Based on the Broadway singing and dancing life, it technically breaks through the limitation that "Jazz Singer" can only partially adopt dialogue and singing and dancing, and all adopts voiced dialogue and singing and dancing; it created the "backstage song and dance drama" commonly used in song and dance movies after the 1930s. Narrative paradigm: The film uses the song and dance show performed on the stage as the core of the narrative, and at the same time intersperses the love story in the background in parallel.

Eddie Kearns: Hank, did you see Queenie? What's the matter Hank, aren't ya happy? Wasn't Queenie great? Aren't ya proud of her?
Hank Mahoney: Oh, of course, Eddie. I'm glad to see her make good. Oh, but, gee, we ain't never had to get by on our legs before.
Eddie Kearns: Oh, that don't mean nothin', Hank. Those guys are not going to pay ten bucks to look at your face; this is Broadway!
Hank Mahoney: Yeah, "Broad's way!"
