Show The comedian and playwright, George M. Cohan, is evidently under the impression that Salt Lake is not on the map. Listen to this from his rapid fire pen: A stands for Albany, good for one night; B stands for Boston, for two weeks all right; C for Chicago; big money; no yaps; D stands for Denver, break even, perhaps. E stands for Evans ville, Sunday night stand; F is for Frisco you may have a band. I Indianapolis fills in the tour; J. stands for Johnstown, capacity sure. K Kansas City, big coin for the west. L Louisville, just one night at its best. M Minneapolis, as good as St. Paul.. N for New York, the jay town of them all. O for Oswego, they always come late. P is for Pittsburg and Phillie., both great. Q is for Quebec, gross, three eighty-nine, R is for Rochester, S. R. O. sign. S for St. Louis, for big shows O. K., T for Toledo; ain't played it; can't say. U is for Utica, taking a chance; V is for Vicksburg, sold out in advance. W Washington, always a doubt, X is for Xenia, get in and get out. Y is for Youngstown, the management cheap, Z is for Zanesville; you'll stand 'em ten deep. In the twenty-six letters the Alphabet's got, Not one stands for Providence, Not one in the lot; I wouldn't insult the proud capital "P." I can't stand for "Prov." And it can't stand for me. |
