March 2, 1959 GEORGE M. COHAN'S "FORTY-FIVE MINUTES FROM BROADWAY" WILL BE TELECAST ON "OMNIBUS" SUNDAY, MARCH 15 "Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway," the famous musical comedy by the late George M. Cohan, will be presented in a full-hour telecast on "Omnibus" Sunday, March 15 (NBC-TV Network, 5-6 p.m., EST). The cast will be announced soon. Cohan - one of the most versatile showmen in the history of American entertainment - wrote the book, lyrics and music of the musical comedy, which was first produced in 1906. Set in New Rochelle — a New York suburb about 45 minutes from Broadway - the show intro¬ duced such songs as "Mary's a Grand Old Name," "So Long, Mary," and the title song. The plot of the musical centers around the events that are set off by the death of a parsimonious millionaire, who apparently left no will. The two most likely beneficiaries are a loyal housemaid and a sole surviving relative. George M. Cohan was born on July 4 (appropriately enough), 1878* into a Providence, R. I., family of vaudeville entertainers. George, his sister Josie and their parents, Jerry and Helen Cohan, were known as "The Four Cohans" until George married Ethel Levey in 189 9i thereby converting the act into a quintet.
