Te amusement world wants one thing from the Negro above all oth ers- It wants and will pay for hu mor Today it doesn't get it- Holly wood- radio, and the theatre owners are claiming the Negro entertain ment today is almost void of humo. and that is why so much feverish activity is taking place to bring to the front Negro comedians of the variety that will be acceptable to the intelligent theatregoers or radio lis teners. Radio is wide open for funny Ne gro comedians as witness the success of Rochester on Jack Benny’s pro gram and Eddie Green on the "Duffy Tavern. Yet, in spite of all the colored performers listed as comedians, ther? is scarcely a handful who can quali fy today as humorous in the sam. category- with a Rochester or an Ed die Green. Turn back the clock twenty year ago and the rich- infectious humoi which the world has oeen schooled to expect from Negro performers and entertainers was in its golden age. Bert Williams, Billy King. Emm ett Anthony, Marshall (Garbage) Rogers, and many others were in their heyday and ad no difficulty in getting bookings: . Tere were Miller and Lyle and many others who teamed up to give the world a good laugh- Today that isn't the case. In place of droll. quick-triggei wit; instead of pathos and the oth er aspects of laugh-making, the com edian of today, to a great extent, re lies on smut and off color gags to gain questionable laughs Instead of diligent writing of ms terial or securing the services of gag writers, the comics today rely on ad libbing and outright copying of rec ognized favorites of the hour The result is a dearth of humor that is commercial and that is why so few Negro comedians are on the radio and so few in the right setups in Hollywood A reason for this situation might be in the fact that colored comedians don’t have the jobs from which they can earn the money with which to pay topnotch gag writers for mater ial. In lieu of the cash, they have to attempt to write their own jokes, blackouts and scenes The result is usually a slavish im itation of something already estab lished as the property of somecn* I else, or a dismal flop in the laugh' getting department. That’s where the foul joke-. smut etc.- come in Such comedians as Dewey (Pig meat) Markham. John (Spider | Bruce) Mason, Joe Byrd, Tim Moore, Tiny Dixon- Jackie Mablcy, 1 and one or two others. Whether their type of humor and gags would go on the screen or on the radio is a question answered best by studying where they are in show business One thing, there is a fortune a waiting the colored comedian who can produce humor about Negroes as Phil Baker, Bob Hope, Jimmy Durante.
