Hollywood, May S1.-A tiny
spark that flames into genius is
lacking in Hollywood's score of
featured kids" little band which
barely fails to achieve stardom.
Handsome, talented boys, love-
ly,. gifted girls, they have been de-
MED that indefinable, elusive some
thing that recketed such notables
as Jackie Cooper and Shirley Tenn
pie to the heights.
But they're still the envy of
the hundreds of extras who cling
to the fringes of the film profess
sion and the countless thousands
of others, outside the gates and
clamoring to enter. For these
featured kids" often play prom
inent roles and the salaries they
command average $4,000 annually.
1t is a constantly changing pro-
cession, as new luminaries fall
into line and old ones step aside
into obsecurity. The current list
includes such dimihutive aces as
''Spanky" Mcfarland, Freddie
Bartholomew, Dickie Moore, Vir-
ginia Weidler, Mickey Rooney and
David Jack Holt.
OF virtually equal rank with
this sextet are Jackie Searle, Lois
Kent. Jimmy Fay, Billy Lee, Jane

Some Are Breadwinners

Several of these little cinema
lites literally have brought
home the bacon by their film sue
cesses. A number of the contract
| players are the breadwinners of
their families, this list including
"Spanky", David Jack Holt, and
Lois Kent.
Fathers of others help keep the
pantry filled and tuck away their
children's earnings for education
and later days of possible need.
The non-contract featured play
ers are from families that neces-
sarily have other sources of in
come. They work far fewer weeks
than do the children, tied up by
the film companies, sometimes
only seven or eight weeks in the
year at 500 a week. At best
they are unlikely to net more
than $500 annually.
Three favorites who are not
under contract are Dickie Moore,
Jackie Scarf, and Dickie Walters.
Dickie Moore demands and gets as
much as $3.50 a week for his serv-
es; the other pair about half as
much.

Fred lie Bartholomew, who came

juvenile title role in "David Cop

or three motion pictures, he

henceforth there will be no ex-

the law until someone else is kill
