Vitaphone release number 1179A.

Patzer
The zoom shot on the newspaper headline "FIRST ALL-TALKING PIC STARTS" (with the subhead '"ONLY A FAD," SAY EXPERTS') shows the text, 'Warner Brothers are starting the first all-talking picture with Al Jolson in the "Jazz Singer." The production being put on in an elaborate scale is said by some of those in the know to be only a passing fad.' This statement is incorrect as Der Jazzsänger (1927) was the first feature-length part-talkie film. As shown just after the newspaper fades out, Lights of New York (1928) is the first all talking picture.

A nice overview of sound movies.

This short was included with the DVD set for "The Jazz Singer"--with two of the three DVDs containing wonderful extras about early sound films. This 1943 short essentially covers most of the material that is covered more in depth and in a more interesting manner in "The Dawn of Sound: How Movies Learned to Talk"--a truly wonderful 85 minute film about the history of sound films. This short is only about 20 minutes and seems a bit rushed and superficial--but it does show a few really nice clips from the earliest sound films--more even than were in "The Dawn of Sound". My advice is that if you must see one film, see "The Dawn of Sound" but if you are a crazy film nut like me, see them both--they are both exceptionally interesting and important films.
