I believe Paul Robeson also starred in at least one movie from a book by
Edgar Wallace: _Sanders of the River_. He plays the African chieftain
with whom Sanders, the British Commissioner and hero, is associated.  I
remember the name of his character, but feel obliged, for reasons of
political correctness, not to repeat it.
