(FILM.) NORMAN STUDIOS. Black Gold. Poster, 22x14 inches. With two pictorial promotional distributors brochures, folio's folded to form four pages each. All in exceptional condition. Jacksonville, FL, 1928
A fine, and typically lurid poster for Norman Studios' "Black Gold," a story about the oil fields of Oklahoma reprising the duo of Lawrence Criner and Katherine Boyd who had been a success in "Flying Ace" (1926). Norman Studios was one of the most prolific producers of all-black cast films for a number of years. The brochures carry advertisements for Bill Pickett's "Bull Dogger" and other important black-cast films. See John Kisch and Edward Mapp's "Separate Cinema" (Noonday Press, 1992).
