talkie star In Warner Bros Vitaphone
production, THE Man Who Laughed
Last" from the playlet by Edgar Allen
Woolf, which he used in vaudeville. He
is said to speak perfect English, and
his voice reproduces with precision. He
is, of course, japanese.
James J. Corbett, the pugilist, also
makes his debut in the talkies in the
role Of manager Of an ebony-hued fight

something behind It all that Is interest

interest when acknowledged stars come
In contact Unexpectedly with genuine
"star dust"
No one for a moment is disposed to
question that AL Jolson had definitely
and positively earned the title Of star,
with tts accompanying distinction, long
before talking picture was dreamed of.
And the unfortunate individual who
would ever have had the temerity to
predict that Jolson might perhaps for
sake the fleld in which he won his star

trick. in all probability, and 1t Is not at
