"rTHE SINGING FOOT" opening
l. at the Apollo today, is AL Jol-
sons second Vitaphone special pic
ture production, and presents the
famous comedian in a role in which
he reveals hitherto unsupported
versatility of talent, though it is
true that on the stage his stormy
rendition of Nanny" songs gave
an inkling of his hidden fervor.
There is but little comedy in 1.-THE
Singing Fool" and no element of it
in the action. 1t is poignant drama
enacted against the background of
the glitter of New York'S night clubs.
JolSon portrays a singing waiter,

metropolis. He falls in love with

is plunged to the depths of despair,
with everything he has attained

sorbing heart interest, and Jolson
brings into full play a marvellous
skill in touching the chords of
paths.
