The German producers can enforceS
this general scale. because they are

Government, but actually melted by

ND the films in a serious way-the way
they usually take up everything, even
their pleasare-and are out TO capture
the worlds markets with the conni-
vance of their Government, even II
they have TO forego the regular Satur-
day songfest Of the local lieder club.
Their attack on the South American
film field is a good instance of the
manner in which they will sacrifice
everything but their mustaches for the
export trade In this country Pas
sion" their first great feature picture
since the war, is reported TO have been
passed over the counter for $4,000, or
about the sum which it cost to organize
the French Revolution again for the
camera. In South America. according
ITO talk in movie circles here, which is
heating up almost to the point of set
ting afire nearby films, the same pic
4ure is being sold for $500. and the
purchaser has six months in which to
pay for it, if revolution in his own
locality hasn't removed him mean
while. This price is at the rate of six
cents a foot which strikes most film
officials here dumb-no small achieve
fnent in itself-because the ordinary
cost of developing a negative and max
ing prints here is from eight to ten
cents. not to mention paying for the
stars limousine and legitimate fits Of
temperament
In addition to selling at less than
cost on long credit, the Germans are
circularizing the export trade as busily
as though they were selling oil wells
that spouted more paper than oil. One
of the pamphlets they are sending
broadcast was shown here recently,
printed in parallel columns in three
languages, French, English and Span
igh, while only in the headlines at the
top of each trilingual description was
there any German unloaded on the
page, though here it positively shrieked
in big letters.
American capital is understood to be
surging into a couple of the largest
film companies in Germany and Hun
gary and giving them an infusion of
new blood needed in this marked
down" country. An official of Famous
Players-Laslxy Corporation last week
announced the opening of a new ex-
change in Germany for the distribu-
tion Of American films, which makes
this company. with branches in Eng
land, India, France and other coun-
tries, virtually the film League of Ma
tions Of the world.

Meanwhile the salaries of American
movie actors continue to shrink with
the same industrious persistence as a
dollar bill at a barber shop. One out
standing instance Is that of promi-
nent leading man who used to count
that pay day lost whose low descend
ing sum saw not $1,000 In. his palms
for the weekly strain of looking hand
some He is now being peddled about
the country in a picture for which he
rented out his face at only $3.50 per.
In view of this alarming decrease a
dozen of the more noted young men
without whom the starry-eyed god
desses of the screen cannot squirm
and pant In a state OF romance are
said to have arrived at n gentlemen's
agreement, whereby they are not to
accept an engagement at $500 or some
such measly sum week without first
Kissing it into the ears of the other
cinema lords OF creation.
This understanding Is on the prin-
ciple that 1t is better for them all to
hold out against the sword OF Damocles
that would reduce their salaries that
low, because they figure that in the
end. as they are all acknowledged TO
he so necessary to the peace of mind
OF movie audiences, one of them will
be engaged by a producer at the true
reward to which he feels himself en-
titled in this world, If not in the next.
Each leading man is willing to take
the risk of having another young
Apollo get the job at the high figure
rather than have one man start the
whole scale OF salaries on the toboggan
by swapping up the $500 offer and
looking Iovesick at such preposter-
GUS figure.

and would he more likely TO faint if
they received a single good offer, there
is one well known Juvenile OF the
movies. Richard Barthelmess, who Is

himself hobbled and hogtied. Two or
