Home Of The Brave
IHeralds New Era
For Negro In
Hollywood

NEW YORK CITY, N. Y, April
The most important booking news
of the season - the signing of the
Victoria Theatre for the world pre-.
miere of the Screen Plays-United
Artists new film sensation, "Home
of the Brave" was announced to.
day by Gradwell L. Sears, VA pres
dent.
The Victoria, New York's newest
showshop for distinguished motion
pictures, inaugurated it's prestige
film policy with Joan of Arc" now
following with "Home, of the Brave"
the first motion picture of it's kind.
A guarantee of 100000 has been
put up by the theatre in the face
of what is expected to be an ex-
tremely long run.
Home of the Brave" is a drama
tic, action-packed story of CT mis-
sion in the South Pacific, involving
five men one of them Negro.
Produced by Stanley Kramer, head
of Screen Plays, it made Hollywood
history in three categories:
Based on Arthur Laurents' prize
play, it switched its central theme
to a drama of anti-Negro hate. the
first motion picture on this theme
ever to come out of Hollywood.
1t. was filmed in secrecy, an un-
precendented feat in gossip-minded
Hollywood, and it was the first mo-
ton picture production to go from
start to finish in eight weeks.

ed for the screen by Carl Foreman
and directed by Mark Robson, add

ing up to the same triumvirate re.
sponsible for New Yorks current
hit, Champion" at the Globe.
The world premiere of Home of
the Brave" is now scheduled for the
Victoria for midway.
In making Home of the Brave"
producer Stanley Kramer has mine
ed no words and has not evaded
making a frontal attack on the
great American dilemma - "the
Negro Problem" He has approached
the American Negro Problem from
the standpoint of pure realism
which results in his picture being
one hour an done-half of tense, eX-
citing entertainment and revelation.
1t took unusual courage for Stan
ley Kramer to produce this picture
concerning one of the great taboos
of the fovie industry. 1t would
have been easy to follow the con-
venient Well-Worn traditional paths
to success. For a quarter of CEN
fury no one has dared discuss with
unbiased frankness the problems of
the American Negro the prob
lem of the color of mans skin
and second class citizenship. But
now since Kramer has had the cou-
age to blaze trail suddenly all
studios are interested in produc-
ing a picture concerning people who
form a tenth of our nation.

The discarded bar mitzvah was

Reform Judaism which had been

was going back toward the right.
Temples had restored the beau

were participating more in the
ritual; the hands of women were
raised in the blessing of the can

congregations were like grateful
