Norman, who was a white man, not only produced this film but also directed it even though he is not credited on the poster or IMDb. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that one of these cards has writing in the top border. Normally, this would surely be considered a defect, but because of what is written on the card ("AT PAHOKEE COLORED SCHOOL"), some might well consider it a cool addition to the card, because it shows how the U.S. was back in 1927, when black African American children had to attend separate "colored schools". Condition: fair to good. The cards have varying amounts of staining scattered in the images and some other border defects (see our images to tell exactly what condition each card is in).
