© Aldn't wait for an introduction, I fancy the high-geared Mr, j George M, Cohan never waits for anything, He was time and tide ina gray fell guit, « “Gilad to s6e you,” he twanged, anticipating his master of j ceremonies, ant loading cordially with his vigil. ' “Weathob’s giving the old town a great show to-day,” he observed, rub- Ding the cold out of Mis face and clapping himself into a chair dt the Hote? Astor, “Yes, fine for walking. And not bed for running, Ran all the way from the theatre to the Wellington after the show last night.” I know he was in the habit of making Now York runs, but this was a new kind. ’ “Bum knees and ankles,” he explained, giving them a slap aplece. “You gee, I've been cheating all summer, Yes, outting out the dancing, I'm just ‘Deginning again, and my lege don’t behave, So I'm running ‘em back into shape. I've got to dance; they won't let me stop. There are two things that I've got to live down: reputation as a dancer and the fact that I was born in Providence. I got away from Providence, but I can’t get away from dancing.” “But wasn't your first step toward success @ dance-atep?” “That's just it,” and the unhappy possessor of a pair of fest worth their welght in thousand-dollar bills drowned a sigh in his highball. “My: father Rad the same trouble with his feet.

Everybody's doing it now, Thirty musical melodramag have gone to pieces on the road ep far this season,” A clond of smoke from a fresh cigarette only parelally bid the youthful ploneer's pride in this dire statement, “Tt was.a risky experiment, but it happened to hit the public in the right spot. I depended largely upon my sor™s and dances, Whenever there | was a stretch of bad dialogue I tried to distract from it by keeping thingw moving. That's What you've got to do—keep things going. A lot of noise | covers a multitude of dialogue, And whatever you do, do it differently. When 1 was in the variety business the dancers used to sprinkle sand and chug away in the same spot. I threw myself all over the stage, and gov ‘away with it. I used to dance for seven minutes—I can't hold out for more theh two now-and if I didn't cough my head off PR es T got back to tha dressing-room I felt that I hadn’t done my duty. ers who heard hme cough in the afternoon used to predict that I = n't live till the night performance.

I make my time on the stage Jugt as short ae possible, I'm on} altogether just twenty-two minutes in ‘Little Johnny Jones.’ They don't get enough of me? Well, I'd rather have ‘om gay that than say they got too much of me. ‘Always leave them laughing,’ you know, But when I'm through dancing I can go.” Although Mr. Cohan impressed me as very much alive to himself a ‘well as to everything in general, he certainly wasn't boastful. “T can do an eccentric dance, and I can write a eong, and that’s the be- » ginning and the end of the story,” and to doubly sesure me of this he | tapped my shoulder in enumeration of his talents. “T’ll tel! you the best dancer of ‘em all—that’s Eddie Foy, He can tell you more things with hig | feet than anybody ever saw. And he's a great comedian—one of our very | ‘Dest Ife-savers, Sam Harris and Felix Isman tried awfully han to land | Foy on a contract, We took him over to Rector’s one night and made him, offer after offer, but he was eatisfod with life as it was, Then we bogam kidding him, offered to build him a New York theatre and keep him in| funny hats, but the best we could get was a shake of the head, We ordered everything on tho bill from soup to grapes, got him a nice oft stool for hiq feet, told the waiters to close all the windows so that he wouldn't be in a draught, kept the orchestra playing ‘I'm the Ghost of a Troupe,’ and talked only of him. If he started,to strike a match we sald, ‘No, no, you are t,’ and did it for him. Bvory time he took a bite we gave him, Foy!: {t all to himseif, But I may try my, , '—Foy!’ with the soft pedal, and after a little everybody in the place hand at the trick one of these days, ry ‘ got in the game.
