What happens
For His Mother's Sake is a 1922 American silent film, starring heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson. It was a Blackburn-Velde Pictures production distributed by Fidelity Pictures Company. The film opened in January 1922 at the New Douglas Theater at Lexington Avenue and 142nd Street in Harlem. It is believed there was only one five reel print of the movie, due to the studio owners seizing the negative when the film's producers failed to pay their bills. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
