Al Jolson’s Fight in Public
J OLSON, the film star and stage comedian, and Walter Winchell, a “columnist” on a New York newspaper, had a fight in the aisle of the Hollywood Arena recently, states an overseas message. Al Jolson, after the fight, told the British United Press that he hit Winchell because he sold a scenario based on Jolson’s romance with his (Jolson’s) wife, Miss Rqby Keeler, the film star. Winchell denied that there was any foundation for Jolson’s charge. Several thousand people, who had paid their money to watch a boxing programme, saw the affair. Before friends could separate the two men Winchell had received a lovely black eye.
