The Jazz Singer is a 1927 American part-talkie musical drama
film directed by Alan Crosland and produced by Warner Bros.
Pictures. It is the first feature-length motion picture with both synchronized recorded music and lip-synchronous singing
and speech (in several isolated sequences).
Its release heralded the commercial ascendance of sound
films and effectively marked the end of the silent film era
with the Vitaphone sound-on-disc system.

as The Tonight Show. Tonight was the first late-night talk show,
as well as the first late night television series of any kind to
achieve long-term success.
Allen’s run as host of the show lasted for two and a half seasons, beginning in fall 1954 and ending with Allen’s departure in January
1957.
The announcer of the show was Gene Rayburn, who would
eventually become a top-game show emcee.

THE WARREN COMMISSION HANDING OVER THEIR VOLUMINOUS REPORT ON THE ASSASSINATION
TO PRESIDENT JOHNSON (right).
On September 24, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson received
the Warren commission’s special report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which had occurred on November
22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.
Since the assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was killed by a man
named Jack Ruby almost immediately after murdering
Kennedy, Oswald’s motive for assassinating the president
remained unknown.
Seven days after the assassination, Johnson appointed the
President’s Commission on the Assassination of President
Kennedy to investigate Kennedy’s death.
The commission was led by Chief Justice Earl Warren and
became known as the Warren Commission. It concluded that
Oswald had acted alone and that the Secret Service had made
poor preparations for JFK’s visit to Dallas and had failed to
sufficiently protect him.
