Perley for Commissioner Club HOLLYWOOD AND BLACK COLD (By Andy Razaf for ANP) Though the producers of colored moving-pictures have made great progress and are to be commended for their vision and pioneer spirit they should, at the same time, be cautioned and forever reminded of theiv short-comings and the pit falls that surround them. T© begin with, they must not b i allowed to copy the mistakes and biases of white Hollywood by degrading, belittling and slurring colored people or insulting their intelligance. Their difficulty i« to make the Negro colored-picture conscious, and this can only be achieved by portraying stories that he will believe, depicting Negro life as he knows it, sees and feels ft. Finally to picture him a„ he really is and not ag prejudiced whites must have him to be. This calle for writers and producers who thoroughly know and understand the Negro, are familial- with his great hdatoiy and achievements of past and present, and are in touch wi th his everyday joys, and sorrows and they must use their pens with courag'c, artistic skill, and digni ty. Heroes vs. Clowns The Negro race offers a gold mine of humorous, dramatic and romantic material, having its share of heroes, adventurers, pioneers, martyrs scientists, inventors sch olars, athletes and artists in A merican and world history Yet writers and producers continue to portray u* as a race of clowns, flunkies, cowards and degenerates. In doing thig these persons are either surrendering to the tradit ions of American race prejudice, catering to the box-office values or are just plain ignorant. Whatever the causes, a remedy must be found and applied without further delay, that is, if colored picture films hope to l-emain in business. The colored movie fan can no longer be fooled by medi ocre efforts and slip-shod techni que. Like his fellow white fan, his tastes are discrimination, he ex pects his money’s worth, and keen ly resentg any humiliation or in sult to his i-ace. I believe the colored film indust ry should remember the wise and age-old saying, "We have to crawl before we can walk,” and start with short subjects first, then, as they gain perfection and the re spect and following of picture-go ers, Coey can gradually work up to f ull-length pictures. As a guide and example, I point to a recent "Pete Smith" short made by MGM a most surprising and gratifying departure from the usual.
