It is strange what the introduc tion of sound can do to the emotions of a movie fan when that sound is the heart-throb of a stirring human interest story. Tiffany-Stahl has performed a unique accomplishment in their lat est feature production, "Lucky Boy," starring George Jessel which will be j shown at the Parmele theatre Thurs , day, Friday and Saturday. They have combined a powerful photo-, play, one fraught with laughter, heart-ache, romance and adventure, with all the sounds that go along with these emotional experiences in real life. The sound eeauences follow ! straight through the picture. There is heard talking, sobbing, laughter, singing. George Jessel, whose great est gift is his wit and his ability to portray his emotions through his voice, loses none of the dramatic force that has made him famous on the speal-ing Ftage, for his jokes and , heart-throbbing songs are faithfully voiced. The picture is the story of an East Side boy who has melody and rhythm in his soul, but little else to distin guish him from hundreds of boys born Just Received A new line of Quick Meal Cook Stoves.

The sparkling dialogue and titles are of George Jessel's authorship and Rudolph Flothow supervised all dia logue and singing sequences.
