M. Cohan would naturally be expect -
ed to encounter particular difficulty in :
that would fit his!
obtaining a hat
head, for if any person connected
to any greater extent that George M.,
that individual has never been written
about.
Quite contrary to the case often ap
parent, Georgio Cohan is today an un
affected and democratic as he was
during the days he took lessons on the
violin back in Providence, R. I. His
many friendships are sincere regard
less of "stations in life" and he is as
popular with the stage carpenter as
he is with the greatest theatrical and
motion picture celebrities. That he
will gain hosts of new friends as a
result of his forthcoming motion pic
turo debut is readily expected.
"Broadway Jones" is his initial pic
ture to be realeased by Artcraft Pic
tures in the very near future in La
Grande.

treatment of so-called German-Americans.
"Probably 95 per cent of the

such heritage of hate again, a herit
age it would take a generation or
more to wipe out. Unless we are just
we cannot hope to retain the respect
and loyalty thousands of so-called
German-Americans are eager to give
us. Because a few irresponsible Ger
mans talk foolishly, let us not be un
fair to the great body of German-derived
Americans who are with us
