Oscar Micheaux was a pioneer in producing what were known as race films. 100 years ago this month, one of his films was playing in a High School Auditorium in Springfield, Ohio. "Produced by Micheaux Film Co. of Chicago, largest colored film company in America."

A ladies' group complained that white children, including girls, had been seen going into a theater that catered to African-Americans. Excuse while I clutch my pearls.

I have mentioned before that I greatly admire John Harris, owner and manager of the Grand Central Theater in Dallas, who had a policy of showing race films.
The Dungeon was an Oscar Micheaux production. I cannot find anything about
Are You Fit to Marry? It sounds like an exploitation film.
