He feels cheaper than a small town / alm when he finds that the girl who came to his school, presumably in the hope of becoming a screen ac- | tress, is a Western star determined to learn for herself what sort of place he !s riinning. She is now ready to devote her high-priced talent, to- gether with her heart, to the young | idealist whose picture, “The Birth of America,” is going to mean so much | to the country.

Grace Moore has a Pleasing voice and an axreeable mar- mer as the picture actress. Among other newcomers is Skcet Gallarher, a nimble, amusing comedian, who, in About Plays and Players By BIDE, DUDLEY time for George M. Cohan to return to London is drawing near and the fact has caused us to reflect deaply on theatrical condi- tions in New York with especial refer- @mce to Mr. Cohan and the Equity. ‘We haven't any opinion to express on ‘the merits of thie controversy, but we will say the whole mix-up seems too ed Mr. Cohan ts @ producer who asually employs hundreds of players and spares no expense in making hin stage offerings the best. Ha, further. taore, is an influence in theatricale that tends to drive away gloom when ‘times aren't good. In fact, he's a ‘theatrical bulwark and he ts needed America right now. So why sand fim to Durope? To us % appears thet there ts a way open for Mr. Cohan to become mctive here again without lose of dig mity on amybody’s part. Wiry can't ‘the Producing Managers’ Association, which is (mmune from the Equity ghop idea until 1924, unanimously elect Mr. Cohan to membership, then take ‘the membership to him and urge him to accept it? Let them point out to ‘him the good he can do here for the theatrical profession and let the Equity officials join in urging him to accept the George M. Cohan ta a fighter and ibe can hate just as strongly as he can Mke. Beneath it all he has good gound common sense and he knows how to use It. The Pquity heads have the same sort of common sense @nd are also adepts ut its use, The return of George M. Cohan to New York theatricals would be a victory for everybody concemed. The show neeis him; the managers peed him and the Equity needs him end tis activities, No one has mepired the suggestion Yerein contained. It is the child of our own brain. If the youngster is deformed, let's chloroform him. But let's examine him closely for defects Refore we buy the poison.
