Free Films: Lime Kiln Club Field Day (1913) and The Natural Born Gambler (1916)

See the Vaudeville! exhibition with extended gallery hours every Thursday and then stay for free films on select days in May. Starring vaudeville sensation Bert Williams, these rare silent films are believed to be among the earliest to feature African American actors. Eric Colleary, the Ransom Center's Cline Curator of Theatre and Performing Arts, will introduce the films. Lime Kiln Club Field Day was preserved by The Museum of Modern Art with support from The Lillian Gish Trust for Film Preservation. (Combined runtime: 87 min)
