--> 01:14:41,824 what I understand, is that I'm going to be the one who says, 1646 01:14:41,891 --> 01:14:48,291 "I am a black lesbian filmmaker who's just beginning." 1647 01:14:48,467 --> 01:14:49,733 But I'm going to say it a lot more 1648 01:14:49,757 --> 01:14:52,624 and have a lot more work to do. 1649 01:14:52,691 --> 01:14:56,191 Anyway, what you all have been waiting for. 1650 01:14:56,258 --> 01:15:00,427 The biography of the Watermelon Woman, Fae Richards, 1651 01:15:00,490 --> 01:15:02,490 Faith Richardson. 1652 01:15:16,420 --> 01:15:18,824 The first record of Fae that I could find was this photo. 1653 01:15:18,891 --> 01:15:21,624 Faith Richardson, winner of the Beachy Beachum bicarbonate 1654 01:15:21,691 --> 01:15:25,657 jingle contest, Philadelphia, 1922. 1655 01:15:25,724 --> 01:15:27,700 I know that she worked as a maid for several years and I know 1656 01:15:27,724 --> 01:15:30,557 that she danced in the chorus on South Street. 1657 01:15:30,624 --> 01:15:33,291 But I'm not sure how she got into her first film. 1658 01:15:34,027 --> 01:15:35,834 She must have met Martha Page at some club or something. 1659 01:15:35,858 --> 01:15:38,591 This one is stamped "Newark Studios" and on the back 1660 01:15:38,657 --> 01:15:41,524 it says, "The Watermelon Woman and Sandra Vincent 1661 01:15:41,591 --> 01:15:44,557 "in 'Jersey Girl, ' 1931." 1662 01:15:44,624 --> 01:15:46,624 I think this is Fae's first film with Page. 1663 01:15:46,691 --> 01:15:48,500 In fact, I know it is. 1664 01:15:48,583 --> 01:15:49,967 And from what I can tell, this is the beginning of their 1665 01:15:49,991 --> 01:15:52,657 relationship both on and off the screen. 1666 01:16:01,991 --> 01:16:07,291 Newark Studio's biggest hit was the 1933 film "Louisiana Lady". 1667 01:16:08,027 --> 01:16:10,336 Martha scored with this one and got her ticket to Hollywood. 1668 01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:11,691 Fae scored too. 1669 01:16:11,757 --> 01:16:14,591 She was signed with Silver Star Studio and played in several 1670 01:16:14,657 --> 01:16:17,490 of their movies, usually as a household maid or cook. 1671 01:16:28,691 --> 01:16:31,657 "Mr. Owen Meets His Match" with Claude Thornton 1672 01:16:31,724 --> 01:16:34,924 and the Watermelon Woman, 1937. 1673 01:16:34,991 --> 01:16:36,858 This was big year for Fae. 1674 01:16:36,924 --> 01:16:39,691 In 1937, she also starred in my all-time 1675 01:16:39,757 --> 01:16:42,377 favorite, "Plantation Memories". 1676 01:16:42,440 --> 01:16:45,724 This one's titled "Elsie calls on the Lord." 1677 01:16:52,158 --> 01:16:53,724 I wrote to the studio 1678 01:16:53,791 --> 01:16:58,325 and got these glamorous photos of Fae taken in 1938. 1679 01:16:59,027 --> 01:17:00,633 It looks like she was trying to bust out of the mammy roles, 1680 01:17:00,657 --> 01:17:04,325 but of course, in 1938, that couldn't really work. 1681 01:17:04,388 --> 01:17:05,824 Oh, don't cry, Missy. 1682 01:17:05,891 --> 01:17:08,591 Master Charles is coming back, for sure. 1683 01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:10,457 I know he is. 1684 01:17:10,524 --> 01:17:11,924 Do you really think so, Elsie? 1685 01:17:17,991 --> 01:17:20,691 1939's a big year for Fae. 1686 01:17:20,757 --> 01:17:22,533 I don't know what happened between her and Martha, 1687 01:17:22,557 --> 01:17:24,958 but she definitely moved back to Philly. 1688 01:17:25,023 --> 01:17:26,899 She really worked hard at becoming the film star 1689 01:17:26,923 --> 01:17:28,955 she wanted to be. 1690 01:17:29,017 --> 01:17:31,325 Fae no longer calls herself the Watermelon Woman. 1691 01:17:32,017 --> 01:17:33,266 In all of her films at Liberty Studios, 1692 01:17:33,290 --> 01:17:35,457 she goes by the name Fae Richards. 1693 01:17:59,757 --> 01:18:01,991 I am going to hell, but not for being a tramp, 1694 01:18:02,058 --> 01:18:03,499 but for being poor and living on the streets 1695 01:18:03,523 --> 01:18:04,923 like I've had to do. 1696 01:18:04,991 --> 01:18:07,724 Why can't I be happy fitting into their world? 1697 01:18:07,790 --> 01:18:10,656 God made me this color and He did it for a reason. 1698 01:18:21,891 --> 01:18:24,325 Fae worked it at Liberty Studios. 1699 01:18:25,017 --> 01:18:26,600 J. Liberty cast her as a lead in all kinds of 1700 01:18:26,624 --> 01:18:29,490 black cast films: comedies, melodramas 1701 01:18:29,557 --> 01:18:31,490 and even gangster pictures. 1702 01:18:31,557 --> 01:18:33,891 The problem is, she never got her chance to be a big star 1703 01:18:33,958 --> 01:18:36,891 because black cast films were on their way out. 1704 01:18:43,557 --> 01:18:47,394 So, in the '40s, Fae started singing again all over Philly... 1705 01:18:47,457 --> 01:18:49,958 at the Standard, at the Dunbar, Peps. 1706 01:18:50,023 --> 01:18:51,656 She had quite a following. 1707 01:19:00,017 --> 01:19:02,325 The next picture I have of her is not until 1957, 1708 01:19:03,017 --> 01:19:03,923 and it's kind of sad to see what happened to her 1709 01:19:03,991 --> 01:19:06,891 because it looks like she stopped performing. 1710 01:19:06,958 --> 01:19:10,891 But it's also kind of good, 'cause she met June Walker, a special friend, 1711 01:19:10,958 --> 01:19:12,958 who took care of her until the day she died. 1712 01:20:21,325 --> 01:20:23,591 ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪ 1713 01:20:45,291 --> 01:20:49,624 ♪ Oh, don't you know it's just another day ♪ 1714 01:20:49,691 -->
