bination.
Especial Cable to The Hsrsld.)

BERLIN, March 25.-The golden
auriole of the film stars of Germany
Is to be reduced. Care Is to be taken
that there shall be no screen multi
millionaires.
Practically all the large German
film producers have formed a COM
bination to curb the salary demands

The stars are said to be inspired
by the tales of tremendous salaries
paid in America.
The pay limit has been placed at
1000 marks a day. which is approx
imately $40 at the present rate of
exchange for luminaries of the first
order. Stars Of the second magni-
tude will be limited to 1900 marks
per day. A forfeit of 100000 marks
Is the penalty for any producer vio-
lating the agreement.
The average reduction is calcu-
lated at SO per cent.
