LOS ANGELES, Nov. 29.-Tommy
Dorsey could produce much better
floor show than the performance
that has been put on SO far in SUI

the best they can to select jury.
The jury, which probably will be
seated some time today, will try the
Dorseys and Smiley on charges OF
feloniously assaulting Movie Actor
Jon Hall at party celebrating Pats
26th birthday August 5.
The lawyers are inclined, occa-
sionally, to get their movie actors
mixed up.
Jerry Giesler, counsel for Smiley
was trying to discern from a pros
pective juror yesterday whether the
testimony of Hall, whom he de-
scribed as "a well-known movie
star" would be given more consider
alton than that Of any one else. Mr..
Giesler referred to Hall as Tar
zan."
The juror, a woman, said Halls
story wouldn't carry more weight
than that of anybody else.
Later, the prosecutor, Edwin N.Y.
ers, thought he should correct an
obvious error. He said he believed
Mr.. Giesler had Hall confused with
Johnny Weissmuller, who actually
does play the Tarzan roles.
"Mebbe So" Mr.. Giesler admitted
II know Hall has sideburns that
come down to here" as he put his
finger on his jawbone. He look.
like Tarzan."

day and as court convened today

of Kansas City, Mo, was expected
to take the stand this afternoon.
