The long, tear-jerking ballad was particularly well-suited to the "song-play" format. Come the nickelodeon era, illustrated songs got shorter and were used as filler during reel changes. Al Jolson and Fannie Brice were illustrated singers early in their careers.

My Brain is a Card Catalogue:
Watching #TravelingSaleslady the bar scene(left)triggered my brain to pop a card in the catalogue & I knew instantly I’d seen that bar before.
Go Into Your Dance 1935 (right)
These are screen grabs.
I had to search for the Jolson scene.
My job is done!

This is great, although unfortunate that just as I was mulling over how the first 100 years of cinema was a pretty much white affair, blacked-up Al Jolson appears and sings “Mammy”.

Ok this is obviously beyond cringe, he's so dark and shiny he looks like one of Madonna's costumes from the 90s. But listening from the kitchen it hit me he could be making fun of parodies of Black American performances. Was he imitating Al Jolson? Any chance of mocking? #ThereGoesMyHeart #TCMParty

Funny no one here actually considered that maybe it was truly offensive to Black folks bc you were entertained.
Like Al Jolson and Jim Crow.
