SUMMER NEWS OF THE THEATERS.

Aleister Crowley, criticizing "The Star Spangled Banner" in Vanity Fair, [The Star-Spangled Banner] says seriously the George M. Cohen is a great poet, and that "Over There" is a masterpiece. Here are the words to the master-piece:

Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun;

Take it on the run, on the run, on the run;

Hear them calling you and me,

Every son of libertee:

Hurry right away, no delay, no delay,

Make your daddy glad to have such a lad;

Tell your sweetheart not to pine,

To be proud her boy's in line.

CHORUS.

Over there, over there.

Send the word, send the word, over there;

That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming;

The drums rum-tumming, ev'rywhere.

So prepare, say a pray'r,

Send the word, send the word, to beware;

We'll be over, we're coming over,

And we won't come back till it's over,

Over there, over there.

Johnnie get your gun, get your gun, get your gun;

Johnnie show the Hun you're a son of a gun.

Hoist the flag and let her fly.

Yankee Doodle, do or die;

Pack your kit, show your grit, do your bit;

 Yankees, to the ranks, from the towns and the tanks;

Make your mother proud of you,

And the old Red, White and Blue.

CHORUS.

Over there, over there, etc.
