-High.Priced Stars Go
As Slump Hits.

Washington, July 50s-The mo-
q ton picture industry is in a serious
condition, representatives OF the in
dustry told the house ways and
means committee today.
A delegation of producers and ex-
hibitors, headed by William A.
Brady of New York. representing
the National Association of Motion
Picture Industry. urged the commit
: tee to repeal existing film taxes and
the taxes on admission to motion
picture theaters. They were as
'sured by Representative Garner of
Texas that the democratic members
OF the committee would support
their demand.
The business depression hit the
motion picture industry harder than
. any other, the witnesses told the
s committee, and there is no prospect
"a of an early recovery to normal.
~- Samuel E. Rogers. vice president
of the Fox Film company, told the
;, committee that the days OF high
salaricd movie stars had passed.
. 1T is true that there are some stars
who get big salaries said Mr..
R.egers. But there is only one
Mary Pickford, one Charlie Chaplin
, aid one Douglas Fairbanks. You
e;H count the high-salaried stars on
tie fingers of one hand. The day of
, the high-salaried star in the movies
, is passed"
One-third of the movie studios
now are closed down, Mr.. Rogers
. said. Only one studio is operating
in the east, and in California there
is only 80 per cent of normal pro-
+, duction, he added. Only one motion
picture company was able to pay
dividends last year, the witness told
the committee.
a, The public has got to the point
where the shifting of the tax cannot
be continued any longer" said Mr..
Rogers. THE public does not COM
Arlain to congress but they complain
40 u.s."
= Mr.. Brady told the committee that
:1he depression hit the movie industry
Ia hard blow many moths ago.
N The depression in the motion
Spicture industry is so great that the
ftig salaries have been stopped,"|
, said Mr.. Brady. "The Hbig-salaried
:.people almost entirely disappeared

a remark about his fighting ability.
Farnum hates to fight, yet his record
shows that he has probably fought
more good battles than any other
man OH stage or screen. Nature fav-
ored him with a handsome body and
a powerful physique. Something In
herent in the human family Graves
the sight of a physical encounter
between two powerful men-proba-
bly, the outcropping of the old cave

reason why Bill Farnum has so many
fights In his pictures. People demand
them.
Farnum himself says emphatically
that he would rather play straight
dramatic parts. wher the thrills come
from good acting. He hopes to put
on the screen more classics similar
10 les Miserables' and "a Tale OF
Two Cities" which demand consum-
ate emotional acting.
Be that as II may. the admirers
