Hollywood Mares DoW Negro Movie By H. WALKEX "No Way Out," a 20th Oeatury Fox prodnetioa which openi at the, Rivoii Theater, August 18, is the ultimate in movies which hava dealt with or around the Negro. In fact it goes farther than that. HoUywood at last has released the bounds of calling a "spade a spade." In "No Way Out" that hated epithet which so far has been ignored as much as Hollywood ignores the Negro in American life is suddenly given its freedom as if shot loose from a Jet projector. Richard Widmark plays the part of a violently antti Negro hoodlum from the wrong olde of the tracks.

It is from his lips that nearly every is punctuated with the word "a or "Sambo'. or "coon." They come in aaeh heavy doses that it's quite probable that their effect might be lost, on those who see the movie. iv Sidney Potter, capable young Negro actor, is the victim of Widmark's ire.
