Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Released 7 October 1926 (The Jazz Singer was released a year later October 1927). This film was a Vitaphone ‘sound-on-disk’ recording and starred Al Jolson singing.

Thought lost until the 1990s when a silent copy was found in the Library of Congress and a separate broken sound track was repaired & then synced with the film by LoC techs.

‘A Plantation Act’ premiered at the Colony Theatre, New York, 7 October 1926 as part of a repertoire of films.
