The following appeared in The Florida Metropolis, Jacksonville, April 10, 1916: “We [Tracey Hollingsworth, newspaper writer] have been questioned as to why we were parading around the city Saturday afternoon preceding by a small band, the members of which were of the darker color, and we beg to advise the inquisitive public that we were part of the Thanhouser Company, who were making a political picture, in which Riley Chamberlin was running for something and we were for him. Al Bucky, one of the perfectly good councilmen of this city, was also with us—he carried one end of the banner.”
