When The Jazz Singer was released in theaters, the future of Hollywood changed. For the first time in a feature film, an actor spoke on-screen, stunning audiences and leaving the silent era behind. Al Jolson was the history-making actor, playing the son of a Jewish cantor who must defy his rabbi father in order to pursue his dream of being in show business.
