| Visitor Comments: I just watched "The Great Ziegfeld" last night. I adore the great setup of "A Pretty Girl is like a Melody. It is only recently that I found out that it was lip-synced by Allan Jones. Beautiful ! |

Visitor Comments: I played Alan Jones' daughter Kim in his 1936 "Show Boat." It was certainly a treat hugging him and listening to him sing our special version of "Make Believe" to me.I was just nine years old. Tomorrow I will be introducing the film "Show Boat" at the Motion Picture Academy's showing of the film at the Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard. In preparation for that, I looked up material on Alan Jones and discovered this website. He certainly deserves a fine tribute!

Visitor Comments: This is a great site. I am a bit of an Allan Jones novice, I have only seen two of his movies so far ("Show Boat" and "One Night in the Tropics"). But, I have enjoyed watching him every minute of those movies. I am especially interested in any Jerome Kern music he may have done. But, I am going to do my best to find and watch as many of Allan's movies as I can track down. Thanks for the treasure trove of information on this talented, talented man.

| Visitor Comments: I always enjoyed "A Night at the Opera"-especially the singing. Although Mr. Jones was well before my time, I appreciate his fine tenor voice. I just bought a CD of his songs--based on what I learned from this website!
Thanks. |

| Visitor Comments: I just saw (on Turner Classic Movies)Allan Jones singing the most beautiful song to his aging horse in the 1937 short honoring the memory of Will Rogers. It's a lullaby and a remembrance of faithful service. It's so gorgeous! They don't tell us the name of the song - I guess everyone at the time would have known. What a beautiful voice! |

| Visitor Comments: When i first saw Allan Jones in the Universal Film, One Night In The Tropics, made in 1940, (in 2007, one year before my mom's death),i was truly amazed at how can a man have such an elegant voice, be so talented and handsome all at the same time ! i think also that Universal made an extremely wise choice when they chose Nancy Kelly to co-star with him. I am truly telling you, that Hollywood simply cannot make such nice, (and elegant) films like that anymore. i pray that Universal comes up with a nice 100-year celebration (in 2013) ! Love and best wishes. |

| Visitor Comments: My grandfather (Joseph Franklin Jones, born Phila., PA) always claimed that Allen Jones was his first cousin. My father who had a great singing voice but never pursued a musical career resembles Allen Jones in pictures I have seen. My family is trying to trace its roots. Anyone have any info? Thanks. |

| Visitor Comments: Such a wonderful voice. I have a very worn out video of the 1936 Showboat which still gives me great joy when I play it- such a pity that this has never been released on DVD. Allan's on screen chemistry with Irene Dunne is absolute magic! |
