Still from the American comedy short "Upper and Lower" (1922) with Lee Moran in blackface, on page 62 of the April 1922 "Film Fun". This is from an apparently lost film. It was common for American films to use white actors in blackface for black roles until the late 1930s, although in this film the use of blackface was the film's "comic" element were the Moran character violated then-societal racial norms as a white man disguised as a black man. Still caption: (after Moran is seen kissing a white woman after the train passes through a tunnel) The crowd of indignant lynchers in their effort to punish him make the make the astounding discovery that black is white.
