LOVERING Special to The Key West Citizen BOSTON, Nov. 23.—When the great soul of George M.’Cohan went “Over There” the other morning in New York City, the heart of a life-long friend in Boston began to throb in dirge- time, and his eves grew dim with tears, as he thought of their young manhood together in the Hub, and of Cohan’s rise to fame in the theater while the friend had become mayor of one of the great cities of the United States. Hon. John F. Fitzgerald, sev- eral terms chief executive of | this city, told a dinner of Bos- ton newspaper editors and writ- ers of two and three decades @go, the story of his intimacy with Cohan, and of how, when the actor was playing Boston, he never failed to telephone “Fitz” so they might get together of a forenoon or after a show. The ex-mayor, who is known throughout the East for his fine tenor voice and the singing of| his single favorite, “Sweet Ade- line”—even as a feature of cam- paign speeches over the radio— attended the newspaper men’s dinner as a former editor, last Saturday night. The dinner was Served, as it has been for many} years, on the Saturday after the State election, in the famous Toom at the oldest hotel in Bos- ton, the Parker House, where Charles Dickens stayed some time on the occasion of his ' Visit to this city many years ago. Was A Great Soul “George Cohan,” Mr. Fitzger- ald said, “was one of the great- est souls I ever knew. His heart and his mind were absolutely clean. He lived clean, and he Gied in the faith. “Tn his latter days, he was out of step with Broadway. He hat- ed smut and filth with the hat- red of a seasoned trooper who knew what the stage had been, and what it might be again. He Would not stand for ‘off-color’ stuff, outspoken or sneaked in- tothe lines, or put out by ges-| tures. His spirit revolted—and his grand example did not pre- vail. His efforts with his own Productions, which were always} fine and uplifting, were fre- quently isneered at by the pro-; ducers who were raking in mon- ey. by the sort of stuff they pur- veyed. Md “Cohan could not fitly express his' disgust when in’ ‘What Price Glory’, dirty talk was for the first time tossed buoyantly over the footlights. His sense of de- Cency was outraged at the rotten obscenities of ‘Tobacco Road’. Along with this pollution of the Stage and the public that sup- ported it, came the vilest of burlesque shows, the ‘Louse Opera’, as blase Broadway ob- scurely but meaningfully called it. Saw Stage Degenerate IS PAID HIGH LIFE-LONG FRIEND and he saw it degenerate to the lowest plane of indecency; but the generations that gtew up after the first World War, were lacking the moral fibre of their ancestors, and there were enough of them all over the country to make the box office cash regis- ters ring with gold. “Cohan often came to Boston on tour, and I think he never once failed to get in touch with me. Many a night after the per- formance I stretched out with him across his hotel bed and we reviewed over our young ‘days here together, sometimes till 3 o’clock in the morning. “If the nights were hot, he used to want to walk, and we went up over Beacon Hill and around the State House, studied St. Gauden’s great sculpture of Col. Robert Gould Shaw lead- ing his negro troops in the Civil War; sat on benches on the Com- mon or the Public Garden, and talked over old days. I remem- ber him as little more than a lad, when his father was stage doorkeeper at the Boston. Mu- seum. George often felt the owners didn’t treat vhis father right, and the boy threatened more than once to make theat- rical owners pay and pay well when he grew up, for the shabby dealings with his dad. “Cohan went on to wealth and influence, and he owned five theaters at pne time when his career was'at' his height—and be- lieve mej‘he Inever did forget the way hisi\father“had once been treated here. “He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, July 4, 1878, and he never forgot it. I believe that fact was the inspiration for every one of his patriotic songs and shows. ‘Over There’ was a climax to his .career—you all know the story of how it came to him as an inspiration, and he had the first stanza down in notes before he got héme the night the idea seized him. “He came very near writing a show about Paul Revere. One jnight not so many years ago, after the statue of Revere had been set and dedicated in the North End—an Italian district reaching down from near Wash- ington street to! the harbor front —I asked Cohan to go over to the new Paul Revere Park with mei Itvis undet the old''North Church. where the Janterhi vere hung; ‘oneif by land, ‘axd two if by sea’. i Gysae “Cohan almost ‘cried. He stud=' ied the statue of Revere on his horse—‘a shape in the moon- light, a bulk in the dark’—and for some minutes he stood trans- fixed. Then he burst out: ‘What a statue, Fitz! What a story— to write the show. That could jhave been his patriotic valedic- tory.” Ex-Mayor Fitzgerald wiped “The playwright in his time Baw the stage rise to a high peak, away some tears. “They buried George today in New York City. 1934...

One of the biggest unintentional laugh lines ever written was that in a play which turned up at the Na- tional theater.

In the last few days, figures have been |give all the stories authenticity. |John A. Nolen, Jr., a director of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, announced that the Washington metropolitan area now has approximately 1,260,000 persons, compared with 908,000 when the official census was taken April 1, 1940. That's a growth of more than 33 1-3 per cent in two anda half years, a staggering expansion with which no city of any size could cope some without herculean effort — the| kind of effort in which the District of Columbia’s unwieldy “city government” is woefully lacking. Nolen’s breakdown of these fig- ures is more enlightening. In the District itself, the population is now 850,000, compared with 663,- 000 in the last census. The Mary land suburbs now have 225,000, compared with 163,000; and the Virginia suburbs 185,000, com- pared to 108,000. In other words, more than half of Washington’s growth has been within the comparatively narrow Jimmy Cagney has done him an everlasting service, and paid him a great tribute in Doodle Dandy’. ‘ George told me he’d let no- body but Cagney do it.
