The golden voice and clastic mouth of A1 Jolson offer a novel sort of entertainment, this week at the McDonald theater in “The Singing Fool.” The famous black face co median sways the audience from tears to laughter at regular inter vals and seems to almost step out of the silver screen onto the stage. He sings his famous song hits as never before and succeeds royally in bringing out the old reliable ban danas and tear troughs. Jolson is by far the best Vita phone actor ever brought to the local screen and can tell bed time stories or mimic grand opera with equal success. He completely over shadows all other members of the cast and skillfully covers up the weakness of the plot. “The Singing Fool” is especially recommended to co-eds who long for “a good cry” as “Al” can shed tear drops as well as any old maid.
