When a writer writes a play
half Broadway = half-Hollywood,
he has no true play. Some pres
ent Negro writer's want to satisfy
both the New York stage and the
Hollywood movie industry at the
same time. 1t cannot be done.
Every truly great Negro play has
been frowned on by Hollywood.

The play goes on to broadway.
And the critics all feel about
the same way about il. Here is
one example: 1t has been many
years since | have walked out
OH play on its first night, but
did depart after the first act
of this one and reported to my
newspaper that this act of
LONG DREAM" was shody and
lascivious - a degradation of my
scat companion and of several
admirable Negro actors.
This act included tcen-age boys
discussing the theories and prac-
tlccs of birth control, police
man threatening to geld a Ne
gro boy With his knife, tough
madam urging her girls to keep
busy, and the assumption by
white policemen that all Negroes
must be guilty of something. II
seemed impossible that this play
could have been adapted by the
lady who did such wonderful
JoD of adapting Thomas WOlfe's
LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL"
Thus, it is logical that if this
happens when a white writes
about the Negro, the same will
happen when a Negro writes
about an unknown for the stage.
If some of our Negro novel
lists expressed via theatre in
stead of novels, the tragic situa-
tion of the Negro in theatre
could be allcviated. If James Bald.
win wrote a play equal to his
novel, go TELL 1T TO THE
MOUNTAIN" the Negro theatre
could be fervent; if Ralph Eli
son, Clarence Cooper, Willard
Molly, Ronald Miner, Chester
Hines, Herbert Simpson or Lor-
rainc Hansberry put their efforts
into theatre only, they would
find a better form OF expression.
Furthermore they would bring
light to the dark situation that
infests our Broadway theatre.
However, since most of the
aforementioned take the form of
II situations, they are not, at
present, helping the Negro in
Broadway theatre-not helping
in any theatre for that matter.
The mentioned writer's could eli.
inmate disasters like LONG
DREAM" "MANDINGO," COOL
WORLD" KICKS & co." or any
of those 100000 musicals.
The biggest Negro hit in New
York last year was written by a
