Long. Some Negroes in the state op | en!y disliked Senator Long, but the larv"' majority regard him as a bene factor. Why? Readers in the liberal east and west might reasonably ask the question. A visit to any of the small i or large centers of Louisiana would supply the answer. Two weeks ago I visited several ! towns where old and young persons quizzed me about the voting situa tion in their cities. They wanted to know if colored citizens of other cen ters planned to go to the polls as they hoped to do. They furtively re trieved their poll tax receipts from places of concealipent with happy smiles and I could with the cynical eyes of a newspaperman observe that these people cherished the receipts and Long who made it possible for them to have. That was the setting of the stage two weeks ago, but now it’s different. The donor of these receipts is no more His body lies in a grave, stilled by an assassin’s bullet The setting of the stage is changed and those people see no role to be played by them in it, for the Senator Long directed the stage in the first described act. It is r. question that time alone can an swer whether any of the director’s heirs inherited his fairness toward this group. The fact that he came from a cen ter where the worst of race hatred is supposed to prevail and possessed all of the fairness that is said to be long to the Latins of South Louisi ana fascinated the Negro. Long nev er in all of his stormy political car eer made the Negro an issue . . . The voice of the Negro was raised against him on several occasions, when he referred to them as “niggers”, but he like Will Rogers, good-naturedly ask- j cd their pardon. This is more than any other politician would do, his boosters would say. The “learned class” resented this act, but their numbers were small. The dead senator was associated with Negroes in his early boyhood and mentioned his pleasant days with them in his autobiography. All of the race were not for Long. There were those who asumed an imaginary role in the state’s affairs and from what they had heard and learned of democracy, deplored his methods of conversation. Long op posed the anti-lynch bill, they said. In his legislative maneuvers he made no special effort to aid the Negro. He had a much larger number of ardent supporters in our ranks, how ever. They were well fortified with material to defend the “Kingfish”. Zt required more votes than Long’s to defeat the anti-lynch bill, they would say. Long enacted no legis lation directly in the Negro’s favor, but neither did he direct any against him. When a “Long” bill was passed for the common good of the poor man. the Negro faced no maneuver ing to exclude him from receiving the benefits of the bill- He campaign ed against Dudley Leblanc, “Latin”’ gubernatorial candidate against Gov ernor Allen. Leblanc ran on this plat form, “The white mar. shall always have the first chance at any job in the state.” I o reinforce this respect former Congressman DePriest okayed Long and assured the race that they were sure to receive some bnefits from Long’s legislative acts. Wouldn’t the Negro get his great est political chanee since the carpet bag days in the coming election. It was and is a criminal act to these people to oppose Long. They see no good in their poll tax receipts now. Had the “Kingfish” lived, ample pro tection at the polls was assured all> but will his successors do this? Long’s enemies were prepared to make the Negro an issue in the comb ing election and it will take a “Long type” of person to stand his ground in face of this unfair attack. It would have meant little to the dead solon for he had recently warned the en tire Democratic party that they would need more than the Negro issue to win the south next year. What did he mean by this? The anti-Long Ne gro may also ponder the question. Did Long’s assailant approve of his plans to give the Negro the ballot? In view of the fact that several Negroes were beaten at the polls in Oppelousas, one may conjecture that some couldn’t stand to see Ethiopia’s children vote and sent Long to his Maker. Those readers who enjoy freedom of the polls can discern from this cause of the sadness among Louisi ana Negroes. They saw in this “Dic tator” a gleam of hope and were will ing to smile at the minor, jocular in sults he poked at them. They were satisfied with the aids granted from unbiased legislation, enacted by the boy who found his way from a log | cabin to the Senate. TOPICAL TYPES IN FILMLAND By Fay M. Jackson (For AXP) Demand For Set “Types” Bane of Negro Film Producers; Do Not Look Beyond Custom Decried Roles Hollywood, Sept. 21.—They’ve declared war on the dreadfuj bugaboo of the Hollywood actine fraternity. To the non-theatrical mind it woudn’t s e e m a bugaboo at all. It’s only a word. The word is ‘typing.” But to the actors of the screen colony that one little word is a horrid curse, for it means that a villian ma ynever be a hero and a hero never a villian. And since every villain hopes some day to attain heroism and each hero dreams of the day when he may play a villainous role, “typing” is an awful thing. In the singular lexicon of t h e screen, it means the acceptance by producers and public of a cer tain artist in roles of a single type, and no others—This is a splendid circumstance while the actor is riding the crest of the wave in roles of that particular t.vPe» but it becomes disastrous when the wheels of popularity turn from pictures of that kind. In such an event the victim of “typing’ is apt to find himself adrift on a treacherous river without a paddle. ’ Uncle” and ‘ Mammy” That, in a word, i sthe position of the eNgro actor in Hollywood motion pictures. Battle-scarred Clarence Muse knows the dangers of “typing” even better than his younger •i “ co-players and makes attempts to avoid the pitfalls with the wariness of a veteran. Starting as Uncle Tom in “Hearts in Dixie.” Muse has achieved as much versatility in hLs screen portrayals as h i.s physique will allow Stepin Feehit will always re main the shiftless, inarticulate lazy bones not because he lacks energy but chiefly because Step has really the Step you see on the screen. He is typed for life. Add, of course, the insatiable desire of a white public for just the Ne gro character Feehit portrays and you come nearer the answer than Mr. Perry’s disdain for speedy diction. There are no textbooks on typing, ’ no rit there any broad signboard that marks the danger ous trail. Prchibit Versatility Etta Moten resorted to the trial and error method during her brief sojourn in einematters. A mere suggestion to the produc er of “Flying Down To Rio’’ got her the part of a South American entertainer when the script called fo ra “Hot Mama” of the Beale street tvpe. Everybody remembers her ver sion o f“ Forgotten Man” which was the birth o fa new Negro woman element in pictures. Either mammies or ‘bad gals' w~ere the fare when Moten symbolized the younger matron whose troubles are much the same regardless of race or creed. By degrees Theresa Harris was able to prove that she could play dramatic roles and, in a series of major productions, prepared the way for “Imitation.’’ Beavers Surmount Louise Beavers, who is young er than anybody believes, (she’s still in her twenties) trod dang erous ground when she accepted ‘Delilah. ’ But the tremendous success with which the picture met during its showing, relieves the star of any limitations she might have imposed upon her self by playing mammy roles when she still has years of great accomplishment and studio activ it vahead of her. Beavers is first,' last and always a comic, though the scren has yet to discover her as such Blossoming out as a versatile young woman wit han adeptness ta cpmedy. romance and villainy is Nina Mae McKinney. In her screen career she combines them all. It might be pointed out that. instead of being classified as actors, Negroes are, for the most part typed according to color, age, size and disfigurement, modes of speech, etc. Few are accepted for screen roles, as such. One cannot expect producers t o deliberately avoid placing their Negro players in potential jeopardy of being typed, for reasons well known to all of us. Caution and astuteness of the players themselves, such as we have seen displayed in mild de grees by a few colored players will erase the ugly word from Negro stardom. Samuel Goldwyn received a letter this week which baffled him- Written by a youthful col ored boy, it asked. “Please tell me, sir, when your picture starring Joe Louis, the fighter, will be shown in De troit.” Director Sidney Franklin finally pointe dout that the sports writers have labeled the new heavyweight menace “The Dark Angel” and one l'ittle col ored boy got the thing a little mixed up apparently, thinking of the film starring Freddie March, Merle Oberon, and ’Bart Marshall. A flash from Warner Brothers states that Paul Robeson will be cast in the role of “De Lawd” in film version of Mare Donnelley’s celebrated stage play, Green Pastures.’’ The author will direct and adapt the screen version of the play. Production is sched uled to start October 1. Etta Moten is mentioned as a possible performer in the role of Jezebel. • '* * * ; So—neither A1 Jolson nor Mickey Mouse got the coveted role—but your topical typist^ thanks the twenty million read ers who protested (?) A1 Jol son ’s cast in the role of De Lawd. We’ll find something else for Al. George Melford, directing ‘‘East of Java’ ’starring Charles Bickford, at Universal City this week, rearranged his schedule so that Clarence Muse, noted Negro singer, song writer and actor, having an important role in the production, appeared with Louise Beavers and others at the Nation al Negro Achievement Day at the Exposition at San Diego. EDITOR’S NOTE: Moving picture news has a definite value, not alone the type in which we naturally are inclined, that which features colored players, but also news written from the viewpoint of the colored theater goer which describes pictures generally. Fay Jackson, our Hollywood correspondent, has been accorded recognition by every major stu dio during the past few weeks. Hue to arrangementvS made by AXP from this time on she will have entree of a character no other colored correspondent has ever enjoyed. We suggest that every publish er think in terms of featuring this general movie news and using it as a fulcrum to acquire more moving picture theater ad vertising copy. We believe this to be a possibility. Our readers can be trained to gather their impressions of future pictures to be shown from our own papers rather than the dailies if we fol io wthrough effectively.
