Al Jolson's "Mammy" World preimiere....



Item # 578413

March 25, 1930

THE NEW YORK TIMES, March 25, 1930

* Al Jolson's "Mammy"
* World Premiere ad
* Blackface Minstrel


This 60 page newspaper has a nice 14 1/2 x 6 inch advertisement for the world premiere of Al Jolson's new movie "Mammy". See photos for this ad which is on page 35 and has three illustrations relating to his famous "blackface" appearance.

With this movie opening in New York City on March 26 (next day), this could be the very first ad for this movie in any newspaper.

Rest of the issue contains news, sports and advertisements of the day as well. Little margin wear and tear, otherwise good condition.
