Draft:Darkest Americans

itself..??? That cite is off

Darkest Americans is a two-act show by the Tutt brothers who staged and starred in it in 1918 and 1919. The show depicts the performers as Howard University students searching the world for a missing anthropology professor from the school.

In one scene, Egyptian mummies emerge from their sarcophaguses and perform a dance. Luckey Roberts contributed to the show’s score.

Darkest America was a late 19th century musical show staged by Al G. Fields and Oliver Scott. In 1918, The Crisis billed itself as “A Record of the Darker Races”.

The show was to be succeeded the following season by the Tutt brothers’ show Children of the Sun.
