JESSEL IS BOSS
George, all-American toast
master during the reign of
Jimmy Walker, has lost that
bashful little boy manner but
still talks out Of the side Of
his mouth, still phones mama
to see how Anna's fellow is
coming on the marriage pro-
posal, still sings q song in the
best Gus Edwards tradition, and
still tells q story the way stories
have a right to be told.
Norma Talmadge adds her
decorative presence to the act
and gags with her husband
about things matrimonial. She
remains youthful and comedy,
making it rather difficult to re-
call she is the same Norma
who with Eugene O'Brien
caught the country's imagina-
ton so wildly in silent-picture
days.
Added attraction and surprise

Approaching rapidly is the

This weeks stage and screen
provender at the Earle fits into
that category exactly. Light

| weakened by age and recent ill., neSSeS.
 Consultations were held by Dr. Milani and Prof. Venceslao Bianchi, famous heart specialist, through out the night.
 The 81-year- old Pontiff suffered his first heart attack at 10 p. m. Thursday night while reading in his library. Attendants immediate ly took him to his private apart mentS.
 Cancel Audiences
 It was decided at that time to cancel all audiences, but by II p. m., the Pope was considerably improv- ed. When he learned that his sec- retaries had cancelled his engage mentS he countermanded them. He said that none of his scheduled au- diences were to be changed and that he particularly wanted to keep his appointment with Cardinal Mundelein at Il a. m. Friday.
 T especially want to see him be- cause he is leaving tomorrow to re- turn to the United States" the Pope said.
 He then went to bed. He arose at a. m. his usual hour and said mass in his private chapel. He held his usual conference with Cardinal Pacelli, papal secretary of state, discussing the days program.
 Suffered Collapse
 This finished, he started to go to his private apartments for his audience. He became dizzy and collapsed.
 His secretaries immediately took him to his bedroom. Prof. Filippo Rocchi, medical attendant, then on duty, was summoned.
 Dr. Rocchi gave him restoratives to ease his labored breathing. Dr. Milani was called and at D. m. he left the Pope's condition steadily improved.
 After a quiet afternoon the Pope's condition grew much better" Then at 2 D. m. he took a sudden turn for the worse. Dr. Milani was summoned and found his heart weaker.
 When the Pope was seized with the first agonizing pains which compromised his breathing, attend ants administered oxygen and oc- casionally camphor.
 Sister Visited Him
 Before the Pope took a turn for the worse last night, his sister, Don- na Camilla Ratti, 79, visited him.
 Dr. Milani and Prof. Bianchi con- suited at p. m. and again at 11:20 D. m. Dr. Milani decided to stay throughout the night. He slept in an adjoining apartment.
 The series of heart attacks was first attributed to the Pope's ener- getic activities in connection with his annual week of spiritual exer- cises" in preparation for the Christ mas celebrations.
 Dr. Milani has been doubly att tentive during the last week and had expressed his intention never to leave the Holy Father out of my sight"
