It is seldom that he enjoys even keel. One day he may be in the : clouds and the next in the depths of despair. For instance there was < that occasion when Al's Hollywood career hung by a thread. His con- tracts were not working out to his' - satisfaction, and the critics were singing his swan song for him. | 1 happened to sit next to Al at a cabaret about that time, and when, at the m.c’s bidding, he leaped to the stage to say a few words, he bitterly referred to himself ds Al Keeler. As usual, however, a new day brought Jolson around to his old self. The critics were premature in bowing him out, and his pros- pects have never been rosier. Mon- ey—and this is a verity—has noth- ing to do with Jolson's ambitions. He has all the money he will ever Miss Sarah Churchill need. dau; As for Ruby Keeler, who is a star of and Mrs. Jolson in private lifé. . . . ‘men, is reported to be on thg ul‘fi she acts off screen just as she does m"“}ii‘glil‘}e’:e{‘fié;’;:::;e 50;19_ on.

And the songs they choose are not the Cole Por- ed love in the sophisticated accents | of a Park Avenue debutante, but such homely favorites as “Bury Me Beneath the Willow,” “Beautiful Ohio,” “Put On Your Old Gray Perhaps the only urban touch in | these proceedings is the presence of Broadways Milton Berle who func- tions as a master of ceremonies.
