#al jolson

In the 1930s, "NRA" stood not for a gun lobby but for the National Recovery Administration. Established as a keystone project of President Roosevelt's New Deal, it was an attempt to bring industry, labor, and government together to create codes of "fair practices" and set prices. It only lasted until 1935, when the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional. Here, Al Jolson, left, and William Brandt, who led the film division of the NRA parade, are shown during a rally on September 13, 1933.

This is a scene from “Wonder Bar” (1934). It starred Al Jolson (upper left corner) as owner of a nightclub where anything can happen (illustrated T this scene of 2 men dancing together). When Jolson sees they dance he says, “Boys will be boys, woo!”
