He was incredible and lived in New Rochelle. We could have been neigbhours but for 40 years.

Thanks for the footage, I'll take it anyway I can get it. Glad you left the banner. Keeps copyrights theives at bay. They didn't pay for it anyway.

[@jimcat68]

Well said.

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

Doesn't this tablet have "The Phantom President" (1932) anymore, the only musical that Cohan ever made ( yes, it shows him dancing a little)?

[@cherrysoda5255]

Why did you place FOOTAGE FARM across the top where their faces are? Very frustrating to watch.

He’s nothing like James Cagney portrayed him to be.

[@gaylegordon1075]

Move your print - “FOOTAGE FARM” and an ID number. It goes right across the faces! Ruins viewing!

[@cherrysoda5255]

I agree. Exactly what I said 😏

[@reneecarter6702]

Way to ruin the footage by having your lettering over his face.

[@ThrillzTheGreatest]

Times Square looked great at that time

[@rocistone6570]

This clip has a watermark of some kind directly over Cohan's face! What is this? A bad joke?
