NEGROES URGED
TO AID ACTORS
OF OWN RACE
Film Star Declares Their
Support Is Essential to
Expansion. I

Replying to an inquiry about the
Negro actor in Hollywood Clarence
E. Muse, star of Hearts in Dixie
writes that Negro people should sup
port Negro actors and Negro mo-
ton pictures if they wish real OPP
portunity from the producers.
ut is indeed an exacting problem
for the Negro artist writes Muse
He is scarcely considered at present
Only in rar individual cases has he
been received as an artist. And the
most striking thing is that it is
not necessarily prejudice that holds
him out
The producers are moved solely
by box Office appeal and whims OF
the many thousand distributors and
theater managers who reflect the
reactions of their audiences in their
weekly reports to producers"
