A Metro Gold wyn Mayer ALL-TALKING ALL-SINGING PRODUCTION DIRECTED by KING VIDOR Who Made "The BIG PARADE" 'Like little children that ain 't growed up' CLAP yo' hands! Slap yo' thigh! "Hallelujah" is here! "Hallelujah" the great! "Hallelujah" the first truly epic picture portraying the soul of the colored race. Destined to take its place in filmdom's Hall of Fame along with "The Big Parade," "The Broadway Melody" and "The Hollywood Revue." 5 King Vidor wrote and directed this stirring all -negro drama, this absorbing story of the colored boy, indirectly responsible for his young brother's death in a gaming house brawl, who becomes a negro revivalist; of his devotion to his ideals; and of his craving for a seductive "yaller girl." 5 The soul of the colored race is immortalized in "Hallelujah." Every phase of their picturesque lives — their fierce loves, their joyous, carefree pursuit of happiness, their hates and passions — finds dramatic expression against vivid backgrounds of cabarets, cotton fields, gaming houses, and humble shacks called home. 5 Daniel Haynes, noted Negro singer, plays the central character. Nina Mae McKinney, a beauty discovered in the night clubs of Harlem, has the leading feminine role. In addition, the celebrated Dixie Jubilee Singers and other noted performers sing the songs of the negro as they have never been sung before.
