Colored Actors In Movies.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf CP.-Few
colored people have a hankering to act
in the movies, says James Smith,
operator of negro film casting
agency.
There are about hundred working
more or less regularly in the pictures
here, and their screen income is so
moderate that nearly all of them do
outside work.
Paradoxically. such extras seldom
are paid as little as the lowest paid
white extras. Their minimum is
usually $3.50 day. as against the S.
frequently paid white players. But
they average fewer days of work a
week and as for the more important
roles, virtually all negro character
parts have been played by white
actors.
The casting of James Lowe, negro,
in the role of Uncle Tom in a screen
version of "Uncle Toms Cabin" is re-
garded by other actors of his race
as the first real "break" a negro film
player has had since motion pictures
were invented.
There have been a few Independent
all-negro productions (siX of them in
she Hollywood area since 1879, but
lack Of an effective nationwide releas-
ing organization has limited such films
to a small public.
The colored players here are ops
timiStic over reports that Paramount
is considering using them in a pic
ture starring Emil Jannings, German
character player, as a cannibal king
that Metro Goldwyn has negro war
comedy in prospect: that De Mile will
produce "Porgy." and that Universal
will screen Octavus Roy Cohen's negro
stories.
