Neat find today- Vitaphone record Sonny Boy

Post by miker2001 »

This came with a machine I got today. I have seen pictures of the backs of records like these. It is a Victor record made to play in sync with a movie trailer. It is marked in the wax, trailer "Sonny Boy" (old Davey Lee) title. I thought it was pretty neat. It is 12 inches in diameter. Someone marked with red crayon that it starts on the inside.

I found this on the web: •Davey Lee, who played "Sonny Boy" in Al Jolson's THE SINGING FOOL ('28) died on June 17, 2009 at the age of 83. The immense popularity of the Jolson feature led to his starring in SONNY BOY ('29) and he was reunited with Jolson the same year in SAY IT WITH SONGS. He subsequently appeared in the WB features FROZEN RIVER ('29), SKIN DEEP ('29) and THE SQUEAKER ('30) before retiring from the screen at the age of 6
