The African American cinema. II. The scar of shame (1926) and Sissle and Blake (1923)
New York : Unapix Consumer Products, c1995.
1 videocassette (80 min.) : sd., b&w ; 1/2 in. + 1 film guide ([4] p. : 18 cm.) VHS.
NOTES: The scar of shame (2nd work): rare silent film with new piano score added.
SUMMARY: Two early films of the African American cinema:
Sissle and Blake was a short filmed in Lee De Forest's New York studio with his sound-on-film process in 1923, four years before Hollywood began to experiment with sound. Pianist Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle perform their jazz composition "Affectionate Dan" and a jazzed-up spiritual.
Scar of shame: In no film was the racial theme more apparent than in this story about an ill-matched marriage between a black concert pianist and a poor, lower class black woman. Secretly ashamed of her, the young man keeps his wife hidden from his socially-prominent middle-class mother. Despite the melodrama, it is a strong statement on the issues of class and the color caste system which existed within the African-American community. This was the first film of the Colored Players Film Corp. of Philadelphia.
