‘BROADWAY JONES” IS SURE
GEORGE M. 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.
Few A m erican w riters for th e
Stage have caught the real sp irit of
w hat the people w ant better th a n
Mr. Cohan and "Broadw ay Jones" is
p articularly a happy choice as his
initial screen vehicle. The subject
gives him an opportunity to sh in e
in the very kind of tiling he can do
better, perhaps, th an anyone else of
today, nam ely to present a sw iftly
moving, interesting and d ra m a tic
story about a topic u n iv ersally
known.
