In 1927, he appeared in a traveling revue, Keep Movin'.[3] He also performed in nightclubs, including the Dew Drop Inn, in New Orleans [5][4] He made commercials for Jax Beer, and took the starring role in several movies including Midnight Menace (also known as The Hidden Menace), Lucky Gamblers, and Chicago After Dark.[5][6] In Midnight Menace (1946), Jones plays a version of himself in a 24-minute all-black musical comedy film.[7] These and many similar films were made on a low budget by the All-American News company in Chicago, and were shown almost exclusively in African-American movie theaters.[8] Jones died in 1954, following a lengthy illness.[9] References1. ^1 Applications for Headstones for U.S. Military Veterans, 1925-1941.
