"This image from the Schomburg Center, shows him with the cast of The Dark Town Follies of 1914-1915. This annual series appeared at Harlem's Lafayette Theater, although the 1914 edition had a short run, June 1914, at the Bijou, a theater district house that had most recently showed films. The New York Times described it as a "musical play" rather than a revue."Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).
