Set in the silent film era, in Astoria, Queens, a film director is illegally renting a supply of radium to use in his production of "Toreador of Love". A disembodied hand emerges briefly from under Margot's bed, then vanishes. Later, the hand is found under the floorboards. Whose arm was it, and why was it put under the floor?
Collection
Part of Black History and Culture Evergreen Initiative
The Black History and Culture Evergreen Initiative is an effort to foreground African American and Black authored holdings in Princeton University Library, and to allow digital access to them around the world. The ongoing collection and digitization of materials supports teaching and research initiatives in reconstructing social, cultural, artistic, historic, economic, and political worlds that the dominant historical record has ignored, neglected or obscured.
