THE NEW FILM
Paul Robson Starred in
emperor Jones" At
RiUOH Theatre

1.-THE Emperor Jones" an adaptation
of the drama by Eugene O'Neill; di-
reeted by Dudley Murphy; a John
Krirnsky and Clifford Cochran pro-
ductioni presented by United Artists.
At the Rivoli Theatre, with following
cast: Paul Robson, Dudley Digges,
Frank Wilson and G. H. Stamper.
A most subtle and at the same time
brazen act of jim has been
staged by United Artists in present.
ing the film version of Emperor
Jones" In an effort to keep Negroes
out of the Broadway Rivoh Theatre,
United Artists has opened the film
simultaneously at the Roosevelt Thea
tire, in Harlem. This is the second
time in recent years that this form
of Negro segregation has taken place
in New York City. A few years ago,
when "Haleluja" opened at the En-
bassy Theatre, M. G.. M. pulled SIM
liar stunt.
play, THE Emperor Jones" finally
reaches the screen with Paul Robson
playing the part of Brutus Jones.
Dudley Murphy, the director and Du
Bose Hayward, the author of the
screen scenario, have followed the
original play with fidelity. They have
added prologue - a biographical
sketch of Brutus Jones the pullman
porter from Georgia, the Harlem
playboy, murderer, and jailbird in a
Georgia chain-gang, escaped convict,
and finally the Emperor of a Negro
island in the Caribbean Sea. The re-
suit is what might be claimed by a
number of people as good enter
tainment" because of certain COM
petence of the director and mostly
because of the presence Of Paul Ro-
bosom. Robson is simply swell. He
plays his part magnificently and has
the grandest speaking voice that I've
ever heard come from the screen. But
Dudley Murphy who has reputation
of knowing his Harlem Negro" has
done thoroughly unimaginatiye job
with this film. 1t remains competent
and that's all.
The basic fault with the film is in
the original conception. ONeills
theory is (and it is the common
theory of most of Americas white
novelists and some middle class Ne
gro writers who write about Negro
life and Negroes that under certain
conditions he will revert to his "Afri-
can ancestry: the fears, the supers-
titions, and the hysteria of the print
tive ritual. There is no scientific
basis for such theory. These myths
are means which serve as, cultural
weapon for the continuation of the
Negro as an oppressed minority. The
Negro in this film is no different
from the Negro as presented to us by
King Vidor in "Halleluja' some years
ago: loafer, a crap shooter, Har-
lem jazz-baby, a killer, and finally
jailbird His becoming Emperor
Jones" is the final stage,
If you are looking for entertain
ment then you have it in the acting,
the speaking and singing of Paul
Robson. But if you expect to see an
artistic achievement you will be dis
appointed. A film that is false as
social document and uninspired in
conception and execution cannot be a
work of artistic merit.

Comrades around me were swal-

Governor who had sent militia to
shoot down miners striking on the
Mesaba Range. The Governor, as the
eyes of the audience turned upon
him, looked grim, but later saw
him chuckle to his ladies.

on his nose. He was so short, dark
and funny looking, they helped him
appear dignified.

crushed while the auditorium was

of his coat.
Spargo stood on tiptoe and shook
his fist in the air.

clapped their hands loudly almost
under Spargo's hairy nose. Taking
their cut from the Governor, the Of

Some of us waited until the bitter
end, though the huge auditorium
looked like big empty barn. We
stood in a clump, watching few of

the bellyrobber. "AIl that food is

Poison Suspected In Death
Of Rich Politician

The removal of the stomach
and chest organs was revealed
during a post-mortem of the body,
held at the demand of Coroner
Jones and Sheriff E. w. Bennett.
Evidence could not be found to
support the original theory that
Lowry died of a stroke Of apo
plexy.
Will Not Found
A slight bruise behind the ear
was disclosed in the examinations.
Lowry's death has puzzled south
ern Ohio for weeks. Despite his
reputed great wealth, his will has
not been found.
In his safety deposit box, where
it was expected to be located,
searchers instead found $4,000 in
cash and diamonds valued at
$4,000.
This was trivial compared to
the amount they expected to find.
A forced entrance was made
into a mausoleum to remove the
body for postmortem eXamina-
tion. Relatives who have keys to
the vault are out of the city.
