"The Crimson Skull," "at Lincoln Theatre Today, Don't Miss It," 1922

In the early 20th century, some independent film studios produced motion pictures for the African American market. Films made by these studios featured all-Black casts and provided actors with positive, non-stereotypical roles. Norman Studios, a white-owned company in Jacksonville, Florida, made several such films during the 1920s. This handbill advertises its 1922 production of the film The Crimson Skull.
