The Crimson Skull, Norman Herald

A baffling Western mystery, six reels.

What

A yellow herald in black and red for The Crimson Skull, presented by the Norman Film Mfg. Co., held by the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Why

The museum's record transcribes the foot of the sheet: all-colored cast, six smashing reels.

Notice

Inside the capital C of Crimson hangs a skull with a spider dangling from it.
