1:33:02
I've never seen the guy and his name
all over the place, look at that.
1:33:06
"Cohan and Harris present
George Washington Jr.
1:33:10
Starring the author and composer
George M. Cohan."
1:33:14
I wonder what the M is for?
Oh, modesty.
1:33:17
- Hello, Mr. Foy.
- How are you?
1:33:19
- Enjoyed your show last night.
- Thank you.
1:33:21
- You always appear in the kind of stuff I like.
- Thank you. That's very nice of you.
1:33:26
"George M. Cohan and his royal family.
1:33:29
Books and lyrics, music and directed by
George M. Cohan. Printed by Sam Divensky."
1:33:35
That must be Cohan's alias.
1:33:38
Certainly gave himself good billing,
this George M. Cohan.
1:33:41
You don't have to memorize it,
they're all over town.
1:33:44
I'd like to forget it. Hey, fella,
you connected with this turkey?
1:33:49
- You think it's a turkey? I hear it's good.
- That's a malicious rumor to gyp the public.
1:33:54
Who is this Cohan? Where is he from?
1:33:56
- Is he an upstart?
- He's been through the mill.
1:33:59
Played everything: Bigtime vaudeville,
rep shows, even followed dog acts.
1:34:03
Must have looked like an encore.
Say, is he as good as Foy?
1:34:08
- Who?
- Foy, Foy. Eddie Foy.
1:34:12
- Oh, pardon me.
- Pardon me, I didn't quite catch the name.
1:34:16
- Would you mind spraying it again?
- Eddie Foy.
1:34:20
The star with the big show down the street
with a chorus of 70.
1:34:24
Why, I thought they looked
a little younger than that.
1:34:27
I hear now that Cohan's in town,
Foy's gonna retire.
1:34:30
Foy won't retire till he's 90.
1:34:33
Will it take him that long
to discover he has no talent?
1:34:36
I hear when he tries to sing
the orchestra puts up umbrellas.
1:34:39
Tries to sing? Why, he's a genius.
He keeps his audience glued to the seats.
1:34:44
That's one way to keep them in the theater.
Cohan does it with talent.
1:34:48
He produces his own plays,
writes his own books, lyrics and music...
1:34:52
...plays the leads, and is a great dancer.
- He dances, eh? When does he practice?
1:34:57
When you write your own plays you don't
have to practice. Cohan's done all right.
