RAPHAELSON, Samson. The Jazz Singer. New York: Brentano's. 1925.
8vo. Original green cloth back orange paper-covered boards with orange dustwrapper; contains a loosely inserted advertisement slip and previous owner's name stamp; a little chipping to extremities of wrapper with closed tear to bottom of rear hinge, otherwise a very good copy.
First edition.
This play, based on the author's story "The Day of Atonement" which originally appeared in Everybody's Magazine in January 1922, was an enormous hit. It was the basis for the famous 1927 Al Jolson film, and for two further remakes: one in 1952, directed by Michael Curtiz, with Danny Thomas and Peggy Lee; and another in 1980, directed by Richard Fleischer, with Neil Diamond and Laurence Olivier.
