SIZE HELPS FIRMS
IN SLUMP YEARS
But Normal Times Data
Might Change Findings
of Treasury.

BY the Associated Press.
Does big business mean big profits?
A search for an answer to that
question, raised by President Roose-
velt's proposal for a graduated cor
porate income tax under which larger
corporations would pay higher rate.
disclosed today a large amount of
uncertainty among some students as
to the relation between corporate size
and earnings.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue
has tabulated 1891 and 1882 corporate
income returns according to size, en-
abling statisticians for the first time
recently to make comprehensive
studies of profits in relation to the
worth and capitalization Of business
units.
Two studies, based chiefly on the
Treasury figures-one by the Ma
tional Bureau of Economic Research
and another by Prof. w. L. Crum of
Harvard University-found that earn
ing power tended to increase with the
size of the corporation.
Figures for Depression Only.
But they emphasized one point-the
Treasury figures covered depression
years.
Complete data on more normal
years might change the picture, 1t
was said.
"It seems likely" Prof Crum notes.
that smaller corporations may have
a higher rate of profit on their net
worth than larger corporations in
years of good business"
The National Bureau of Economic
Researches survey arranged corpora
tionS in several groups, according to
amount of assets. The survey showed
that in 1882, in the trough of the
depression, the only group still max
ing money were 6l8 corporations with
assets of $4,000. 900 or more each.
Their average net income was fig
ured as .03 per cent of capitalization.
At the other end of the scale were
more than 200, 900 corporations, hav-
ing assets under $4,000, showing a
loss of 80 per cent on capitalization.
Four Made Money in 1882.
Similar trends were traced for 1881.
A number of factors which might
have Influenced the picture were men
toned, including the relationship be-
tween industries and size of units
adapted to them. Four industries
were recorded as still making profits
at the bottom of the depression-utili-
ties, foods, tobacco products and
chemicals. In all four, particularly
utilities, corporate bigness has been
pronounced, especially In the power
field.
The National Bureau of Economic
Research, while concluding that size
definitely was related to earning
power during the depression, also
noted that in the absence of adequate
statistical information, I'VE can not
assume that the same relative posi-
tions of large and small concerns
existed in 1929"

The genius OF SalZourg Is so solo
on the gelatine medium and so con-
vinced of the readiness of the Ameri-
can public for pictures with serious
content that he has laid this program
before the brothers Warner for their
consideration:
Reinhardt would like to make
Goethe's "Faust"-ths story primarily,
with q background of some Of
Gounod's music. He would like his
friend Greta Garbo to play the role
of Marguerite. He would like the
studio to get Fredric March for the
young lover and he would choose Bella
Lugosi for his Mephistophele. He
would regard this picture as a thing
for actors and actresses rather than
a musical vehicle, but the music of
the opera would provide background
throughout.
Reinhardt would like to make the
production Of "Faust" in color If the
studio can give him the tremendous
appropriation such an ambitious plan
involves.
Greta Garbo is a personal friend OF
Reinhardt, and he is one OF the few
directors for whom she would care To
leave Metro lot, on lending basis
Knowing Reinhardt's caution in diplo-
matte matters of this kind, and
knowing Garbo's reluctance to be
mentioned in any affiliation which she
has not approved, it may be regarded
as pretty certain that Reinhart and
Garbo discussed the probabilities of
this picture thoroughly before he
made formal presentation of his plans
to Warner Bros.
Before the picture Faust" would
be begun, Reinhardt plans to stage a
legitimate production in New York
for Warmers, using in it some actors
he will bring back from the Continent.
1t will be either Twelfth Night" THE
Merry wives of Windsor" "As You
Like It" or "a Comedy of Errors. "
And still later this production will be
made into gelatine by Reinhardt.
Warmers, whose theatrical venture.
Three Men on Horse" was so sue
cessful last year, will work more and
more in legitimate fields, ultimately
converting their own productions into
screen material.
And over at Sam Goldwyn's studio
Rachael Crothers has put over an idea
which directors have fought for
without luck-for some time now.
"Splendor," the picture for which
Rachael Crothers will assume entire
production responsibility. will be re-
hearsed for a solid week on the set
without cameras and lights, and pre-
cisely as a play would be rehearsed,
before the technical staff for the
picture Is brought into action.
Rachael Crothers is making this
picture on a straight percentage basis,
as is done in the legitimate theater.
