When the two Acadamy Nominated "Jolson Bios" were FINALLY released on DVD like so many I was disappointed with Columbia/Sony for not giving us any Extras or Outtakes, even Stills like Al & Julie at Races (Below) Now, however The Jolson Society has found one of the two songs that were cut, "A Cantor on The Sabbath" which Larry worked SO hard to perfect and fell so in love with the song that he would sing it in the shower for years after.
If you would like a copy (4 and 1/2 minutes long on DVD) you may get it for a $30 donation to the IAJS: c/o John Webster 754 Lincoln Ave. Lake Bluff. IL 60044.

Back in the 50s I saw Larry and Betty at the London Palladium, also again later at the Chiswick Empire, and waited to get Autographs. During the show lots of people would call out for him to sing 'Jolson' so when he signed my book i told him how i Loved his movies and he looked at me and said "And i guess you want me to sing 'Mammy?'" I said 'Not really, my favourite singer is Guy Mitchell, but i loved you in "The Swordsman", I love Costume movies!! (I really loved the way he wore those Tights but never said that!!) Anyway he half grinned at me and said ,"Cute". So i told all my friends he told me I was cute, but I really think he meant the other type of 'cute'. I Still enjoy seeing "The Swordsman", (and those tights). signed, a Larry fan. Dee H. u.k.
