What is interesting about The Jazz Singer Movie and the Long Daybill
movie poster is that the poster in fact is *NOT from 1927* which is when
the movie was released in the USA, in fact the movie had its first
(advanced) screening in Sydney at The Lyceum Theatre on Friday 28
December 1928, more than TWELVE MONTHS after the USA release.
For those who have got this information wrong, feel free to adjust your
databases.
When The Lyceum Theatre was announced as the first picture theatre to
show the movie it was planned for a Boxing Day release but the
preparations necessary to show the movie as intended (with sound!) made
the alteration of the date inevitable. The official opening (after the
pre-screening) was Saturday 29 December 1929 and the run at the Lyceum
was astounding, still attracting audiences in May of 1929 thus delaying
the release of The Terror (1928) another talkie. Now, this wasn't a
continuous run for The Jazz Singer and The Lyceum Theatre, the annual
(and pre-booked) Methodist Conference closed the screenings of the film
between Feb 26 1929 and March 1 1929.
Another side note is that the movie opened in Adelaide at the 'New
Pavillion Theatre' on 13 May 1929 AS A SILENT MOVIE...those of us in
Australia know that technology takes time to get through to (the state
of) South Australia, I believe colour TV was launched down there in the
last 2 years...

Glad to see a very good result for the Chelsea Girls Double Crown.
Especially praiseworthy having been achieved with an accurate, honest
description.
