CORONADO CAL. Oct. 27.-Thesc motion
picture directors always talk in big figures.
They talk that way because they think that
way. They think in terms OF thousands where
the average man thinks in single dollars. They
think in millions of patrons instead OF hun
Greds-as does the 'legitimate' theatrical
magnatc. That's because the scope of the bust
is far greater than that of any other
amusement enterprise in the country.
This led to ask several film company d-
rectors the real "why" OF the motion picture
actors big salary: The answers / received
were varied, but back of it all was the thought
OF the immensely OF the business and the trc-
mondous flow OF receipts comes pouring in
after the release of n now picture.
Some OF them said that an actor Is direct
portrayer OF human nature others declared
that INC ton picture directors must have the
type OF persons who Mt Into certain eituations
just the real person would have fitted in;
others gave az reason that the average
screen actor actress remain in films
only until the age OF 50 or so-short life. but
heavy pay.
But all of them agreed that the real thing
back Of the big salaries Is the fact that the
screen actor has the biSgcst public Of all, that
he is playing to his millions and that he is
cxacting tribute from each one OF those mill
lions.
