Capturing the spirit of the Jazz Age, this novel brings to life the dramatic and emotional journey of its protagonist, mirroring the film’s impact as a follow-up to The Jazz Singer. As an artifact of early Hollywood history, this book is a must-have for collectors of classic cinema memorabilia, early 20th-century fiction, and fans of Al Jolson’s groundbreaking contributions to entertainment.
Published by Grosset & Dunlap, a well-known publisher of movie tie-in novels, this edition preserves the legacy of one of the most influential films of its time, making it a treasured piece for vintage book collectors and film history enthusiasts alike.”
