Generally I would never correct another ATC-er on a misspelling. However, a legendary entertainer like George M. Cohan, who was called "the man who owned Broadway" and was hailed as the father of American musical comedy, deserves a little respect. Especially since he no longer has a theater named for him (but he does have a statue).
BTW there actually was an individual with a Broadway credential named G. M. Cohen. However, his first name was Geoffrey, not George. |
