a film notable for three things, the un-

music Of the cantor and Hebrew choral
singers recorded clearly by the vita

which sets it apart from the average
production.

Is In his customary disguise, "The Jazz
Singer" would be one Of the greatest
Of pictures. The Broadway star, with
pathos In his voice that could wiring

easier to register when wearing his

fact that he Is more accustomed to
playing behind his blackfaced makeup
and his difficulty in letting CO. with

In the final scene. however, when
the Jazz Singer turns cantor and his

 FINGERS WHEN SKY
 ROCKET EXPLODES

Olavi kukkola, l3-year-old soI of Victor .Kukkola, fisherman, is in St. Anns Hospital with three fingers of his right hand missing, the right hand thumb fractured and both knees lacerated, as the re- suit of the explosion of a sky rocket at II o'clock Sunday morn- ing when he was playing with it. He said to have obtained the rocket from the Federal lot where the fireworks were being displayed last Saturday.
 The boy was rushed at once to the hospital for treatment. The index finger was off at the first joint and the other two complete ly gone. It was necessary to take one stitch in one knee and seven in the other, though the physician says there will be no permanent injury to them.
 Hospital authorities were told that the boy had picked up the rocket at the gF'ederal lot, where they were shot off on Saturday night, and had carried it to the Fair building that night. On Sun day morning he was playing with the rocket near his home on Starr Hill, it was said, when the large charge of powder exploded in his hand causing the injury.
