Davis plays a runaway Ame rican slave of the 1850's in the United Artists feature, to be released this spring, and he claims his part is worth "one Roy Wilkins and six Martin Luther Kings." "That's just my way of hu morously .evaluating a picture like this," Davis said between scenes. "I think this picture is going to make an impact on the total racial situation because of its comedy," he continued. "Men like Roy Wilkins, Martin Lu ther King and all the leaders Involved in the civil rights struggle hfeve to present its most serious aspects because the problem is serious. But humor may be used to make serious points in a light-hearted way, and that is the function of my character in this pic ture," Davis said, j Davis portrays a house ser vant from Louisiana who is captured by Comanches, Kio was, a lone fur trapper, and finally a gang of renegade scalpers as he tries to make his way across the great south, west to Mexico and freedom. "It is unusual to find a slave and the subject of slavery being treated with any degree o{ hun»p*," Ravi* pointed out.

"Au diences can identify with the man, understand him and con demn the system that keepi him from making his dream of freedon* come true. They can see how un-American it is to keep a man down for any rea son whatsoever." Davis has been a ranking fi gure in the theatre since star ring in "Anna Lucasta," "Ja maica," "A Raisin in the Sun" and other Broadway hits. He wrote "Purlle Victorious," and co-starred with his wife Ruby Dee in the stage and screen productions of it. His first film was with Richard Widmark and Sidney Poltier in "No Way Out." Lately he has appeared in "The Hill," "A Man Called Adam" and "The Cardinal." Davis lives in New Rochelle, N. Y. Acting and writing take up most of his time. "I have three writing pro jects in work now," he said. "I'm adapting Mark Twain's novel, 'Pudd'nhead Wilson,' in to ' a stage musical for Lena Home. I'm dramatizing the history of Freedmens' Hospital in Washington, D. C. for a centennial presentation in June.
