TY - GEN T1 - Hollywood's African American films : the transition to sound A1 - Friedman, Ryan Jay LA - English PP - Piscataway PB - Rutgers University Press YR - 2011 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocn775872924 AB - In 1929 and 1930, during the Hollywood studios' conversion to synchronized-sound film production, white-controlled trade magazines and African American newspapers celebrated a "vogue" for "Negro films." "Hollywood's African American Films" argues that the movie business turned to black musical performance to both resolve technological and aesthetic problems introduced by the medium of "talking pictures" and, at the same time, to appeal to the white "Broadway" audience that patronized their most lucrative first-run theaters.
