JOLSON CLICKS
9. . IN ROWDY
n WHOOPEE
BY ANDREW R. KELLEY

iAl Jolson's homecoming to the
musical comedy stage after a
five-year Hollywood holiday was
signalized by an audience which
packed the Belasco Theater from
pit to dome last night. Even the
far reaches of the second balcony
were filled with JolsoniteS.
What they saw was a slice OF
continental night club frivolity
presented before a background OF
black and vivid red modernlstic
setting. The main floor and aisles
of the theater are pressed into
service to provide an enlarged
and unusual acting area. Actors
come and go in for this atmos-
phere of informality, and threaded
into the melodious whoopee is a
dramatic story of love in the
cabaret. They called it all The
Wonder Bar"
Customers Greeted
This European novelty pre-
sented the energetic AL Iolson as
a sort of conferencier or glorified
master of ceremonies. His intro,
ductory song was Good Evening,
Friends" a ditty whose business
permitted him to shake hands
with the front row and to bid
everybody a lyrical welcome. The
first appearance of the prodigal
minstrel was marked by volume
of applause that amounted to an
ovation.
Thereafter Proprietor JolSon,
Of the Wonder Bar cabaret, pro
ceeded to take charge of the pro,
gram and artfully directed the
presentation of the romantic plot
with the acting punctuated by
song and dance specialties. A
cleverly contrived system OF spot
lights focused attention on the
principals when emphasis was
needed on lines to progress the
story.
AL Grows Stouter
What about Jolson, the singer?
Well, there is a stouter Al and
one who seems to be eager to
leave behind his Nanny days.
Hence we have a cosmopolitan
or an internationalized songster
instead of the "Rockabye My

Imagine Sneaklng out into
the jungle, in the dead Of night,
to adjust a microphone on a tree,
unable to show a light, and not
knowing when a python, a leo
pard, a lion, or what not might
grab you. The boys did it almost
every night"
This is the tribute of Harry
Carey to the courageous sound
technicianS and cameramen who
accompanied the Trader Horn"
xpedition into the African
jungle life which will open Sun
day night at the National Thea
ter.
Hats Off to Actors
The actors, insists Carey, had
an easy time of it compared to
the technical staff. He takes off
his hat to them.
Il saw Anderson, the, sound
engineer, set up a microphone
and get back to safety just
about three feet before a lion
leaped at the machine with a
roar" relates Carey. Il have
seen Clyde DeVinna, the camera
man, and Bob Roberts stand
and calmly train their lenses on
a rhinoceros, careening toHerd
them, their only hope Of safety
being the accuracy of the bullet
of w. S. VanDyke, the director.
1t takes a lot Of faith in mans
shooting to do that"
Carey headed the cast in the
motion picture safari that in
vaded the African jungles to
film the screen transcription of
the famous book. He had his
adventures, too. He shot lion
and buffalo, caught huge py-
thons with a lariat, was caught
in a flood and was almost
washed into the waiting jaws of

be sure, the trace Of a Winter
Garden influence in the Ma
Mere, Ma Pere," which was
Nanny in the French mood.
This was followed by Donna
Clara" with Spanish trimmings
plugged as though selected for
the hit tune of wonder Bar"
but only mildly received last
night.
Jolson's heaviest response from
an enthusiastic constituency came
with the rendering of Yiddish
folk song, number into which
he poured all his robust dra-
matics. For a brief interlude
he donned the blaCkface veneer
to offer in the modern jazz motif,
''Lenox Avenue" closest . to the
old-time Jolson.
Lines Face Censor
Two representatives of the Dis
trict Attorneys office took note of
lyrics in an interpolated Russian
folk song story and it will be cen
sored forthwith. 1t ought to be

PATHE BUYS A
NOVEL FOR
HARDING
By HARRISON CARROLL

Copyright, 1891, Premier syndicste)
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, March 6.
Closing the deal by cable, Charles
r. Rogers, head of RK-O-Pathe,
has purchased the English best
seller, "a Little Flat in a Tenn
ple," for Ann Harding's next
picture.
In case the title is cryptic to
you, a temple" is a bachelors
apartment house.
Thousands Of copies of Pamela
Wynne's novel were sold in Eng
land during 1890. 1t is about a
girl who falls in love with q
young man and becomes his
housekeeper. The situation is
somewhat similar to that of the
memorable Seventh Heaven"
Still further cheering news is
that Horace jackson, who did
Holiday" will prepare the adap-
tation and dialogue for the
talkie.
TempuS Does Fugit!
Perhaps you will get chuckle
out of the drunk who saw Jack
Coogan dancing in local hotel
and said, "He sure was funny
when he was youngster."
Is This Utopia?
F. w. Murnau is sowing the
seeds of discomfort in Hollywood
with his description of the ideal
life in Mora Mora, the South Sea
island, where he filmed his pic
ture, "Tabu." The 1900 natives
in the tiny isle spend their time
swimming, fishing, lassoing sharks
and bathing under waterfalls
There is nothing to do but play
and love-" says the director. THE
natives do both to perfection. ."
AS soon as he can complete ar.
rangements with Paramount for
the release of his film, the di.
rector will go back to the South
Seas. II have built a house on
Tahiti, some 800 miles from Bora
Bora" he says. There I can
combine some Of our civilization
with the beauty and simplicity of
the untainted spots. Tahiti is
civilized. Bora Bora is Just a
gem to which I can go when I
want to get clear away from our
earth for a time in paradise"

The story of wonder Bar" is

member develops a yearning for
one of the cabaret patrons and in

smoothness. The incoming audi
ence was thrust Immediately into
the night club atmosphere by a
stage set with red tables and
chairs, adorned on either side
with we'll stocked bars. Care and
expense are evident in both cos
tuning and lavish detail.
First night enthusiasm inspired
a valedictory speech from Actor
Jolson in which he predicted a
long run for Wonder Bar" It
would seem like a safe prediction
with the polishing off process
completed.

vein, the spy witness gave an inter-
view to local newspaper calculated
TO prejudice the jury. When Comrade
Tom Evan was put on the witness
stand he testified that the unem-
ployed demonstrations were organized
to obtain the needs for the masses.
Violence was introduced by the police
against the demonstra tons. He said
that the Communist Party does not
have to foment grievances as the
capitalists create enough grievances.
Judge Right prohibited any critisim
OF the reformist labor unions by Evan.
In cross examination, Crown Pro-
secutor Somerville insisted that Mos
COW dictates the activities of the Gam
adam Communist Party as well as
those of the Workers Unity League,
Farmers Unity League and that the
Communist Party finances these or
CARNATIONS. He claimed that the
Party dictates to the mass language
organizations. The Crown was very
aggressive and often vehement in as
sorting that the Red International
Of Labor Unions is controlled by the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
Among the question asked of the
accused were: Did Lenin lead the
Russian revolutions? Must mass or
CARNATIONS carry out the program
of the Communist International?
Were you against singing the song of
Canada? Why do you organize De-
Tense Corps at demonstrations? Is
the Young Communist League a part
of the Communist Party? Do you

ATLANTA, Nov. 10. - That Negro
workers suffer legal lynching In the
capitalist courts, Is admitted in a
report issued here by the Southern
Commission on Lvnching. The Com
mission Is made up Of Southern lib
erals, many of whom were them
selves active as members Of the fake
Inter-racial commission in helping
the nine innocent Scottsboro Negro
boys.
The report carefully avoids the
scottsboro issue, and soft peddles the
lynching terror by lying on the num-
Der of lynchings which took place
last year, giving the number as 81
when actually there were 4S recorded
lynchings in that year.
The report while admitting that
"there is real doubt of guilt of at
least half the victims of lynching"
makes no declaration against lynch
law as such. Lynch law for Negro
workers Is supported by the Southern
liberals II only the impression Of guilt
can be worked up
The report further admits that
mob leaders can be identified with
out difficulty but are seldom in
dicted."

commission found, "soleiy because
he had defended political opponents
and another to prevent his appear

Although in all these cases the
vicious role of the capitalist court and
press and other boss institutions was
plainly evident, the commission tried
to explain the brutal lynch terror on
the basis Of lack Of education, and
low economic status" In other words,
