Release Info:

Release Date: June 22, 1921 (USA) | Length: 4 min | Genre: Drama | Certificate: NR | Note(s): The film is silent, there are no character names to go with the cast list and for most this is their only film so I wasn't able to identify people. The IMDB cast list differs from the one on Wikipedia, I checked it against the one in the book "African American Films Through 1959 : A Comprehensive, Illustrated Filmography" and that one matches IMDB. I am including the additional Wikipedia names for reference.
