With Al. Jolson Friday, November 2.
Among the stars
who have appeared on the stage of
the New York Winter Garden, Jolson
is without. question very popular -
some critics claim he takes rank as
an entertainer of unique traits, and
one who, if need be, could entertain
an audience an entire evening without
the aid of a supporting company.
Mr.. Jolson this year is said to be
surrounded by very large company
including Lawrence D'Orsay, Mabel
Withee. Kitty Doner, Bowers, Crooker
and Walters, Frank Grace, Johnnie
Berkes, Mile. Trizie Raymond, Adolph
Blome, Robert Ryles, Harry Kearley,
William Kinley. and others. The pro-
duction, it is declared, is the most
pretentious and spectacular ever sent
out from New York.
The book and lyrics are by Harold
Atteridge and Edgar Smith; the
music by Sigmund Romberg and
James Hanley. The modern dances
and ensemble are the work of Allan
X. Foster. ]. C.. Huffman is the gem

show.
