JESSEL
AS HECHT
SEES HIM
BY BEN HECHT

One evening George Jessel, star
OF the Tiffany.Stahl talking and
singing feature, Lucky Boy"
which you may see and heer this
week at Crandall'S Metropolitan;
led Harris, the theatrical pro-
ducer, ana / were sitting in q
cafe discussing Jessels talents.
We had seen hfs vaudeville act at
the Palace Theater In New York
city.
JED Harris was singing Jessel's
praise az a comedian--as y true
comic spirit. And belaboring his
more lachrymose side. He re.
sented the manner in which Jes-
sci, the comedian, suddenly sat
himself down on the orchestra
piano and, taking the audience
into his confidence, discussed Ito
low music) his memories OF his
mother and his past. Tears rolled
out Of the Jessel eyes, the Jessel
voice choked. He controlled HIM
self with difficulty from sobbinE
aloud and finished in a song
about Mother. his True Friend.
This exhibition, Jed Harris In
sisted, was tawdry and unreal,
and represented the cheap side OF
JessePs talent.
Jessel argued, q bit nervously,
that It might be tawdry. but un-
real It wasn't. When he thought
of such things as he had talked
about, sorrow naturally filled his
soul and weep he must. He was
n Jew.
The realistic Jed Harris pooh.
poohed.
Then q curious thing happened.
The conversation began to take
an odd turn. Jessel, with a cum
ming and cruelty which escaped
our notice, was asking Jed Har-
ris questions. And In reply to
these soft queries. JED Harris was
talking about his early East Side
days, about his mother. about the
strange Cinderella ending his
riches had given the struggling
life Of his parents.
Tears filled Mr.. Harris eyes.
His words choked.
And suddenly the banjo voice
OF Jessel struck through the purr
Of "reminiscences.
Look! Lookr' cried Jessel.
pointing to the moist Harris
eyes, "such a thing he has never
seen. Quick. Go get him
piano. He's doing my act"
And, initiating the Harris voice.

song that had outraged the realist
an hour before.
I can imagine nothing more diff
ficult to write than play for
George Jessel.
This is because George Jessel
IL already a playa complete
drama, perfectly characterized,
brilliantly equipped with dialogue,
gesture, emotion and even make.
up.
From his nose to his nostag glias,
from the arrogant and ironic turn
Of his words to the fire hose pat
ter of his tears, Jessel Is the
happfest portrait the Jew has
yet invented OF himself.
This melancholy strut, this
droll and slightly contemptuous
aplomb and this anarchistic
laughter that calls itself Jessel
has only one rival in literature
Mr.. Samuel Weller. With this
difference-in Jessel's case Jessel
is both the author and the char
acter.
He has selected himself, fitted
himself with a hilarious lingo,
twisted savage and penetrat-
ing pessimism into a Punch and
Judy guffaw of caricature. He
has written and dramatized
George Jessel into existence
definitely and brilliantly.
1t is this fully drawn, highly
spiced personality, complete in it's
point of view no less than it's
whimsical infections. that ap-
pears on the stage and now on
the talking screen as an actor.
