Two Knights of Vaudeville is a 1915 American short comedy film
with an African American cast, produced by the Historical Feature Film
Company and distributed by the Ebony Film Corporation. The film stars
Jimmy Marshall, Frank Montgomery, and Florence McClain as vaudeville
performers who try their hands at a comedy stage show, only to be
heckled by the audience. The film is notable as one of the earliest
surviving films with an all-Black cast, preserving aspects of Black
vaudeville performance that would otherwise be lost to time. The
director is unknown. As a 1915 work, the film is in the public domain.
