Jacques, Richard Round-tree, Godfrey Cambridge, Calvin Lockhart, Yaphet Kotto. Black pictures helped solve a crisis for theater owners. With whites moving to the suburbs, massive old theaters in the central cities seemed doomed to decay and destruction. The lure of black films began filling up those theaters with Negroes who remained in the cities. Film companies began to see the need of black directors to interpret the black experience.

Magazine photographer Gordon Parks was the pioneer with "The Learning Tree" in 1969. Last year he scored with "Shaft." Melvin Van Peebles directed "Watermelon Man" for Columbia, then made "Sweet Sweet-back" on his own for an immense profit. Other black directors include Mark Warren, Back, Charleston Wendell Franklin, Bus Is Poitier, and the Ivan Dixon, Even with blacks directing blacks, critics have raised the question: "Do these films really reflect the black experience or are they merely white films done in blackface?" WW (EDITOR'S NOTE Films by blacks, starring blacks, aimed for the blacks' market is a new and highly profitable development in the American entertainment field. How did it come about? Are the pictures truly representative of the black experience? Following is the first of two articles on the black film phenomenon.) By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (AP) In the current film "Shaft's Big Score," the black private detective hero scorns a New York police investigator, also black, "My mother told me to stay away from black honkies with big flat feet" Five years ago, such a put-down of whites and blacks who work for the white establishment might have caused outrage. Today such scenes are common.

And not merely in low budget exploitation films. Films made by blacks and aimed primarily at the blacks market are being financed on sizable budgets by major studios. This is the result of a black revolution in the movie industry. Film companies have discovered belatedly that mil- REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) American challenger Bobby Fischer and Russian defender Boris Spassky finally begin play today in the richest and most publicized world chess championship of all time unless some new snag develops. Last-minute adjustments were being made on the stage of Reykjavik's sports hall.

The playing table was shortened, the green-and-white marble chessboard constructed for the fourth time, and the overhead lighting changed. But these were small details compared to the tangled negotiations and war of nerves that preceded the encounter, originally set to start July 2. Spassky, 35, drew the white chessmen and with them the first move. Fisher, 29, of Brooklyn, N.Y., had the black pieces. One game will be played each Tuesday, Thursday price 2.44 vous and upset.

ICE CREAM SOCIAL lions of dollars can be made by aiming movies primarily at the big city black audience. If the movies contain enough quality, they also will draw patronage from whites. Hence, a bonanza such as MGM produced last year with "Shaft." The film reportedly grossed $18 million in the United States and Canada. It was MGM's only big hit in 1971. The Negro's advent to film prominence was a long time coming.

During the earliest years of movies, the black was portrayed as either servile, as in various versions of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," or lazy, as in two 1910 series, "Rastus" and "Sambo." The black as villain was exploited by D. W. Griffith in the 1915 "Birth of Nation." Griffith was so astonished by the outcy of prejudice that he made the epic "Intolerance" in his own defense. The talkie period brought some all black films: "Hallelujah" by MGM in 1929: "Green Pastures," Warner Brothers, 1936: "Stormy Weather," 20th Fox, 1943; "Cabin in the Sky," MGM, 1943; "Carmen Jones," Preminger, 1954; "Porgy and Bess," Goldwyn, 1959; "Raisin in the Sun," Columbia, 1961. None of these films was a financial success, and producers over the years adopted the maxim that "colored pictures don't sell." There was scant work for black actors during the first 50 years of film history.

A few became well known, largely in roles as menials: Clarence Muse, Louise Beavers, Bill Robinson, Ethel Waters, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. Hattie McDaniel won an Oscar for her Hours Changed Due role as Mammy in "Gone with the Wind." Others were relegated to roles in which they appeared incredibly lazy or frightened of ghosts, Stepin Fetchit, Willie Best, Farina of the Our Gang comedies, and an actor who was called "Sleep 'n' Eat." Paul Robeson played a few leading roles in the 1930s, mostly in non-Hollywood films such as "The Emperor Jones," and "Sanders of the River." Lena Horne appeared in MGM musicals, but her songs were carefully isolated so they could be cut from showings in the South. Sidney Poitier was the star who triggered the Black Revolution in films. The Nassau-born actor had been in movies since "No Way Out" in 1950, but he seemed destined for billing under such stars as Tony Curtis and Rock Hudson. Then in 1963 he starred in "Lilies of the Field," and won the Oscar as best actor.

Hollywood was quick to realize the value of the newfound star, and he appeared in such moneymakers as "A Patch of Blue," "To Sir with Love," "In the Heat of the Night" and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner." Always he portrayed a successful black in the white world. "The industry discovered something from Poitier's films," says Jim Brown, the pro footballer who became a black film star. "Over half the patronage came from blacks in the big cities. "That pointed out two things to the producers: that the industry needed some blacks stars; and that dignity was needed in the portrayal of blacks on the screen." Poitier's immense success helped create stardom for other black actors: Brown, Raymond St. John's Lutheran Church Corner of Court Clover Sts.
