THE JAZZ SINGER"
 LAST TIME, COLISEUM

Al Jolson will be heard for the last times tonight at the Coliseum theatre in 'Ths Jazz Singer" May McAvoy as the dainty little dancer, with Warner Gland, are the stars supporters.
 The scenes that show the hero singing Kol Nidre with his father in bed, listening to it will draw tears in the eyes Of Gentle and Jew alike. These scenes are in- herently effective; but accompanied by the Vitaphone, they are made many more times effective. The closing scenes, which show the hero singing from the stage, to his moth CT sitting in the first row is cffec- tive, too; it is tenderly pathetic to see the son singing to his mother, the words of his song fitting the occasion.
 Mir. Jolson sings with the Vita phone several times. In one in- stance, after the song stops, one l feels as if the characters were deaf and dumb; that is the effect it has upon one when the transition from the voice to silence takes place.

Returns Verdict of Not Guilty Late Tester

Robert Smith, indicted on charge or rape, was yesterday freed by verdict of a jury in the United States district court, after trial that lasted about two days.
 The jury received the case about 5 o'clock. It was out but short time, it's deliberations occupying approximately 10 minutes. Smith was defended by H. F. Faulkner while Assistant United States At tornay c. w. Folta appeared for the Government.
 The current term of court was temporarily halted this morning on account of the illness of Judge Harding. Yesterday morning he developed a severe cold, but was on the bench for the afternoon to con- clude the Smith trial.
 This morning his cold was worse and, on the advice of physicians, he will remain at his home until Mon day. Members of the petit jury panel were excused from duty until Monday morning.
 The Grand Jury is apparently ready to wind up it's investigations. This morning it began it's inspec- tien of court headquarters, jail, and
