How Movie Money Moves.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

| NEW YORK, August 25.-It becomes
readily apparent to the most casual
inquirer here that the motion picture
| business Is passing through a parlous
and troubled phase Of its spectacular
career. No one conceals the fact. Men
connection with the business end Of the
big film companies say that few of them
have made any money upon their in
vestments for the last two years. They
assert that the business faces the need
for a sweeping reorganization.
Immense sums of money have been
poured into the movie business Wher-
ever this wealth is going. it is certainly
not returning to the investors.
The exhibitors will earnestly tell you
that they are not getting it, either.
Regulations growing out of the in
fanttle paralysis plague have made it
necessary for many houses here in New
affected them In other parts of he
country. But that Is not the only difh-
Guilty. The price Of film has steadily
risen. Many a small exhibitor who once
paid only $50 for a weeks program is
now paying that much for the releases
of single night.
If you continue your Investigations
and approach the actors on the same
subject. you will likewise find some
dissatisfaction. Salaries among the
regular m otion picture folk are begin
ming to go down, and show a prospect
of going down still more.
This. of course, does not apply to the
moving picture stars. who are the most
handsomely remunerated people on
earth. They get saarfes that the stage
could never touch, and they get them
by yearly contract, not by the engage
ment, which may end at any time,
Charlie Chaplin, with his $4,000 q
week: Mary Pickford. with her fabulous
income, and a number Of lesser lumi-
nartes with salaries ranging from
1900 to $4,000 q week. are certainly
not feeling hard times. II they chose
to be spenders, the Prince OF Wales
ton presidents are underpaid by COM
parison.
These stars, however, are not many.
The majority Of the people who make
the movies are not overpaid. Lead
ing parts are played by men and
women who earn from one to two
hundrer dollars a weekyquite compe-
tent actors and actresses who have
not happened to achieve any great
vogue. but whose work is nevertheless
very acceptable. both to the Companies
and the public. The innumerable lesser
parts pay still less money, the re-
lar-and-a-half q day people, who make
up the crowds and armies.
But there is today in the movie world
another, and at this time it would
seem a crucial. element. It Is COM
monty referred to among the movie
folk as "the Broadway people"

One Young Director

fanciful film
One Young Director with a tropical
Spent $75oOoo. sortbw,,n g. ,on me-
neyed to a tropical island, taking hun
dreds Of people with him. Having found
a suitable and perfectly authentic set
ting he proceeded to build whole city
and hire q native population for 1t. Then
he went ahead with his picture. The
president Of the company became
alarmed at the bills. took the first boat
for the island and threatened tho d.
rector with discharge demanding that
he surrender the script Of the scenario
at once. The director explained that the
script was all inside his head. So they
had to let him finish the picture. which
he did at a total expense Of $4,000.
Then they fred him-and a rival COM
pany hired him at a larger salary.
But they all agree that this gay BUSH
ture industry has passed through its
first youth, and sowed its wild oats.
The headache and the debts are now
coming on. and a period of hard. solid
and conservative endeavor.
One encouraging symptom is that the
companies are paying more and more
for their ideas. It has been widely
charged that the movies have been
monuments OF physical extravagance
and perfection, with very little brains
back Of them. The banal sentimental
ity, the slap-stick farce, the spectacle
emphasizing mere bigness for Its own
sake, devoid of taste and idea. have had
a large part in the film production.
But more and more pictures are ap-
pearing that merit the consideration of
the most critical, and there Is every
reason to believe that the elevation of
the cinema play toward a real artistic
standing will go on apace. The scripts
were bought for $40 to $50 a few years
ago by even the best companies; these
are now paying $3.50 to $1,000 for their
scenarios. The directors proclaim that
real ideas and real dramatic values are
what they seek. AS soon as they. learn
to md them, we may expect motion
pictures of a new type.
As for the financial situation of the
motion picture industry, the men that
know say it will be saved only by ex-
tensive reorganization. Not only are
the days OF extravagant expenditure
over. but the system Of booking re-
leases must be changed. Immense sums
are now wasted 6y the maintenance OF
rival Offices in all the principal cities.
A system Of cooperative clearing
houses will probably be an important
feature Of business In the future. The

certain return. ana produce Less ex-

ried away from them large quantities
Of money-just now very much needed.
The regular movie actors say that
Broadway people are "killing the
Broadway people must go before the
business will again be on a safe and
sound financial footing. The only ones
that are not eager for Broadway and
broadway actors themselves.
"You can always get q Broadway star
to do a part In a film for about four
times the price OF a regular movie
actor-and do 1t worse" explained one
director.
OF course, there ara exceptions to the
last part Of this statement. Some of
the broadway people have been con-
epfcuously successful in the movies.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-08-29

Likewise. some Of the films they made
have never appeared on tho screen.
There are no exceptions to the high
prices. however. A couple of years
ago. when the big companies were
making a thousand per cent upon their
investments, and were ready to buy
anything in the world that would boom
the business. they began to cast
covetous eyes and alluring offers to-
ward Broadway
Now the Broadway people were
strongly allured by the offers. De-
spite the large size OF the stage sal
aries, acting upon the legitimate stage
is one of the most poorly paid pro-
fessions In the world. Even an actor

having gone through the rehearsal
without pay and invested a lot OF
money in costumes.
To the followers of this uncertain
calling a yearly contract at an i'm
mense salary looked almost unbeliev-
ably good.
But the actors had the dignity of
their profession to think about. The
dignity Of the theatrical profession is
one of the most immense and amazing
things in the world. An actor will re-
main idle for years rather than take
any part which Is below his own esti-
mate of himself. So the stage folk
scorned the movies, and the bids for
their assistance kept going up.
