Fair use rationale for Image:Jolson Story dvd.jpg
[edit]
Image:Jolson Story dvd.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Plot accuracy
[edit]You say There is no evidence that Jolson ever appeared as a child singer.
- I believe that he and his brother sang for troops returning from the Spanish-American War of 1898. Valetude (talk) 10:42, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
According to Bob Thomas' KING COHNbook,"Sonny Boy" was recorded for THE JOLSON STORY,but Harry Cohn personally ordered it cut as too sad for the generally happy tone of the film."Sonny Boy" turned up as a key plot element in JOLSON SINGS AGAIN(1949) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.23.5.11 (talk) 17:17, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Great info on TCM
[edit]I don't have time to do it right now, but there is a wealth of information and anecdotes on TCM's article about the film.Merry medievalist (talk) 00:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
