  • An elevator boy (Frankie Darro) and his detective brother solve mob-related murders.
    Mantan Moreland (September 3, 1902 - September 28, 1973) was an American actor and comedian most popular in the 1930s and 1940s.
    Monogram Pictures signed Moreland to appear opposite Frankie Darro in the studio's popular action pictures. Moreland, with his bulging eyes and cackling laugh, quickly became a favorite supporting player in Hollywood movies. He is perhaps best known for his role as chauffeur Birmingham Brown in Monogram's Charlie Chan series.[3] At the height of his career, Moreland received steady work from major film studios, as well as from independent producers who starred Moreland in low-budget, all-black-cast comedies. - wikipedia

    Mantan Moreland was my cousin. I was wondering if he had any children. My mother Mildred Elizabeth Moreland mentioned he was a Hollywood star, when we were growing up but we never met him. I wish I knew if he had children. I'd love to connect with someone. Does he have a STAR on HOLLYWOOD's walk of fame? He should!

      If it is true that he WAS your cousin, then he still IS your cousin. The answers to all your questions are very likely on the internet. Search and read.

    Mantan was the man in black comedy in the 40s, but he made some all black comedies during that time where he is WAY rawer and looser than he was in the Frankie Darro and Charlie Chan films, such as "Lucky Ghost" (1941), Two Gun Man from Harlem (1938, with Stymie Beard of the Little Rascals), and "Tall Tan & Terrific" (1946), which as far as I know are the only ones of this type that still exist. There are some others that I presume are lost, such as "Up Jumped the Devil," "Mantan for Mayor," "Professor Creeps," and "Mr. Washington Goes to Town." I hope someone finds this stuff.

    He was a wel-rounded actor...to kow-tow to the white race and act the buffoon in films took real acting and a very hard outer shell allowing, him to peservere in his craft, while depicting absolute comedic brilliance!!!

      Mantan Moreland is always great value. He makes us laugh out loud, with his fantastic comic timing and natural delivery of even the silliest lines - but we always laugh with him, never at him, and see him not as a buffoon but a really smart sidekick! I doubt these films would pass the P.C. test today.

At least they opened the door for blacks and other minorities to get a start in movies.
