“Rose of Washington Square ”
Cinema . .. Snapshots
In ail theatrical history, no name has loomed brighter or more enduring than A 1 J olson's, and in all hie amazing career as the “King of Entertainers’* he has never had a vehicle of such tremendous appeal as ‘Hose of Washington Square.” Lured back to the screen by Darryl Zanuck, Jolson in the role of Ted Cotter literally plays himself and recreates the triumphs he enjoyed from the time he llrst burst into world fame. The star who wrote the first great chapters of talking picture history with “The Jazz Singer” and “The Singing Fool" and other early hits, and by sheer ability and personality, became the world's foremost introducer of song hits which have never lost their popularity, brings back his earlier success of the 'New York Winter Garden days. In the dramatic plot weaving through the cavalcade of melody, Jolson portrays Alice Faye’s devoted admirer who loves her enough to give her up to his rival, Tyrone Power.
