Remake of Micheaux's 1924 Silent Film. The movie tells the story of a White man who took an interest in a young colored youth, took him into his home and tried to give him every advantage that a white boy would have. As the story takes place in a small Southern town, quite a bit of talk was caused. Then the boy wanted to marry Ethel Moses, and the white man tried to stop it" — review in the Philadelphia Afro-American, 3/11/39

Release Info:
Release Date: March 11, 1939 (USA) | Length: 10 reels/74 min | Genre: Drama | MPAA Rating: NR | Note(s): IMDB and Wikipedia have the films release date as 1938. I based my date on a review I found in the Philadelphia Afro-American, written when the film premiered there. Remake of Oscar Micheaux's 1924 silent film of the same name. I'm starting to think that Hazel Lisz is Hazel Diaz.
