1. In this first image you see is the Paul Whiteman Orchestra! Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra was the most popular band of the 1920s. Their band was critiqued a lot and for a while judged because people came to believe that they were racists. They thought this because Paul didn't have black people in their band but Paul let black artists write some of his music.
2. Al made his first stage appearance 1899. He was featured in musicals and know for the high energy character 'Blackface'. He starred in The Jazz Singer, it was the first feature film with synchronized speech.
3. Okay so Chicago the musical wasn't popular in the 1920s but the time and setting was in the 1920s. I really felt the need to write about Chicago because it is my favorite musical of all time! i love it so much!
