Negro Theatre Talent
Muy Have To Return
To Harlem, Says Actor

Perhaps the Negro will have to
build his own theatre, "for only
then will we be able to tell the
rest of the country of our cultural
contributions and of our real daily
life" writes William Marshall, well
known stage and moving picture
actor in the current issue of Thea
tre, nationally known magazine.
It seems ironic, he writes, that
while the nations theatre is seek
ing a renewed vigor, a segment of
the nation must be seeking ex-
preston in isolation. 1.-The Amer
ican theatre could do we'll to exploit
truly native sources of talent"
Marshall declares, adding that "in
all the areas where it may seek
new vitality, it will find Negroes
prepared and available"
Marshall had the role of de
Lawd" in '"The Green Pastures" :"
by Dorothy DeBose Hayward, re-
vived in recent years; and the role
of Christophe in Lydia Bailey"
recent Hollywood movie about the
Haitian revolution.
In his article, entitled "Let MY
People Speak," the tall actor who
also has a rare singing voice, de-
cries the lack of opportunities for
Negro actors and workers in the
theatre media of the day. In the
few instances in which Negroes
have been employed in radio, he
points out, they are depicted as
servants or buffoons, making
mockery of our own plight and
not diagnosing the disease that
brought it about"
Whereas television has made a
minor capitulation, Negroes are one
of every five hundred artists en-
ployed, the actor says, and are
given the opportunity of branding
themselves in millions of homes
with the stereotype of "Beulah."
Out of some twenty shows on
Broadway last year, Marshall as

keep his promise to present the
greatest band of his career open

public is clamoring once again for
Lucky Millinders ork. Strange as
it may seem, the national musi-

soften up Lucky into reactivating
his band, because the business
needs man like Lucky to fully
bring back the bands. We under

for this, it's understood that only
ten attractions have made money

repeat each of these twice in order
to have 20 successful weeks, which
is still not enough for a successful
