I "No," agreed AND HERE's HERE's another Jessel special: Lesser was a gambler who took a sharp trick once too often and was shot down. The funeral was a big affair, attended by hundreds of his erstwhile playmates—dice, poker, stud and pinochle friends. Dur- ing the eulogy a speaker in- - toned: "Lesser is not dead—he only sleeps." A coarse voice from the rear was heard—"I'll give a hundred at five-tcl-one he's dead." —0— GODHAR WAS very blue be- cause his motion picture theater wasn't doing very well.

Follows in Tradition of Men of Theater MOST OF THE prominent Jews in the theater world are known as talented racon- teurs in private life, gifted with that amazing and enviable abil- ity to amuse, instruct and sur- prise with a few words or an odd little story. George Jessel is an ideal ex- ample of this type of performer who can also give a good report of himself in parlor conversa- tion. He is the admitted compere of any toastmaster in the coun- try and a famous master of ceremonies at an untold number of functions. One of his best off-the-stage stories concerns a day on which he was rushing to the theater, so he says. Suddenly someone rushed up to the comedian and gave him a terrific wallop on the back, yelling in his ear, "Hell000, Mr. Smoolikov." The indignant Jessel turned round in pain. "I beg your pardon, sir," he said, "I am George Jessel—I am not Mr. Smoolikov." "You're not Smoolikov?" came the query. "No," answered Jesse), "And even if I were Smoolikov, is that any way to come up behind a man without warning and hit him a smash on the back?" "Are you telling me how I should act with Smoolikov," the intruder inquired. Page TbIrty-nine DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE GOLDHAR-ZIMMER MOTOR SALES, Inc.
