat around the Central Park reservoir daily, and like the legend to post- men emblazoned across the facade of the Post Office, neither rain, nor hail, nor sleet, nor nuthin’ is per- mitted to interfere with Uncle George's daily dozen. It was hoped for a while that the extra duties imposed on Cohan by his role as President in “I'd Rather be Right,” during which he tap dances and bids his sec’y “take a law,” would slow him down. Far from it, the daily hikes have been increased to seven and even eight miles, and now nobody knows where the thing will end. And' yet of all the thousands aware of these goins-on, there is perhaps only one man in New York who views them with appropriate alarm. This is the actor Taylor Holmes, who impersonates Sec’y Morgenthau in the same political burlesque, and Uncle Tay is any- thing but an cxercise-field. “Hell, George,” he broke out the other day when Cohan urged him to join him for a hike, “I don’t be- lieve in exercise.” “But why not?” inquired Cohan smoothly in the manner of a con- vert who wishes to win everybody over to his side. “Well, T'll tell you. I see eye to eye with the late Sir Joseph Cham - berlain on that subject.” “And what did Chamberlain, say?” “He thought walking downstairs for breakfast and upstairs to hed at night was enough exercise for any gentleman,” Taylor explained. This gave Uncle George pause. “Gee,” he murmured wistfully, “We got elevators where I live, and so T couldn’t be an English gentleman if I wanted to. Taylor, you've ruined my day.” PR Incidentally, another famous: walker in New York is George S. Kaufman, the playwright, but whereas Mr. Cohan walks for exer- cise, Mr. Kaufman walks only to think. Practically ‘all of his walk- ing is confined to hotel rooms, where most of his plays are written. | “I'm the pacer type,” he in- formed a judge during a trial re- cently.”” My colleague sits at the table and does all the writing— 1 just pace up and down.” | At the moment it might not be amiss to ‘add that Kaufman and Moss Hart are aboard ship, some- where between here and Panama, plotting a next season’s show. Kaufman is the playwright who conferred with Edna Ferber about another play they hope to write in the near future. “You know,” said Miss Ferber, “I've always thought a figure like Coolidge would fit marvelously into a play.” “Wonderful,” cried Kaufman, “and what a cinch to write—no dia- | logue!” R e | Empire classifieds pay, VIKING CLUB IS TO HOLD CARD PARTY, DANCE SATURDAY Saturday v\|]l be the occasion of | an cutstanding social gathering of the Viking Club when dancing and cards will follow the regular meet- ing of the organization. scheduled to commence at 8 p.m The meeting is held in the 1.O.O.F.
