he gets 25 per cent of the profits
of his pictures, plus a $50,000
bonus for each one. That prob
ably explains why he makes only
one a year-taxes.
Capra is head Of the Screen
Directors Guild, and also preSi-
dent of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences. The
latter organization is split wide
open by a bitter fight over what
some of the membership views
as producer control" War may
cause the Academy to disband.
MAKES BELL RINGERS
AS spokesman for the direc-
tors, Mr.. Capra would like all
of the top flight picture bosses
to have the first say about cut
ting features they direct. Capra
is the absolute dictator on any
product that bears his name
label, but many other directors
have to yield on cutting" and
are forced frequently to start
pictures before a script is ready.
Assistant directors, he claims,
are the forgotten men on the
payroll, and he champions their
cause, among other reforms.
To cite the Capra hit pic
lures would include almost
everything he has made since
he started with Screen Snap
shots in 1921.
Easier is to name the features
made under his last Columbia
contract, which helped the
brothers Cohn to become mil.
lionaires, and Capra to be cited
as the No. / director for all the
world: Submarine" Plight"
Lady For a Day" Broadway
Bill, "It Happened One Night"

The story concerns an old
