I think you mean the first source no longer exists. The second seems okay at least for me. FloridaArmy (talk) 18:29, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
An extant 1915 film should be notable. Resubmitting. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Colored Villainy is a 1915 American film. It was produced by Mack Sennett.[1] It was directed by Nick Cogley. Charley Parrott portrays the villain. Actors appear in blackface. A late 20th century review describes the film as offensive and unfunny.[2] The Keystone film is extant and available online.[3]

The film features a farmer, his daughter, a suitor, and a traveler. There is beekeeping, pratfalls, and an attempted theft.
