circular from Norman Film Manufacturing Company, a Jacksonville-based, white independent film company active from 1921 to 1926 that specialized in outdoor adventure films for African American audiences, advertising the 1926 film The Flying Ace
The cover features a proud man in uniform, a diving airplane, and a parachuting man, and advertises thrills, action, and punch. Beneath the image is text advertising an ‘all star colored cast’ and six reels of love, thrills, and romance. A space is provided in which the theater might print its name, but the space is blank.
The inside of the herald reemphasizes the ‘all colored cast’ and promotes star Kathryn Boyd as a ‘female daredevil.’ The circular mentions that her co-star, Lawrence Criner, is one of the original Lafayette Players
