Hollywood.--At last a method
has been devised for making high
salaried movie folk take salary
cuts--and like 1t.
Oh yes, most Of them have been
taking their cuts-but they didn't
like it. But now they are being
shown how they have a possibility
of doubling their incomes by TAX
ing the cuts. Doesn't sound right,
does it? But wait, let's get into this
matter a little more fully.
During the last few days there
has been organized in Hollywood
q Screen Guild. The purpose of this
guild is to produce pictures in
which everyone will share alike in
the profits-if any.
Here's the way 1t works. The
Screen Guild wants Jack Gilbert to
star in a picture. Gilbert's sal
airy is $4,000 week. The Guild
offers him $1,000 a week in cash
and $1,000 in participating GER
tificates."
When the returns start coming
in from the picture, the cost is de-
Quoted. Then If there are any
profits they are divided proportion
ately among those holding such
certificates-actor authors, direc-
tor and producer.
If the picture happens to be a
big hit, Gilbert's salary might be
boosted to $4,000 weekly. But If
the public turns thumbs down on 1t
well, Gilbert has received $1,000
a week anyway.
II the guilds plan is successful.
and I can see no reason why 1t
shouldn't be, it Is safe to predict
that all of our major studios will
be falling in line and working along
the same plan.
NJ. c. Levee, who for some years
has held down various executive
positions in Hollywood and now is
president of the Academy of Mo-
ton Picture Arts and Sciences,
conceived the idea of the Screen
Guild and is its president. And he
is being given the support of prac-
tically the entire industry.
Studio heads have stated that
the guild even could use their con-
tract players when they were not
busy. OF course, there are strings

Winding OlOn Business Is
Secret OF Tobin Success
Genevieve Is One Girl Who Hasn't "Gone Hollywood"


mits that she has a streak of do
mesticity which crops out every
now and then.
She doesn't know the first thing
about cooking and doesn't particu-
larly want to. But she possesses
all of the other domestic traits
whatever they may be. OF yes, she
throws things when mad.
At present Miss Tobin is rather
up in the air regarding her future
plans. First of all there are few
contract difficulties to be ironed
out with young Carl Laemmle,
Universal studio boss. However, If
Junior, as he is better known, has
seen Maurice Chevalier's latest
film, "One Hour With YOU" there
won't be much Of an argument.
He'll give the actress what she
wants and count himself lucky to
keep her.
She gave one of the best per-
formances in that picture l have
seen on the screen in some time
proving that all she needs is part
she can get her teeth into and
she'll deliver the goods.
Outside of her picture activities,
Genevieve isn't at all success in
Hollywood. One never hears any
scandal about her-not even re-
ported engagements. And she
actually seems to enjoy minding
her own business!
But If people in the movie viii
lage only knew her more intimate
ly, what a lot of talk there would
be. Why, she's 30 fashioned
she actually prefers bathtub to a
shower. And she has a passion
for pajamas that even her mother
can't understand. Unless it is abb
so1utely essential. she never puts
on dress before noon. And she
actually has more pajamas than
dresses in her wardrobe. There.
how's that for something to talk
about?
