These are beautiful and colorful reproductions of the original late-1930's posters which adorned the lobbies of countless movie theaters in America. The imposing presence of the great Herb Jeffries (Herbert Jeffrey) provided a positive role model for kids who previously had no screen hero to emulate who looked like them. "Bob Blake" (The Bronze Buckaroo), America's first and only Black singing cowboy, blazed a trail of musical glory through the Old West in these cinematic classics.

(a) "Harlem On The Prairie" (1937)

No prints or negatives are known to exist of this, the first of Mr. Jeffries' movies. Prior to this film, actors of color were cast only as subservient characters. Herb Jeffries made history here.
