The Growth of the Movie Industry: Silence to Sound

The Jazz Singer (1927) featuring Al Jolson became the first feature-length film to include dialogue on the filmstrip and hence an end to the silent film industry. Walt Disney's Steamboat Willie introduced the world to Mickey Mouse. Silent film actors Charlie Chaplin and Rudolph Valentino were box office draws. Released in 1922 'Toll of the Sea' was the first color movie. Join us as we take a look at the rise of Hollywood in the 1920s.
