#OnThisDay in 1927, "The Jazz Singer," directed by Alan Crosland and starring #AlJolson and May McAvoy, is released as the first film with a synchronized soundtrack (Honorary Academy Award 1929).
#OTD in 1927, The Jazz Singer, the first film w/ spoken dialogue, premiered. Still mostly silent, only about 300-350 words total, & a few songs. Some racist trash, but cinema went from silence to sound forever. youtu.be/2YVsXsgBx98?...

I don’t know what’s going on with his makeup. Especially his lips. This was taken at Elania’s rocket launch yesterday. Any second now, he could drop to one knee and start belting out “Mammy”. #AlJolson
