Chesnutt. <SEP> <P2-S0> The Mystery of the Villa Rose( French: Le mystère de la villa rose) is a 1930 French mystery film directed by René Hervil and Louis Mercanton and starring Léon Mathot, Simone Vaudry and Louis Baron fils. <SEP> <P3-S0> He directed nearly 200 films between 1913 and 1957. <P3-S1> During the silent film era he directed as many as twenty films per year. <P3-S2> Maurice Elvey( 11 November 1887 – 28 August 1967) was the most prolific film director in British history. <P3-S3> He also produced more than fifty films- his own as well as films directed by others. <SEP> <P4-S0> Gertrude Sanborn( 1881–1928) was an American author who lived in Milwaukee. <P4-S1> She attained some notice for her novel" Veiled Aristocrats"( 1922), which dealt with race relations more directly than was fashionable at the time. <P4-S2> The novel belonged to the genre of" passing" stories, of African Americans passing for white, and featured an interracial romance set partly in Chicago. <P4-S3> The novel's title was borrowed in 1932 by pioneer African American filmmaker Oscar Micheaux for his talkie" Veiled Aristocrats", a remake of" House Behind the Cedars", his 1924 silent film based on the novel by that name by Charles Chesnutt. <P4-S4> Micheaux's" Veiled Aristocrats" also focused on" passing" and interracial relationships, but owed more to its source in Chesnutt than to Sanborn's novel. <P4-S5> In 1920 Sanborn published an optimistic riposte to Mary MacLane's 1917 memoir" I, Mary MacLane" under the title" I, Citizen of Eternity". <SEP> <P5-S0> Oscar Devereaux Micheaux( January 2, 1884 – March 25, 1951) was an African- American author, film director and independent producer of more than 44 films. <P5-S1> Although the short- lived Lincoln Motion Picture Company was the first movie company owned and controlled by black filmmakers, Micheaux is regarded as the first major African- American feature filmmaker, a prominent producer of race film, and has been described as" the most successful African- American filmmaker of the first half of the 20th century". <P5-S2> He produced both silent films and sound films when the industry changed to incorporate speaking actors.
