COHAN’S BEST In keeping w ith the progressive policy of the theatre, M anagers Nel son and Henkle have secured Geo. M. Cohan's first photoplay, "B road way Jones." Ever since the early d ays of the motion picture interests w ith flat tering offers but it w as not until a few days ago th at he finally decided to branch outinto this field. At the head of his own com pany he com menced activities in the m otion pict ure art with the sam e en th u siasm ml energy th a t has m arked h is great success in theatricals. Select ing "Broadw ay Jones,” conceded to be bis biggest stage h it and w hich w as w ritten undproduced by h im self. he m akes his bow as a screen s ta r and thut the film version of tiiis play will even score a g re a te r suc cess than the original play is freely predicted.
