RIVCLI, SAN BENITO

An elaborate musical revue, es-
pecially staged for the picture,
forms a part of THE Singing Fool"
AL Jolson'S Super-Special production
which Warner Bros. are now pre-
senting at the Rivoli theater.
The new Warner Bros. theater in
the film capital was the scene Of
this single performance, which was
tagged under the direction of Larry
CeballoS. famous producer of dances
and spectacles. The show" began
at midnight, and the entire lower
floor of the great theater, which
has a seating capacity Of three
thousand, was crowded with a. au-
dience of extras.
One interesting act on the pro-
gram is put on by twenty girls cos
tuned in doublets and hose, sWal-
lowtail coats with opera hats perch
ed rakishly on their black wigs. To
accord with the makeup used by Al
Jolson in these scenes, the girls are
also in blackface.
Asst the climax of the perform
ance, Jolson himself-the familiar,
ebony-hued Al-comeS before the
curtain and as quickly arouses the
enthusiasm Of his audience as If
they had not been extra players en-
gagged for the occasion.
Those who see the picture are due
to live through one of the most poig-
nant scenes ever shown on the
screen.
