Jolson At Capitol
In Talkie Version
Of Jazz Singer

Now and then comes along a
moving picture that is out of the
ordinary and distinctly worth while.
Such a picture is Al Jolson'S "The
Jazz Singer" now being shown at
the Capitol theater.
This is the first musical comedy
stars first appearance in the mo-
vies! And, it is his greatest hitI
The effect Of his presence is VOL
canic, emotional in the extreme,
moving audiences to frantic ap-
plause and tears and laughter.
1.-THE Jazz Singer is the story of
Jolson's own life, for he, too, like
the Jack Robin Of the play, ran
away from an orthodox home when
a boy to follow the lure Of the stage,
and, like Jack, won fame and for
tune on Broadway.
When on the heights the boys
soul is torn between love for the
stage and for the oma Of the
stage. who has made possible his
success, and love for the humble
parents whose hearts still long for
his return.
The cast is worthy of the star
which is saying a great deal. Dainty
May McAvoy plays brilliantly the
part of the toe dancing lady who
changed the course Of his life. War

ALCORN MAY BE
QUIETLY LET DOWN

tice department vacancy. Rumor now
has It. however, that the President
will bow TO the Bingham Roraback
opposition TO Acorn, and win not
name the Connecticut lawyer the
successor Of Mrg. Willebrandt, but
may, instead, appoint him to the
crime commission in recognition of
his efforts at law enforcement.
The commission can appoint its
aides without the approval of the
Senate, and the President could, IL
he so desired, give Alcorn a commits
sion job regardless of how Bingham
and Roraback might feel about it.
Bingham Silent
Meanwhile, Bingham remains 81
lent. When questioned, the Senator
said he knew nothing Of the possibili-
~ Of Aleorn being selected to serve
on the commission other than what he
read in the newspapers and stated
that he had nothing to say on the
matter.
Just what position Aicorn might
be given on the law commission, of
course, remains a matter of conjec-
ture. but since he has been recon-
mended highly 10 the White House
and justice department as dry en-
forcement official, il might be argued
that he would be named a prohibition
expert of the commission.
II seems certain, from reports
here, that Alcorn is sure to receive
some federal recognition. II is adj
mitted that the Alcorn case has been
given too much publicity to be lightly
tossed aside, and there are many who
feel that the President may place him
on the crime commission in order to
compensate for the loss of the APP
pointment as assistant attorney gen.
eral.

Return of The
Chestnut Tree
Branches With Large Healthy
Burrs Attached Brought to
Patriot Oficc.-Growth Once
Valuable as Lumber.

What the view OF forestry experts
may be is not known. Evidence that
chestnut trees, at one time . thrifty
growth in this section, ten years ago
denuded by blight, may yet survive
and again become an important FAC
tor in the lumber industry, Is piilng
up.
Last Friday morning 4. 7. Ryant
Of Grosvenordale, while on his way to
Putnam. saw a young chestnut tree
in full bear. He brought three
young, healthy, branches TO The Pa
triot office. Two of the branches
bore five burrs and the third six
burrs. These were sound and OF I'M
usual size.
Two weeks ago The Patriot carried
an item stating that small tree IN
West Woodstock Is bearing chestnut
burrs this year. The evidence sub
mitted by Mr.. Ryant substantlates
this story.
Since the branches containing the
burrs have graced a desk in the edl-
torial department a number Of people
have exclaimed at the unfamiliar
sight. One man wanted TO know If
they were the "real old fashioned"
chestnut burrs or If they were some
thing imported.
III the chestnut tree can be restored

wood is always in demand for cross

Therefore, besides seeing as living
characters the immortal romance
which Miss Ferber gave the world IN
