Eddie Foy "Cohan and Harris present George Washington, Jr. starring the author and composer George M. Cohan."..."George M. Cohan and his royal family. Books and lyrics, music and directed by George M. Cohan. Printed by Sam Divensky". That must be Cohan's alias.
George M. Cohan Mmmmm... ham or bacon?
Mary Cohan Bacon.
George M. Cohan Good. Ham makes me self-conscious.
George M. Cohan Thanks, Sam. It'll be great as long as those critics don't start to eat off my leg.
Sam Harris Oh, don't worry about the critics! You got a smash hit! It's in the air, kid! It's in the air! You can't stop anything that's in the air!
