| Notes: Director: William James Craft; The poster artwork used in the advertising campaign for this picture, judging by the Insert and Window Card, which are the only ones I have previously seen, is utilizing caricatures, not exactly flattering to African Americans. This Herald, however, goes even further. While the African American is shown in a different version, yet just as offensive, here Cohen is depicted in a style reminiscent of so many anti-Semitic examples prevalent at that time. |
