- Summary
- Excerpts from newsreel footage featuring stage performer and composer George M. Cohan. In the first sequence, Cohan revisits his hometown of Providence, Rhode Island. He is honored with a parade, delivers a brief speech of thanks to the crowd and sings a chorus from his song Over There. The second sequence is devoted to the 1937 stage production I'd rather be right, in which Cohan portrayed President Franklin D. Roosevelt. At a press conference at the Alvin Theatre, where the show premiered, Cohan answers questions about playing Roosevelt. He is then seen in an excerpt from the show, in which he delivers a radio address.
