IAJS Video Descriptions International Al Jolson Society, Inc. Audio & Video Departments Since the founding of the Society, we have done our best to provide our members with the finest in Jolson materials. Audio material initially available on cassette tape is now available on CD, often in much better quality, and with material not previously available. When home videotape became available in the 1980s, efforts were begun to produce videotape copies of Al Jolson’s feature films. As technology has improved, and as more material has become available, we have been able to produce DVD issues of Al Jolson’s films, short subjects, and unique and varied other offerings. This catalog represents a compilation of what is currently available. More detailed information is available on the website. If there is an item that you seek that is not listed, please contact us directly. These materials may be ordered online on the IAJS website, https://www.jolson.org, with payment through a credit card. Online purchases do incur a surcharge to cover credit card and processing fees. You may also contact one of the Audio or Video Directors to order directly, without online fees.

    Student Matinee Series Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life Study Guide Created by Miller Grove High School Drama Class of Joyce Scott As part of the Alliance Theatre Institute for Educators and Teaching Artists’ Dramaturgy by Students Under the guidance of Teaching Artist Barry Stewart Mann Maurice Hines is Tappin’ Thru Life was produced at the Arena Theatre in Washington, DC, from Nov. 15 to Dec. 29, 2013 The Alliance Theatre Production runs from April 2 to May 4, 2014 The production will travel to Beverly Hills, California from May 9-24, 2014, and to the Cleveland Playhouse from May 30 to June 29, 2014. Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • Broadway and Tin Pan Alley Introductory Essay
    Broadway and Tin Pan Alley Introductory Essay “Way Down Upon the Hudson River: Tin Pan Alley's New York Triumph” Rachel Rubin, Professor of American Studies, University of Massachusetts Broadway in the 1920s was a showcase for the sweeping changes transforming American culture in the early 20th century, including new roles for women, the mixing of social classes in new settings like Prohibition-era speakeasies and creative innovation by African Americans in jazz clubs and music halls. Sons of immigrants from Europe -- including the Gershwins, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern and Harold Arlen -- made up a large percentage of the new word and music smiths writing for Tin Pan Alley and Broadway’s musical revues. Their syncopated rhythms borrowed from the jazz craze and their lyrics helped create a vibrant, witty new American argot. Tin Pan Alley and Broadway contributed such classic standards as “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” (Berlin), “I Got Rhythm” (Gershwin and Gershwin), “Ol’Man River,” (Kern and Hammerstein), “Stormy Weather” (Arlen and Koehler), “Ain’t Misbehavin’” (Razaf, Waller, Brooks), “Anything Goes” (Porter) and many more. These songs formed the musical backdrop of an era. The production of these songs also became big business. The first major book written about Tin Pan Alley was published in 1930 by Harvard professor Isaac Goldberg, and it was subtitled “A Chronicle of the American Popular Music Racket.” Goldberg’s humorous use of the word “racket” captured something about the origins of the name “Tin Pan Alley” given to the music composed by poorly-paid songwriters banging away in cubicles in downtown New York City on cheap pianos.
