RARE VINTAGE ALL COLORED CAST 1923 REGENERATION AFRICAN AMERICAN SILENT MOVIE HERALD. MEASURES 4-1/2" X 7".Filmed in Jacksonville, FL in 1923 and starring the beautiful Stella Mayo, Richard E. Norman’s Regeneration was a touted as a “romance of the South Seas.” But censors found it a bit more scandalous than truly romantic.

Publicity materials described the film’s plot this way:

“A ne’er-do-well man, a beautiful girl, and her one-legged body-guard/family servant are the sole survivors – they think – of a ship wreck and make it to an uninhabited south-seas island. The influence of the girl brings about a reformation of the man in this version of Eden… until three sailors, also survivors, show up, and have designs on the girl. Then a pirates’ treasure chest is discovered buried on the beach, and matters become even more tense… and violent.”.. ALL ITEMS ON MY SITE ARE GUARANTEE TO BE 100% VINTAGE, AND NOT REPRODUCTIONS.
