Note: A Plantation Act (1926) is an early Vitaphone sound-on-disc short film starring Al Jolson, the first film that Jolson starred in. Jolson in blackface sings three of his hit songs: "When the Red, Red Robin (Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along)", "April Showers", and "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody". Its premiere took place on October 7, 1926, at the Colony Theatre, New York, where it concluded a program of short subjects that accompanied Warner Brothers' second feature-length Vitaphone film The Better 'Ole. The "Intermission" card which appears at its end derives from that use.
