Today in History
1927:
The Jazz Singer opened today in 1927. Although the film was not the first 'talkie' picture it was a major landmark and ushered in an era of synchronised sound. Directed by Alan Crosland and staring Al Jolson, the movie made profits of $3.5 million at the box-office.

Sarah Boyack MSP has lodged a parliamentary motion voicing concerns for the future of Edinburgh's King's Theatre. If there is no significant work on the building in the next two years, the theatre may be forced to close. Council chiefs say they cannot afford to pay for the refurbishment until 2010 at the earliest. Ms Boyack's motion calls on the council "to enter into funding negotiations with the Scottish Government and the Festival City Theatres Trust". Source: Edinburgh Evening News
