inflated salaries were brought back
to pre-war basis. The motion pic

such huge salaries. When business
was booming in the movies they
would capture q stage star who was
getting around $500 a week and
offer him anywhere from $1,000 to
$500, and pretty soon--the actor
would get so used to such pay that
anything less than $1,000 a week
would look sick to him. But now
that the film business has pass.d
through a period Of depression of its
own, players are turning to the
stage again.

$500 a week, and ordinary actors

Others Guarded.
Other prominent managers were
guarded in committing themselves.
Lee Shubert said:
Salaries will come down. That
isn't to say that / intend to bring
them down personally. Fixing u
salary for an actor is an individual
