Description

The Singing Fool/ Say It with Songs Lot (Warner Brothers, 1927 and 1929). Title Lobby Card and Lobby Cards (2) (11" X 14").
Offered in this lot is a title card for The Singing Fool. And two lobby cards for Al Jolson's first full-length all-talkie picture, for which Warner Bros. paid him an amazing salary for 1929...$500,000! This film is also notable, in that this was his first where he did not sing a song in blackface. These two great scene cards have different hand colored borders and inset logos. One of the best cards in the set is in this lot, with Jolson singing one of his signature songs, "Back in Your Own Backyard." The other card is with Marion Nixon who plays his wife in the film, and the fine character actor, Frank Campeau-- it has only tackholes in the borders and image, with slight tears and faint rust stains, and light border smudges. The title card has been professionally restored to address tack holes, edge wear with one edge tear, and a diagonal crease. Fine+.
