Harry and Daniel are joined by special guest Richard Bernstein, author of Only in America, to explore the groundbreaking yet controversial 1927 film The Jazz Singer. As the first feature-length "talkie," The Jazz Singer revolutionized Hollywood, but its themes of assimilation, the American Dream, and generational conflict remain just as compelling today.The conversation delves into Al Jolson's electrifying performance, the film's cultural impact, and the complicated legacy of both the movie and its star—including the troubling use of blackface, which continues to spark debate.Plus, they trace The Jazz Singer's origins—from short story to stage play to cinematic milestone—and consider how it shaped portrayals of Jewish identity on screen. Tune in for a fascinating discussion about one of the most significant (and controversial) films in Jewish and Hollywood history.Buy Richard's book, Only in America - https://bookshop.org/p/books/only-in-america-al-jolson-and-the-jazz-singer-richard-bernstein/20143816The Jazz Singer on IMDb - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0018037/The Jazz Singer on YouTube - https://youtu.be/PMvn8Ws-l0cConnect with Jews on Film online:Jews on Film Merch - https://jews-on-film.printify.me/productsInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/jewsonfilm/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jewsonfilmpodYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@jewsonfilmTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jewsonfilmpod

Recently, my best friend, James, and I visited the Orpheum Theatre here in Wichita, a historic venue that's been entertaining audiences since 1922. Originally, it was a vaudeville stage graced by iconic performers like Al Jolson and Harry Houdini. They still have many great shows and events, but I'd heard over the years that it was quite haunted.  So, we sat down with the Executive Director, Stacee Olden, in the heart of the theatre and talked about the spirits of this grand old theatre just waiting for their next encore. We stayed for a ghost hunt that night and didn't experience anything paranormal, but it did seem like we weren't alone during our talk about the theatre. Today, on the Grave Talks, a conversation about the historic Wichita Orpheum Theatre with executive director Stacee Olden.
