BIZ FaN Stevenson.

What is going to happen to the
poor little rich movie star?
Word comes from the film world at
Los Angeles Cal, that movie ac-
treSses' and actors salaries are going
TO take a big slump. Where COM
panies have put forth twelve big reels
1t is said only four will be produced
IN the future. Men and women who
have been receiving from $500 to
$500 a week are TO receive but one
third their usual salaries.
But the film companies of the East
are divided on this question.
David Wark Griffith does not agree
with the Los Angeles people at all.
There is to be no slump here in the
movie stars salary" said Mr.. Grif-
nth in his studio at Mamaroneck. IN
fact, cannot say just how much the
movie actress or actor may demand
in the future. Since the armistice our
business has. been gigantic. Never
have we had such attendance and
such demand for high class produce
tions. TO illustrate my point, let me
say that the production of Way
Down East has exceeded The Birth
of Nation 80 per cent. in attend
ance.
Good stars are needed for our
plays" continued Mr. Griffith, "and
in order to get good stars excellent
salaries must be paid. You cannot
expect Ethel Barrymore, David War
+. cid and Mrs. Fiskc TO come down in
their prices,
But l predict a big change in the
future CO the movie business" went
on Mr.. Grifiith, "in that more atten-
ton is to be paid to the production
than ever before People are more
discriminating At one time the
stars name made the hlm. In the
future the production itself is going
TO count just Us much as the starr
name"
