On the week of November 10-17, 1913, director Alexander Ivanovich Mizikin presented his Afro-American wife, Oriedo Galima (Emma Harris), the "Black Nightingale" for her debut at Kharkov's Mirror of Life Kino-Theater, located at 24 Moskalevskaya. To the sound of S.L. Dvorina's orchestra, she performed her exotic Algerian belly dances before performing a series of Russian romance songs.
On screen, in-between her performances, the comedy film "Long-Awaited Minute" (Долгожданная Минута), starring G. Weisse, was shown.
