An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Hearts in Dixie, the 1929 Paul Sloane black African American family tragedy ("All colored cast"; from the story by Walter Weems; a series of slices of life of black life in America at this time, with "black" music playing in each section; the most memorable section is about a black man whose daughter is married to a man who sponges off of her, and who leaves her to both earn a living and take care of the two children; when the woman gets sick, her husband takes her to a voodoo doctor instead of a real one, and she passes away, and the grandfather decides to send his grandson "up north" for schooling, so that he won't turn out like his father) starring Stepin Fetchit, Clarence Muse, Eugene Jackson, Dorothy Morrison (sister of Ernest 'Sunshine Sammy' Morrison of Our Gang fame), A.C.H. Billbrew, and Mildred Washington. Note that the producer of this movie, Winfield R. Sheehan, originally planned this as a musical short, but he saw it had greater potential, and he sold it as a feature film to William Fox, and it was entirely re-cast, and it became the first black sound feature film! Note that movie paper of any kind from it is beyond rare! Finally, note that the IMDb has a plot summary of the movie that we believe contains substantial mistakes. They have Mildred Washington playing one of the children, but she was 24 years old at the time! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
