In musical highlights, the Warner Brothers forthcoming brilliant motion picture, Yankirudal Dandy, based on the 50-year theatrical career of George M. Cohan. Hi, Yank! This is the story of a real Yankirudal Dandy, a man who told the world proudly,
I am an American. It is the story of George M. Cohan, who loves and understood his country. And through singing his song, that country learned to understand itself. I'm glad to hear people say I understand my country.
Over not long ago, I created a misunderstanding without meaning to, and really had me worried. I was impersonating the President of the United States in a play called I'd rather be right when I received a summons to appear at the White House.
Was really upset when I walked into the President's office. Well, how was my double? I'm not sure Mr. President, you'll have to get me kind of work on that one. Are you sure you'll realize why I sent for you, Mr. Tohan?
No, Mr. Tohan, I don't know what. but it's a cause you, uh, you object to my impression, and you're on the stage, why? Well, you know, Mr. Kohan, I remember seeing you and your family, the fourth Kohan, when I was going to school near Boston.
Oh, the pretty cocky kid in those days. Regular Yankee Doodle dandy, always in a parade or following one, wherever there was a flag. I hope you'll have an outgrown the habit. It's a great quality.
