SAY IT WITH SONGS (1929). Vintage original 14 x 22 35 x 56 cm. Window card poster, USA. Al Jolson, Davey Lee, Marian Nixon, Holmes Herbert, dir: Lloyd Bacon; Warner Brothers Vitaphone. The Vitaphone logo is displayed for this early “All Talking, All Singing” vehicle for showman Al Jolson. Moving away from his minstrel show image, he played a happy-go-lucky radio singer who has a problem with gambling and drinking. This showing was for the Rialto Theatre of Fort Dodge, IA, which was built in the early-1920s and ran as a Central States Theatre until its closing in the mid-1970s. A few weeks after the Sep. 29 play date, Wall Street would crash, necessitating a need for more Jolson musicals. There is one mended tear, about 2 ½ in. And one vertical scratch, a little bit of soiling, VERY GOOD. It must come back in the same condition as it was sent. AUTHENTICATION: My name is Walter Reuben.
