Special guest Mark Cantor will be presenting "
" on Saturday, September 3rd at 11:00 AM at the Hollywood Heritage Museum. This is one of two alternative programs at The Barn during Cinecon!
The 1940s saw a brief if audacious experiment in mass entertainment: a jukebox with a screen. Patrons would insert a dime, then listen to and watch a three-minute musical short. Our special program explores this long-forgotten niche in entertainment and cultural history with a variety of both Soundies as well as the products of its many competitors. Among the films that will be shared in this program are several rarities, some one-of-a-kind. Join us for 90 minutes of entertainment and delight in the music of such artists as Nat “King” Cole, Duke Ellington, Merle Travis, Louis Jordan, Henny Youngman, Kay Starr, and many more. Hosted by jazz-on-film expert Mark Cantor, whose forthcoming essay The Soundies will undoubtedly be the definitive reference book on this subject when it is released this fall.
Tickets $10.00 each: Available at the door.
This engaging write-up perfectly introduces the unique Soundies phenomenon, a forgotten coin-operated visual jukebox format that captured decades of beloved musical talent. Hosting Mark Cantor and showcasing ultra-rare vintage shorts makes this Cinecon program an unmissable treat for classic film and jazz fans. It is fantastic to see lesser-known media history preserved and presented to new audiences. I look forward to future recaps covering standout moments from this special screening event. --glow up
