Description: Original US one sheet poster for the 1919 silent film, like all of the Norman Studio films, featuring an all-African American cast, and marketed to African American movie theaters. Norman Studios produced eight silent films between 1915 and 1928, one of over 30 film studios that operated in Jacksonville, Florida during this era. All but one of the Norman Studio films, including "The Green-Eyed Monster, " are now lost, with the sole exception being "The Flying Ace" (1926). The advent of sound, as well as the increasing centralization of filmmaking in Hollywood, led to the studio ceasing production after "Black Gold" in 1928. The studio's facilities in Jacksonville were restored and designated a National Historic Landmark in 2016.
