tho acting pure and simple was any worse thah II 10
in these days OF B7OO-a-week leading men and
S4OO-asweek leading women.
NOW IN war times actors salaries, like all other
salaries went up and very naturally too, in times
when dollar hardly purched as much as quarter
did three years before or twenty years alter AS
time went on. however salaries and prices began
to fall, and money resumed something IKE
normal value. but actors salaries kept on
steadily increasing instead OF decreasing
and two or three years ago suddenly went up. as
regards leading people, at least to alarming de-
gree. Why was thisH Well, first and foremost
attr butte it to the ill-advised action of certain
well, let us call them speculative managers. IAeir
principle seems to be that the actors they have
on their salary-llst and the more they pay them
the more success they are bound to have They
never haggle about prices but if they know another
manager wants certain actor or actress 10 play
certain parts they think they arc showing their
cleverness by securing him or her at any price, 50
long as their brother-manager IS disappointed.
The consequence of all this is patent Actors saia-
ries have become inflated, and the public have to

an order was entered in tho decree prohibiting
subsequent marriage during the lifetime OF the

Invariably lar as l heard, counsel gave the
opinion that such a marriage would not be Vold
unless il was in direct violation OF the law OF

cases where marriage was intended by a divorced

how much annoyance could be given them by any
proceedings to enforce the prohibition. L never
knew a case where the persons involved were de-
TERED from the second marriage by dread of the

contemplated. There seemed to be general under
standing that the law of nations, it exists, must
be the rule as between the States Of the Union.
That law is founded on a broad view Of
