Warner Bros. present Al Jolson
in THE Jazz Singer" at the Capitol
theater today. The long-awaited
presentation of the perturbation of
Samson Raphaleson's comedy-dra-
ma, which continues to be a potent
attraction on the legitimate stage,
will be made a gala event.
Of the production of THE Jazz
Singer" it is said that the Warmers
have laviShed SO much thought,
care and attention that they look
upon the completed work as their
supreme achievement. For nearly
six months the picture has been in
active preparation.
The story of the rise Of the son of
the cantor who deserted his home
to become a jazz singer and at last
was torn between the desire of his
father that he succeed him in the
synagogue and his own desire to
shine on Broadway is well known.
Alan Crosland, who directed the
picture, is said to have treated the
story in the spirit in which it was
conceived. That Jolson is the log
ical exponent Of the story Of the
picture is clear from the fact that
the story of his own life parallels
it in many places.
Chief in Jolson's support Is May
McAvoy as leading woman in the
role of Mary Dale, Warner GLAND
has the role of the elderly cantor.
Among others in the numerous cast
are Otto Lederer, Eugene Besserer.
Cantor Josef Rosenblatt. Anders
Randolf, William Demarest, Bobby
Gordon, Richard Tucker and Nat
Carr.

body in a quilt, rolling 1t down.
stairs, lift it into an automobile and
driving into the country where she
dumped it by the roadside, poured
naphtha over it and then touched
a match.
Since Kitselman himself weighed
200 pounds, her signed confession
would have been less plausible were
it not that she is large and muscu-
lar. For several days after the
burning body was found by Two
farm boys July |, it remained un-
identified. "A brother finally made
the Identification.
After two hours questioning. the
woman detailed the story of her
affair with KitSelman and its end
ing. Her confession told Of her
growing disgust with Kitselman's
drinking.
HE came to our room over the
gambling house at Wyoming, Ill.
Sunday morning (June BOD" the
confession said. He had been
drinking. He grabbed a chair and
tried to strike me with it. / got
away from that. Then he tore a
mirror from the wall and brought
it down on my head. 1t smashed
in a thousand pieces and almost
sA..nned me.
ChOkes Him
FINALLY I got him on the bed
and sat watching him an hour. He
got uD, drank some more and fell
back on the bed in a stupor.
81 took off his belt and punched
more holes in 1t so I could draw 1t
lighted. Then I pulled it around
his neck until he got blue in the
face. Then I hooked it.
1T was about 1870 a. m. Sunday.
Most of the folks in town were at
church. I pulled the old patch
work quilt from under him and
threw it over his head. 1t seemed a
long time that he continued moving
under the quilt. Finally he was
still.
"I got some fish line and tied him
up, bending him SO his chin rested
on his knees. I rolled him off the
bed and wrapped the quilt around
him.
Il went down and drove the
coupe up to the door. Then / went
back. / didn't want to carry such
a load down. so / rolled it down
the stairs. At the foot Of the stairs
I picked him up and put him in
the back of the coupe"
Touches Match
She told Of driving out of town,
Of stopping to buy naphtha and Of
leaving the main road for a little
frequented byway. Then she con-
tinued:
Il took the bundle out and threw
1t beside the road in some weeds.
/ poured naphtha over it, threw the
jar away, and touched a match. It
was blazing hard when I drove
away"
The wyoming landlord from
whom the woman and Kitselman
had rented became suspicious at the
protracted absence of his roomers.
An investigation which ended with
Laura WeaveS's arrest was begun.
The girls father, Henry Weaver,
IS a prosperous Fox valley farmer.
Until a short time ago she had been
living in Peoria with Kitselman,
their common law relationship hav-
ing extended owe a period Of about
two years.
