Which two songs did Al Jolson perform in The Jazz Singer?

• A. Dirty Hands, Dirty Face and Toot, Toot, Tootsie! (Goo' Bye)
• B. White Christmas and Moonlight Serenade
• C. Over the Rainbow and Stardust
• D. My Funny Valentine and Night and Day

Answer: (A)

Two songs Jolson performs in The Jazz Singer are Dirty Hands, Dirty Face and Toot, Toot, Tootsie! (Goo' Bye). In the film, his on‑stage roles showcase a vaudeville-style routine that pairs a playful, working‑class persona with a high‑spirited show tune. This combination—a humorous, relatable number followed by a lively, crowd‑pleasing hit—fits Jolson’s iconic performance style and the movie’s early sound‑film moments. The other options list songs that aren’t part of Jolson’s performances in this film, or are songs from later eras, so they don’t match what appears in The Jazz Singer.
