Something Good—Negro Kiss shows off smartly dressed vaudeville performers Gertie Brown (1878–1934) and Saint Suttle (1870–1932) in what might be the earliest example of African American on-screen intimacy. Discovered in 2017 at the University of Southern California film archives and subsequently added to the National Film Registry, the film is purportedly a parody of an even shorter 1896 film called The Kiss, produced for Edison and featuring a white couple.
