Yes. You are speaking about George M. Cohan whose popularity as
a song writer, singer, actor, dancer, and Broadway show host made
him the toast of the American Musical Theater until the late
1930s or perhaps the early 1940s. Among his songs were "You're a
Grand Old Flag," "Mary," and "Give My Regards To Broadway." I
never saw the musical but there was a movie made about him with
James Cagney starring as Cohan.

I remember a musical I saw in Atlanta in 1968. I am not sure ,
but I think
it was called "George M". It had to do with a composer who
finally became
one of the leading Broadway composers, many of his melodies were
used. Was
it this George M? I recently wondered about this person, bur was
not sure
what to look for on internet.
