As I tell people, The Jazz Singer was the first successful talking picture. Read your history of the Vitaphone and you'll see there were scores of other musical and comedy films made prior to the Jazz Singer.

Very interesting. I'll read what you showed me. I'll also talk to my teacher about this. I have many questions about this subject. Are you a filmmaker? You teach at a university?

Thanks for your help. Let's talk more about the history of cinema. I learned a lot.

Is it possible???? The first synchronized film was "The Jazz Singer" in April 1927. You said this film, The Revelers 1927, it's a Month before the Jazz Singer. It's very important fact. How can be this? Thanks.
