Rating: - Horray for Al Jolson!
The story of this film is mediocre. Al Fuller, one of the stars in a vaudeville act, is in love with his best friend's girl. However, his best friend treats the girl badly.

The supporting cast is not memorable enough to carry the show to its limit which makes it less engaging than it could be.
The songs in this films are not outstanding ... Read More

These films put a lot of the movie piano players out of a job. Based on the Broadway play "Mr Jones" by Irving Berlin. 1 hour ... Read More
