Hollywood Salary
Probe Threat Is
Cause OF Anxiety

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 13. CUP
The film industry was nervous
yesterday with fear that a gov
ornamental inquiry into salaries
MIGHT throw a spotlight of pub
| licity on golden secrets whlcf
have been hidden during depres
sion days. ,,.
President Roosevelt, taking
cognizance of telegraphic charges
ordered an investigation to Learn
whether fabulous salaries were
being paid Immature persons
for comparatively little work.
Whether or not the industry
feared the direct result of the
inquiry, it foresaw trouble thru
unfavorable publicity:
President Roosevelt's inquiry
probably would sustain the fol
lowing figures, generally accept
ed in Hollywood:
Maurice Chevalier, $4,000 &
picture, two pictures year.
Will Rogers. $4,000 pic
ture, three pictures year.
Greta Carlo, $4,000 a pic
ture, two pictures a year.
Leslie Howard. 100000 pic
ture.
Ann Harding, 100000 pic
ture, four pictures a year. ooo
Constance Bennett, SlOO,OOO
picture, three pictures a year
(Once received 100000 a week
for 10 weeks for two pictures
with Warner Brothers while un-
der contract to RKO9-
Janet Gaynor, 100000 a pic
ture, three pictures a year.
Kay Francis, $4,000 week.
John Barrymore received $751;
900 for Is days contract to make

daily for six extra days.
Mae West receives payment
for both story and picture and a

about 100000 on it.
Jeanette Mcdonald. $4,000 a

William Powell, $4,000 a week
Ruth Chatterton, $4,000 a week
Jackie Cooper, $1,000 a week
Baby Leroy. $4,000 for part
in Bedtime Story" p
With those in the top figures
must be grouped such stars as
Wallace Berry. Marie Dressler
and Helen Hayes. Juveniles are
not many these days. Jackie
Cooper probably ranks at the TOP
of the child actors, with his
$1,000 week. Court records
show many minors having con-
tracts approved, most of them
starting at from $50 to $50 a
week, with options which if taken
up would give substantial in
creases over period of years.
Harold Lloyd and Charles
Chaplin are producers as well as
actors. Lloyd is disappointed if
he does not clear 100000 a
picture, and makes one picture
every two years. Chaplin gross,

club between DR.. j. G. Bennett,
the famous golfng dentist, and

Odds, which originally favored
the shcing dentist, then fell to
about even two days before the
match. shifted again in favor of
Bennett today on the eve of the
match when it became known re-
liably that Whitmire was having
trouble with his putting, depart
ment in which Bennett has always
been outstanding.
Both camps today predicted vic
tory for their side and utter rout
to the opposition. The Bennett
staff, headed by Generalissimo
Duff. predicted that the dentist
would go into his famous full
squat early in the match and close
out Whitmire at the tenth hole.

that Whitmire, after a good rest
of a day and night at Charlotte,
would have no trouble with Ben
nett.

over the match. was about evenly
divided in support of the t wo

trail man in town was C. Kirby
Hoover, who has met both men

ment was: whats it all about

this morning that Willie Dow, for
mer professional at the club,

ment of Wickie P. Andrews, who

Simons.

effective way of emphasizing the
need of immunization. We are
endeavoring to prevent every case
of diphtheria and smallpox in Wa,

our share of telling mothers about
the immunization clinics conducts
ed by the city board of health IN
five of our baby stations, that we
can prevent some of the cases at
least. We have cared for four
cases of diphtheria already this
year. Every one of which was
preventable.
We were sorry to accept the

John LaMattino. %, and George
Marchito. %, were sentenced to
serve from one to three years in
states prison at Wethersfield when
they pleaded guilty to charges of
attempted criminal assault before
Judge John Richards Booth in SUI
perior court today.
LaMattino, when arraigned last
week, pleaded guilty to statutory
charges, while Marchito who mar
ried the 20 year old girl involved
in the case, pleaded not guilty and
chose jury trial.
The state rested it's case yester-
day and the defense testimony was
started. This morning counsel for
Narcotic, Attorney Harry Krasow
and Attorney George H. Lynch.
went into conference with Judge
Booth and States Attorney Law
renee L. Lewis.
After the conference, it was an
nounced that Marchito had elected
to change his plea. He pleaded
guilty to attempted assault and La
Mattino withdrew his first plea to
enter his plea of guilty to attempt
ed assault.
Marchito's change of plea came
as a distinct surprise because the
case was expected to go to the jury
this morning for elaboration.
States Attorney Lewis said the
state was willing to accept the plea
and mentioned that the court was
aware of the circumstances as was
pointed out in the chamber confer
ence. He recommended the states
prison sentences.
LaMattino, who Is married and
the father of two children, and
Narcotic were accused of having
criminally assaulted the Naugatuck
girl during a ride to Wolcott a
month ago. Marchito married the
girl within a week after the alleged
offense.
States Attorney Lewis attempted
to have the girl testify but when
she took the stand she said, II
refuse to testify against my hus-
band"
Judge Booth refused to allow
her testimony to be given but Mr.
Lewis read several citations of the
supreme court relative to the case

A Days Outing
At Quassapaug
Ideal Place to Spend a
Few Hours This
Season

Now that the weather has turned
warm again, Lake Quassapaug be-
comes the popular place for resi-
dents of this city and the sur
rounding town. Quassapaug Is a
very attractive park and it has all
the advantages and none of the dis
agreeable features of the seashore.
The lake is situated close to home
and it takes only a few minutes to
get there. Moreover after a days
outing, when the family Is tired
there Is no long ride home. 1t Is
a delightful place to swim, the bath
houses are spic and span at all
times. 1t is the ideal place for
picnics and that Is the reason why
almost all the picnics of the city
are held there. AS for dancing, it
is only necessary to watch the
crowd in the pavilion any evening.
1t Is known far and wide as one
of the best dance halls in the state.
