 The October issue of Photoplay magazine contains a comprehensive article on what payment leaders among film players receive for thei~ work. The following is from What They Really Get"
 Mary Pickford receives weekly salary of $2,0O0, fifty-two weeks of the year. But Miss Pickford's sal ary is unique in the motion picture industry. Her earning capacity and tremendous following can only be compared with that Of Maude Adams. For she is indeed the Maude Adams of the film.
 Just as the salaries of actors and actresses in the legitimate are usu-
 fly one-half or one-third of the amount stated by their managers or press agents, the salaries of the film stars are only a fraction of what the public is told they re- ceiVe. In fact, when 1t is announced that film star receives a certain amount the safe rule is to divide it by two and then subtract one third of the quotient if you are anxious to arrive at the real salary of the player. The fault of exag geration seems to be inherent in n,alything connected with the amusement husiness and it is fora' in it's most fragrant form when actors salaries are discussed
 What, then, are the real salaries paid to movie actors and actresses
 With the exception of Mary Pick ford. Charlie Chaplin and possibly Marguerite Clarke, there is no film star in America who receives more than s750 week as salary. Yet dozens of legitimate and vaudeville 3tars earn that amount in the az. Eregate. Recognized film favorites ike Clara Ktmball Young, Florence Lawrence, Blanche Sweet Norma Phillips, Anita Stewart and Ruth Stonehouse, receive from s20O to $500 a week This is the weekly salary of Clara Kimball Young, who ranks second only to Mary Pick ford in popularity, When 1t comes to male film stars. their sato-in are considerably less From $1OO to $400 is the weekly salary of leading men like King Baggott, Francis X. Bushman, Arthur John son, Maurice Costello and Carlyle Blackwell.
 Here are some specifically stated salaries, per week: J. Warren Ker- rigan, $400; Earle Williams, $500; Mary Fuller, $500; Mabel Normand, $500, and Charlie Chaplin s1,2OO.
