Bills at the Chief Theater in Lubbock, Texas appear to have combined burlesque and movies. O'Voutie O'Rooney starred Slim Gaillard and an "All Colored Cast." I notice that one of the dancers in the burlesque portion of the program was Asian. I guess that didn't mess with the color bar.

I find this ad confusing. It says "Kilroy was Here/All Colored Cast." Kilroy was Here appears to have been a mainstream picture starring Jackie Coogan and Jackie Cooper.

The B'Ham, Birmingham's "Largest and Best Negro Theater," was showing only mainstream movies on this bill. Note the emphases on "Cool! Always Cool!"

Louis Jordan, not the French guy, is one of my favorite musicians.
I couldn't find anything useful about race films in August 1923. That may be because many theaters shut down during the hottest months.
