New York, Aug. 20.. Hollywood was shocked to-day by a tragedy with several strange features, involving the death of a noted actor, who was about to star in a film for the first time.

The victim of the affair was Mr. Jerry Jernigan and he was found dead with gunshot wound, through the head.

The extraordinary feature of the whole affair, although all tho evidence points to suicide, is that the shooting occurred during morry party celebrating Mr. Jernigan's forthcoming appear ance in a talking picture in 'a starring role.

It appears that he left the room whore the merry makers word being entertained and went to his bedroom.
