I'll take an ad in every paper right alongside their reviews...

I remember I was a kid in medical college in Baltimore...

When he comes in here, I want you to keep quiet.

That theater's awfully cold, George. Better have some more heat put in there.

All right, no need to get excited.

Give her a chance. See how that song goes.

Oh, thanks. A couple of tickets for the show.

Good-bye, Johnny. And don't worry, we still believe in you.

Oh, I don't care for Templeton. I'm looking out for you.

Well, that's better.

But you will admit I was a bumpy wheel. You'll roll along a whole lot easier without me.

Henry, I want you to promise the cop and Mr. Schults...

The drums rum-tumming everywhere

Oh, what a fine bunch of Reubens

Every word that I speak Goes into headlines

...so we came back to the farm...

Chances are, the way you're going, you won't be either.

Thank you. What's your partner's name?

And finished up the Boulder Dam To give the boys a chaser

We do it. Come on, let's get packing.

Like a dove nest

That's impossible. We never had a written contract.

- A surprise, Dad. - Happy birthday!

Yankee Doodle let them down.

To mingle with that old-time throng

What are you thinking about, Georgie?

Had it made up on that old backdrop you like so well, fireproofed and everything.

What does this mean?

Don't you recognize me, Mr. Cohan? I used to be a clerk at the Friars Club.

There never was anything dull about his life, either.

I'm a real-life Yankee Doodle Made my name on fame and boodle

I wrote it for one particular, very special Mary.

...to be sure the flag's still waving over us.

Ought to be arrested, every one of those hoodlums.

We'll whisper of how you're yearning

And I heard about Little Johnny Jones.

- How old are you? - Eh...

I'd settle for that too.

The blue was the blue of the free, open sky...

If you get me in to see Miss Templeton, I'll get you two passes to my next show.

- Why, Mr. Cohan, how sweet of you. - Oh, it was nothing at all.

Well, it has a nice patriotic ring to it. What do you think?

If you can fix up a good vaudeville act, we'll double your present salary...

- Oh, uh... - Here's a letter from George.

Uh, several gentlemen to see you outside, Mr. Cohan.

And it isn't long before we're looking up anxiously...

Oh, I'm an ordinary guy who knows what ordinary guys like to see.

Well, we haven't got any piano handy.

We're going roller-skating.

Over there Over there

I called it Popularity.

Oh, Daddy, he has left me.

And look here...

Why didn't somebody give me some reading glasses for my birthday?

A kid had to believe in himself to buck that.

We're not breaking up our act or our family. And besides...

You can't do this. You'll always regret it.

Unless the job was steady

The Four Cohans are as much an institution as marriage is.

...lining up a vehicle for you.

- Think she'll take it? - I don't know.

- Glad to have met you, Mr. Schwab. - That's mine.

- I can't let her have that. - What difference does it make?

We were just talking about you, George. Miss Templeton's never seen your work.

They'll never forgive you, never trust you again.

Which one do you want to open first?

Starring the author and composer, George M. Cohan."

We'll have nothing to do with you

If Mrs. R. would stay at home I'd get a decent meal

- Good-bye. - Bye.

- You liked it, Miss Templeton? - Ah!

The city of old New York

Go broke that she's a hot potato

...who called herself Marie.

We're coming over

We took the red from the flame of dawn...

Give my regards

Send the word, send the word To beware

He's all yours.

Among them, to take the bitter with the better.

- That clock right? - Yes, sir.

What's a cold bottle?

Look, if you haven't got time now, maybe a few minutes after the show.

- Good evening, Madame. - Good evening, Madame.

I'll remember that when the rent comes due.

All right, all right, let the blackballs fall where they may.

It'll pack the pews.

And they join in the chorus Of Nellie Kelly

- Too expensive. - Didn't even read the second act.

We'll be over We're coming over

Don't print it Strictly off the record

Is it gonna take him that long to discover he has no talent?

I'll take it. That'll impress him if he thinks I can smoke.

Congratulations, George, old boy. You did a great job.

- That's pretty good for a drama. - Yeah.

The food is simply terrible Just sauerkraut and veal

Who's locked my door?

- What'd you get Dad for his birthday? - Oh, nothing much. Just a smoking jacket.

- How's my double? - Your double isn't any too sure.

Of thee we sing

I had a trunkful of songs and play scripts...

I call it a hit.

If Harold laughs, then I know it isn't funny.

That's an early show. They ought to be here by now.

- There's enough water in the goulash now. - Heh-heh-heh.

- What makes you think I can't? - I'd hate to see you try it.

I'm sorry. I can't use this, Cohan.

We need more songs to express America.

Keep your eyes upon me And surprised you will be

- Certainly. - Fine. Thanks very much.

I was supposed to be off-duty this evening, Mr. Cohan...

Well, come on, tell me, how'd it go?

I'm George M. Cohan.

To the theater-going public.

We're all packed, dear.

Well, now, maybe I'm not.

Well, thank you very much for your entertainment, Mr. Cohan...

Don't print it It's strictly off the record

...I knew here was a little boy who needed looking after...

When I listen to the music Of a military band
