Cohan "Wows em " With Satirization of New Deal In Musical Comedy Role BOSTON. Mass., Oct. 13. (AP) ataid Boston circles Republican and Democratic alike rocked with laughter today over George M. Cohan's tap-dancing eatlrlutlon of President Roosevelt and the New Deal. Cohan scored one of the most notable triumphs In hit career last night in the world premier of I'd Rather Be Right," George 8. Kaufman and Moss Hart's rlb-tlckllng musical- political comedy. The veteran comedian, returning to his first song and dance role In ten years, brought down the house when, portraying a genial tap-dancing President Roosevelt, he crooned: 4Ii I'm not reelected, I'll never fesr for hunger, I'll never fear for thirst: I have one son with DuPont, And another on with Hearst." The satire, reminiscent of the an nual Grtdlron club shows In Wash ington at which newspaper men poke good-natured fun at political plat forms and leaders, portrayed AH Landon" as an obstinate family but ler for the Roosevelt who refused to explain to the "president" how he had balanced the Kansas budget. A catchy tune called "Off the Rec ord" music and lyrics by Rlehard Rodgers and Lorene Hart was the vehicle for many of Cohan's most successful sallies. The first-night audience chuckled particularly at these verses: "I sit up In my bedroom, Reading books like Silas Marner Td read Sears Roebuck catalogues To get away from Garner. 'My messages to congress Are a lot of boola-boola; I'm not to fond of Bunk head. But I'd like to meet Taliulah." A major laugh came when the president, at a cabinet session, turn ed to Attorney General Cummlngs and ordered: "Cummlngs, take down a lawl" There waa another when the presi dent avowed : "I'm very fond of Eleanor. But I never read her column." No mention was made of the Jus tice Black controversy until the last act, when nine black-robed "Justices" danced gayly across the stage and Chief Justice Hughes warned the ntnlh man In line: "Hurry up. Justice Black. Remem ber, you've got to go on the air at 7:30 and do a Utile more explaining." The satire apparently aroused uo partisan resentment, and cries of Hpeechl Speech!" rewarded Cohan a very realistic looking Roosevelt at the closing curtain. The veteran playwright, who has been on the stage since he made his debut In I BBS at the ago of 10, thanked his audience briefly. 'S CLERKS VIE FOR DINNER With the ultimate prise a free dinner "on" the losers, two groups of employes of Mann's department store are competing in a sales con teat that will end with the closing of the store's annual 27th anniversary sale In about three weeks.

R. Durham of the Salvation Army, stated today that upon the success of this year's Com munity Chest campaign depends nia organization's ability to continue to care for the hundreds of transient men who apply to the Army during the course of a year. The adjutant Bald that the dormi tory maintained by the Army for the men Is too small to care for all applicants and that plans are ready for its enlargement. Execution of the plans depends upon the suc cess of the chest in reaching tho goal of 930.000 during the forthcom ing campaign, he stressed. Plans for enlargement of the fa cilities call for a total of 16 cota, a against 0 at present: the installation of sanitary facilities in keeping wtto the enlarged capacity, showers ana laundry facilities. Maintenance of the services to transients by the Army eliminates any necessity for citizens to assist panhandlers on the streets. Inasmuch as any worthy man, willing to work, Is provided with his night's lodging and tempo rary assistance with food and the opportunity to clean up In order that he may look for employment, Adju tant Durham said. A typical case handled yesterday was cited by the adjutant. An elderly man, whose trade is lumber scaling j and grading, fractured his hip la an ! accident from which he received no compensation. Released from the hos pital a few days ago, he maintained himself at a respectable hotel until his funds were exhausted. Knowing of no Individual willing to assist, he turned to the Salvation Army. Upon Investigation, it was found that he had been without food for a hours and had passed the previous night on a bench. A room was pro vided at a local hotel and meal orders were given on a nearby res taurant. Arjutant Durham said na felt sure that some permanent plan could m worked out whereby tat man can be surs of shelter and aut- flcltnt food. According to Adjutant Durham, a gift to the Medford Community Chest Is, In reality, a, gift to the Salva tion Army as well, for If the cam paign succeeds, lt Insures the Army of sufficient funds to maintain this, as well as other branches of relief and welfare work for the forthcom ing 12 months.
