RKO CHIEF PROMISES
BETTER L

Chicago: Offering a formula which
will make decent roles for Negroes
possible in Hollywood movies, RKO
production chief Dore Schary says in
February Negro Digest that the movie
audience is largely responsible for "a
cial stereotypes on the screen and ex-
plains how he gets around this box
Office hazard.
Racial stereotypes existed in vau-
deville and show businesses long be-
fore the movies came along" Schary
writes in Negro Digest. These Of
fensive characters existed as far back
as Dickens-and even Shakespeare.
The audience accepts these stock
characters on the screen because they
exist in the audiences minds"
The recent wal woke the audience
up t othe ofenSveness of these char
acters though, Schary continues, and
when they were written out of scripts,
producers discovered that they made
more money on these pictures.
we found that when we offended
less people, more people paid to see
our pitcures."
Citing the experience of Gross
fire" his own movie on anti-semitism,
Schary says that not all theaters will
play this feature because it does
tackle the problem facing a minority.
But "Cross6re" was made on such a
low budget that it will still make big
money and as such will be successful.
Schary says the solution is a movie
made from an honest, intelligent piece
OF material about the Negro that can
be made on a low enough budget to
allow it to get by at the box Office.
With a few such films as this, audi
ences in general will demand that pic
lures reflect the world of today as we
all want it to be. ,

SOCIOLOCIST LAUDS
E

Chicago: rs the Negro press grow
ing or dying?"
In answer to this question Crinnell
College s~ociologist John H. Burma
declares in February Negro Digest
that the Negro press is doing both
decreasing in numbers and growing
in circulation and value to the COM
munity.
In all, Negro general newspapers
today number l55, fewer than any
time in the last so years, Burma as
serts. And these newspapers are grow
ing by leaps and bounds, he continues.
During two years circulation has in
creased more thar II per cent and
advertising more than so per cent.
This far surpasses the record for
white newspapers during the same
period" the Negro digest feature in
sists.
Pointing out that smaller newspa-
|pers have been unable to cope with
rising cost of production in the face
of competing larger newspapers,
Burma says that the bulk of the pres
ent Negro press is now in a sounder
position than ever before in its his
tory. The writer continues:
While this decrease in numbers
was occurring, number of employees
has been increasing about 10 per cent
a year. Negro papers are now pub
lished in 80 states and in all large
cities"
Contributing factors listed by Bur-
ma are, increased Negro interest in his
status as a second-class citizen, in
creased income, and migration Of Ne
groes from rural areas to larger cities.
