AL JOLSON WEDS AGAIN
Miss Alma Osborne, Of Easton, Pa,
Bride Of Comedian

Bride OF Comedian
New York, Aug. 19.--"Yes, this is
little Egbert talking"
That's the way Al Jolson, the black =
face comedian, greeted the reporter yes
terday over the telephone. And a mo.
ment later he said:
"Yes, you have the right dope ms
usual. I'm married. She is right here
beside me now. Yes, we're very, very
happy. Doggone, but isn't this hot
day."
Which verifes the rumors that have
been flying about Broadway for sew
eral days that the Shubert comedian
was no longer keeping bachelor quar-
ters at his home, SO West Fifty ninth
street.
Neither Mr.. Jolson nor the Shuberts
would say yesterday just when or where
the marriage took place, but the bride
was Miss Alma Osborne, twenty three,
formerly of Easton, Pa, whose stage
name is Ethel Delmar, her last ap-
pcarance in New York having been in
one of the leading parts of Scandals
of 1920" 1t was while she was play
ing this part that Mr.. .Jolson met her.
Miss Delmar was known for at least
four years as one Of the most attrac-
tive young women in musical comedy,
her dark complexion and. as her ad.
mirers said. her classic features having
caused many a youth to fall in love
over the footlights.
This is Mr.. Jolson's second mar
riage He and his first wife were di.
vorced about two years ago.
