She lived two lives — one as the respected wife of a famous publisher, the other as an infamous stripper known throughout the circuit as the lesbian. But she took love from men and women alike, regarding them only as sources of her perverted pleasure. Caught in a whirlpool of vice and sin, she sank into the depths of degradation.

I take it with a grain of salt. When it comes to super low-budget independent films of the 1920s, which were often shot in locales far away from the larger media hubs, and then distributed through the state rights system to low-tier, hole-in-the-wall theaters, the documentation is often nowhere to be found. No papers usually reviewed these films, and there was occasionally only the most minimum commercial exploitation produced for circulation. For example, it seems all but impossible to even find stills to the cheap silent westerns starring names like Cliff Lyons or Ruth Mix. Much less any surviving prints of the films. Producers of the 'all-colored' films are sometimes in this same boat.

That said, this is why I'd have certain doubts that the Dorothy Dunbar credited in this film is the same actress who appeared as leading lady in a string of silents, even though the AFI and IMDb listings have her as such. But, you never really know for sure. There was a minor black actress, Diane Sinclair, in the early-1930s, who passed for white, and appeared in a few minor b-films at Columbia and elsewhere.
