Hernandez Called
Honywoods~
Hottest

CHICAGO CAMP Juano
Hernandez is the hottest" Negro
actor in Hollywood today, the
first of his race to achieve four
major roles in a year since Step'n'
Fetchit shuffled to stardom Is
years ago, according to an article
in the August issue Of Ebony, Ne
gro picture magazine.
The most significant aspect OF,
the big. granite-jawed,. dynamic
actors current success is that in:
his latest movie, "The Breaking
Point" Warner Brothers abs
cast him in a white actors role
and there is no reference to race
or color in this movie, based on
Hemiagway's "To Have and Have
Not" Hernandez is cast as a fish
ing partner of John Garfield.
Of his role in this movie, Di-
rector Michael Curtiz says, "Her-
nandez is the new Negro in our
movies. No longer do we have
janitors and shoe shine boys. Now,
we have a dignified, intelligent
big man."
Ebony further points out, "This
is a symbol of the changing pat
terms of race relations in motion
pictures Size, in every role, Her
nandez has played a dignified, un-
derstanding Negro character"
Hernandez other major roles
this year have been as the magni-
ficent, proud farmer faced by a,
lynch mob in Intruder in the
Dust" a sharecropper with Joel
McCrea in "Stars in My Crown"
and a band leader with Kirk Doug
las in Young Man With a Horn"
To be cast in non Negro roles
is nothing new for Hernandez, who
had Is years of steady work as al
radio actor before he came to the
movies. As a RADIO actor, he port
rayed Mussolini, Premier TOTO Of
Japan, Emperor Hirohito, Chang
Kai-Shek, Edward Benes, Emper-
or Halle Selassie and others.
