		<description><![CDATA[Jolson's film, "The Singing Kid" (1936), showed the old-fashioned content of Jolson’s past while maintaining some of his modernist form and style. It included Cab Calloway performing some of his own songs, and the film wanted to both erase and celebrate boundaries and differences, including most emphatically the color line. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=jolsonville.com&amp;blog=3646457&amp;post=1140&amp;subd=aljolson&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
