COHAN'S RED HI ii THERE'S ONLY ONE LITTLE GIRL »• One of those typical Cohan march songs that can't possibly fail. A march with Geo. M. Cohan's name on the title page is a real fore-runner of success. OURBAHNER "JURN TO THE RIGHT ff (JEROME-AGER) The title tells a story in itself. The lyric is one of Jerome's classics, supported by a melody that cannot be equalled or surpassed.

WILLIAM JEROME PUBLISHING CORPORATION STRAND THEATRE BUILDING, NEW YORK CITY Between 47th and 48th Street, on Broadway To acquaint the vaudeville profession with the true history off Allen's Minstrels in order that there may be no foundation for a claim from anyone questioning GEORGE F. ALLEN'S right to the COWBOY MINSTREL IDEA 1906 In 1906, to boost the election of the cowboy mayor of Omaha, GEORGE F. ALLEN formed the cowboy quartette which after election was rooted oyer the Orpheum Circuit through Mr. Carl Reiter, then manager of the Orpheum theatre, Omaha. After playing consecutively from 1906 to 1909. Bert Lament joined the act, in December, 1909. Shortly after Lament joined, the act was incorporated and styled The Cowboy Minstrels," with the stock equally divided between Bert Lamont and GEORGE F. ALLEN. THE COWBOY MINSTRELS" played until 1913 when Lamont and Allen decided to split equally, dividing all the material property, but not the NAME or IDEA of Cowboy Minstrels, which was also the property of the corporation. Which conclusively proves the right of both Bert Lamont and GEORGE F. ALLEN to the Cowboy Minstrel idea. 1916 Programs and all legal papers to prove the above are in my possession. GEORGE F. ALLEN'S CHEYENNE MINSTRELS Booked solid. Direction, ARTHUR HORWlTZ Loew Orpheum Theatre, Boston, Now (Nov. 30-Dec.2)
