the little theater is mentioned only that
it may emphasize the contrast. Costello
returned to vaudeville, whence he came
to adorn the film world. His ability
to do this is fortunate. Few others have
the same opportunity.
Another star of Costellos day was the
famous John Bunny, who was far more
popular as a comedian than any who reign
to-day. Bunny was rich as well as beloved
Throughout the country theaters were
named for him. A beautiful country estate
was his relaxation. During the earlier
periods of his fame he put away" small
farm in the West, which he declared was
to be his retreat when old age should
come. When Bunny signed new contracts
with film producers the amount of his
salary was an item of important news
among those who were interested in the
various phases of the motion picture indus
try of that day. There seemed to be no
limit to his progress toward a weekly pay
envelope of enormous proportions.
Suddenly this gentle natured comedian
The New York herald., 1922-05-07

died. There was a will and an estate. But
they had to do only with a few dollars.
He left scarcely enough to guard his widow
from serious inconvenience. No charge
of profiigacy could have been brought
against him. He did not live as do many
of the picture stars of to-day. He was
associated with no revels, no spectacular
tours about the world, no large fleet of
multicolored automobiles. Nor any of the
other rather pathetic extravagances to
which so many film stars commit them
selves.
Another similar instance was that of the
unfortunate Olive Thomas, whose tragic
death in Paris still is somewhat of mys-
terry, with its suggestions Of suicide Miss
Thomas, who was one of the foremost stars
of her time, and whose name outside the
theatre drew hundreds of thousands every
day to see her --latest production" was a
familiar figure in New York's Fifth and
Park avenues, where almost every day she
was to be seen dashing about in expensive
automobiles of foreign make with liveried

to sell at such great loss the furnishings
which had made his home so lavishly
elaborate, is not disclosed. He still Is
most active in the theater and still remains
a star. Perhaps he wished merely to out
fit his home anew-but this hardly seems
possible.
Quite recently 1t was disclosed that even
the foremost star of to-day has what his
admirers think a most meager bank ac-
count. This is Charles Chaplin, who re-
Gently admitted to an interviewer that the
most Of his estate was represented by his
bank balance, and that after all these
years of his prominence and success this
balance at that time reached only $3.50, ,000
so you see," said Mr.. Chaplin, II have
good reason to worry about my old age.
And that explains why | am not such
spectacular spendthrift as many think
should be-"
And IL Charlie" Chaplin is worrying
about his old age, certainly 1t is per-
missible to wonder how spacious
poorhouse it will require for the prosper

old age comes along.

chauffeurs and footmen. Her furs and
jewels were one of the sensations of the
"Rialto." Periodically she fitted away to
Europe with a retinue of admirers in her
train. and abroad her passage was some
thing of the procession of an Empress.
When she died she left only her automobiles,
her furs and her jewels. And even these
were mortgaged and had to be sold at
auction.
Just the other day II was noted in the
news that Miss Mae Busch, who, while not
one of the foremost stars, has enjoyed most
generous salaries for some time, and whose
name has beer associated with some of the
most successful of the later film mas
terpieces, had been compelled to resort to
bankruptcy proceedings. Her estate. as
she listed 1t, amounted virtually to nothing.
Her creditors were modistes and tailors
and she had not been able to pay them.
Undoubtedly Miss Busch earned during the
last few years of her prominence much
more than S150,000.
One of the most spectacular of the roman

the time when ne mlgnt

his own. Close by was the
spacious stone garage in
which Mr.. Bushman's town
car, his touring car, his
roadster and his racer were
kept, always spick and span
and ready to answer what
ever might be their masters
whim of the moment. 1t was
said by some one then that
there were more servants on
the Bushman estate than
there had been clerks in all
the grocery stores in the
Bushman native town.
Not so long ago an auc-
tioneer disposed to haggling,
bartering buyers the furni-
ture, rugs, paintings and
other effects of Mr.. Bush
mans home. Marvellous vases,
which had been imported for
him from France and which
had cost thousands of dollars
each, were sold for the song
that is sung by a five dollar
bill. Almost marvellous rugs
from Persian looms, brought
to this country for Mr.. Bush
man by agents sent abroad,
were sold for the smallest
fraction of their original cost.

held, why Mr.. Bushman found

tic stars of the film world now prominently
before the public is the vivacious Mae
Murray. Miss Murray's career like herself,
has been most spectacular. 1t frequently
has been said that, despite the claims of
many other stars, Miss Murray's income
has consistently been larger than the ma
jority of them. 1t might well be taken for
granted that her weekly pay envelope in
cludes figure close to $3,50O And it might
further be accepted as a certainty that
there are contracts which guarantee that
this pay envelope will materialize each
week for at least year or two. Miss
Murray has no family responsibilities she
has often told her friends. And in addi-
tion, there is most successful husband
whose wages also may be estimated at al
most the same figure as those of his wife.
Just short time ago Miss Murray at.
tracted attention by appearing in court
to defend a suit brought against her by
plumber, who declared that he had been
unable to collect from her the two or
three hundred dollars he had charged for
installing some of the luxuries of Miss
Murrays bath
1t was then disclosed that Miss Murray
is the happy mistress of an apart
ment which includes such items as Roman
gardens, Italian suites and indoor land
scapes-all mere features of an apartment
which nestles away in one of New York's
apartment houses.
Miss Murray contended, of course, in
was not that she could not pay, but that
she would not And so that must be right.
Miss Murray may be accepted, however,
as the example of a class. And will they
some day have to have poorhouse of
their own?
Francis X Bushman still is a tradition
in the film world. Especially noted as be-
ing "the handsomest man." he also was a
most convincing interpreter of romantic
cinema roles. He was, in fact, for many
years the one supreme matinee idol of
know no limitations. From the chaparral
of the Wyoming cowboy riding fast and
furious across the plains to the rescue of
the cowpuncher's fair daughter he passed
with delightful ease into the habiliments
of Romeo and stood gracefully below the
balcony on which was borne his entranc-
ing Jugiet. And those who thrilled at his
cowboy brushed away tears at his tragic
finish as Romeo. 1t made no difference
what the subject 1t was Francis X. Bush
man the great throngs clamored to see.
And these same throngs never remem-
bered, or if they did they did not care,
that their hero had been not so long be-
fore a promising grocer's clerk.
The whilom grocey's boy moved into
one of the most magnificent estates in the
aristocratic suburbs of Baltimore. Out
beyond the lawn was roomy stable,
where high bred horses were quartered.
Mr. Bushman had long looked forward to

to-day is as nothing compared to the fame

would say "he was in his prime"
The earnings of this star, when he was

of him that no theatrical celebrity ever
had earned such salary Each year

somewhat pathetic little figure still spruce
and debonair however, was noticed leaning
over the last seats in a rather small film
theater, interestedly watching the silent
play of the drama on the screen. The pic
ture being shown was one of those that
had been dug out of the pasta senti-
mental and romantic episode of the West
in which Maurice Costello had been the
star. And the somewhat forlorn looking
figure leaning over the seats was that of
Costello himself.
Costello still is an active drawing card
in the theatrical world. The incident OF
