He maintained an seldom went to it. He sacted much of his business from public telephone booths, once marking that his real office in his hat, Was AM. Worker His writing habitually was done between midnight and dawn, a survival of the early barnstorming days when those hours were about all that he could call his own. He wrote his plays out on yellow paper with @ pencil that seldom was sharpened and never worried about things theatrical. “A flop gives me as much of a thrill as the biggest box office success,” he once said But “flops” were comparatively rare in his experience. His first de- cided hit was - “Little Johnny Jones,” produced in 1904. It ran two years and made Cohan a for- tune, for he was author, owner, manager -and star in the piece “Forty-five Minutes From Broad- way” was another big money maker and “Get Rich Quick Wallingford,” his first attempt at something be- sides flag-flying productions, was one of his greatest successes. His authorship list included also " which was more of a box-office attraction as a movie than as a stage piece. “Seven Keys to Baldpate,” “Broadway Jones,” “The Merry Malones” and “Billie,”" the last being an operetta, also added to his fame and for- tune. : when he unor- office, tran- was . - - HERE FROM PORT ALEXANDER Mr, and Mys.
