EMPIRE

'f Writer, actress, musician and idol of three continents, Madame Olga Petrova the great Russian actress who has just finished "Exile." a Para mount production, was seated on the beach completely surrounded with pillows, parasols dogs and books.
 On hearing our errand the great star sat up a little straighter. remov- ed dog or two from her lap and prepared to answer the bombardment of questions which she evidently knew from experience was to follow.
 My salary? What a queer be- ginning Generally they work up to that question gradually by series Of steps which they think will mislead me from their main purpose. I can see you are new at the game, aren't you my dears?'' And she gave us a merry glance with absolutely mo re- d sentiment. ~
 well. shan't tell you the amount. but must take the opportunity to explain that however fabulous our ally earn them-or if not we have to spend enough of them for gowns to make up.

My gowns in "Ex- fle' alone. my latest Paramount pie tufe, cost over two thousand dollars, I played the wife of wealthy Por- tugese man and as the Portugese women are noted for their gorgeous clothes. you can see that it was an expensive proposition.
 Besides our gowns. we are expect ed to live in a certain style and the upkeep of several large estates, mo tors and corps of servants is a large item of our accounts. However, won't bore you with further details, but please help me convey to the pulp lie, the fact that the so-called fabu- lous' salaries of the stars are truly not out of proportion to their needs and earning capacity. Think of the number of theatres in which each star appears at the same time.
 You asked about how I came to change from an opponent to the mo tion picture to an exponent, as it were, of it. We'll" and again the slow, sweet Petrova smile came into play, T believe in admitting when one is wrong, and certainly believe that I was-what is 1t you call it-'dead wrong on that question. In fact had not. given the motion picture a fair chance. had once or twice at- tended a very small movie" theatre and did sgiot realize that such sump- tuous theatres as the Strand and Rial to of New York and many others like them existed"
