Cohan's first pho- j toplay, to be released by Arteraft Pic i tures, "Broadway Jones," which will be shown at that papular playhouse next Monday and Tuesday. Ever since the early days or the motion picture, George M. Cohan has been approached by various big mo tion picture interests with flattering offers but it was not until a few months ago that ha finally decided to branch out into this field. At the head of his own company he com menced activities in the motion pic ture art with the same enthusiasm and energy that has marked his great success in theatricals. Selecting "Broadway Jones," conceded to be his biggest stage hit and which was written and produced by himself, he makes his bow as a screen star and that the film version of this play will even score a greater success than the original play is freely predicted. "It was not because I have under estimated the potency of the motion picture nor its great popularity and the fact that it has come to stay and exert a great influence on the life of the people that kept me from the cam era heretofore," said the popular actor-author-producer recently in con nection with his tardy decision in be coming connected with the motion pic ture field. "I have teen so very busy with my theatrical affairs that I never felt I had the time to devote to it which I knew was quite necessary in order to make the big success it de mands. Now that I am in the game, 1 1 am giving it my very best efforts, having studied it from every angle." I Few American writers for the stage have caught the real spirit of what the people want better than Mr. Cohan and "Broadway Jones" is particularly a happy choice as his initial screen vehicle. The subject gives him an op portunity to shine in the very kind of thing he can do 'better, perhaps, than anyone else of today, namely to pre sent a swiftly moving, interesting and dramatic story about a topic um versally Known. Knowing his own talents better than any other, he has given himself a vehicle in Broadway Jones," which allows his characteris tic touches, so well known throughout the country, ample play.

PEGLER (United Press Staff Corresponds) London, March 20. (By Mail) With a bituminous grunt the blunt nosed engine of the "leave train" jerks to a full stop in King's Cross station. Compartment doors fly op en all down the length of the coaches. Tin hats clatter against rifle butts, tin drinking cups jangle on bayonets and steel studded hoots make a thund- i emus sound on the pavement. But, frankly, Tommy is lost. The ferocious fighting man from the Ancre, Salonica the Mesopotamia is a bewildered boy during his stop over in 1ondoti on his way home on leave. i And that is why Mrs. Ruby S. Grant j is standing at the head of the plat- j form, with the'smilo that camo from Frankfort, Indiana. Bundled in a j nil- coat, vitn a p.-.rioct Knowledge 01 i train times at tho tip of her tongue am! a railroad guide on her arm to convince the doubtful, she is there in good weather and bad to tell these kids from the trenches where to go and how to get there. The brown swarm of men come pounding up tho platform, looking for . signs. A dozen or so are clustered around a sergeant asking advice, but he is an ex-farmer and does not know ! any more alniiit London than the j Welsh miner beside him. Mrs. Gaunt j pushes through the crowd to get at j the sergeant like a football player go- ; ii i; for the ball. ' "Now, sergeant," this in a business- liko voice, tempered by that smile, where are these boys going? ' Ser geant salutes and replies: "Oh, every where, Miss Captain." "Well, get them in groups going the same way, to simplify matters." The sergeant complies. A dozen want to go to Leeds, others to unpronounce able Welsh towns, ton to Lincoln and others are scattered in their prefer ences." Take the Leeds men for instance. Mrs. Gaunt says: "Your train goes at 4:20. It's two o'clock now. Here's what you'd better do. Go over to the Lord Roberts canteen and stow your rifles and kits. Have lunch there. Then you may stay in the reading room, play the phonograph or sing ,or you may go out to a pic ture show one round the corner. But lie back here at five minutes to train ! time ut track four." Every man of them salutes exactly as he would his commanding officer and they go off saying: "Thank you, Maw ', or "Mother, you're kind." A Canadian boy with his face fond ly shot away seemed mixed up in his directions. "Where are you bound for, Machine-Gun ?" asked the infallible guide from Indiana, catching hold of his la pels. "Nowhere." said the boy through the bondages of his shattered jaw, "J List j wandering around." His eves nar- ' Hot Lake, Ore., April 11. (Spe cial) In keeping with his oft ex pressed intention of having every thing of the best obtainable in connec tion with the sanatorium in every manner, Dr. Phy lias engaged A. L.
