SAY IT WITH SONGS 1929 Al Jolson, Davey Lee, Marian Nixon TRADE ADVERT

Original U.S. 12 1/4 inch x 9 inch Trade Advertisement for the 1929 Lloyd Bacon early sound Musical SAY IT WITH SONGS, based on a story by Darryl Francis Zanuck & Harvey Gates and starring Al Jolson, Davey Lee, Marian Nixon, Holmes Herbert, Kenneth Thomson and John Bowers.

Say It With Songs reunited Al Jolson with the boy actor, Davey Lee, of The Singing Fool fame, who had enthralled audiences in 1928. This, Jolson's third feature film, contains several firsts in his movie career: His first full length talkie (unlike his previous two efforts which were Part-Talkies with long sections of an essential silent picture – with a synchronized score and sound effects added – in addition to talking and singing sequences); his first to not present him singing a song in black-face; and the first Al Jolson movie to flop at the box office. It was also one of the few films in his career in which his on-screen character isn't named Al, and the second and last to cast him as a married man.
