Nina Mae McKinney sings "When The Dark Became Dawn" which is worth watching for. Jackie Ward is the star of this film, even though Nina gets top billing. Jackie Ward is no younger then 12 or 13, but a good actor and good singer. Nina Mae does some great acting, no stereotype, or dumb talking or acting stupid. The only way Blacks could and show their talent was in Independent Black Movies and be movie stars within their own race, but unknown to other races, and they deserved better.

All-black cast production with the wonderful Nina Mae McKinney as the key attraction. But with so many 'race films' of the time, it's filled with more intermission numbers than an actual plot. And the show aspect was fine. The story, the little there was, uninteresting. So take it as a variety spectacle with rare black acts present.
