Norma Shearer Due
$4,000 a Year From
Estate, Banker Says
Star Did Not Get 5000, 900
Bonus From M-G-M,
loew Witness Says
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-A Los
Angeles banker declared yesterday
that Norma Shearer, rather than
receiving millions from the estate of
her husband, the late Irving THAI
berg, will get an income of only
about $4,000 a year.
Furthermore, said H. M. Bardt,
vice president of the Bank of Amer
lea, Miss Shearer did not receive
100000 bonus for signing her pres
ent contract with Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer Pictures, as has been charged
In court. Any such payments, If
made, must go to Thalberg's estate,
he said.
Mr.. Bardt made his statement
after testifying briefly in the $780,
100000 accounting suit filed in Fed
eral Court by minority stockholders
against Loew's, Inc, M-G-M hold
ing company. He explained his
banks activities as co-eXecutor and
co-trustee of the Thalberg estate.
His statement was the second of
the day denying that fabulous profits
had been taken from M-G-M.
. Nicholas M. Schenck, annoyed by
lawyers question, said in court,
With all the money you accuse me
of making, I've had to borrow money
to pay my taxes the last two years"
In his written statement, Bardt
said that a percentage bonus being
paid to the Thalberg estate up to
December 81 of this year was based
on contracts. which Thalberg made
with Loew's before his death and
was not gratuity to Miss Shearer.
Under the will of her late hus-
band" Bardt said, "she will receive
the income from one-third of the
entire estate during her life. Present
estimates are this will amount
to approximately $4,000 a year.
The remainder of the estate,
after payments of substantial sums
to Thalberg's parents, sister and
other relatives, is to be divided into
two parts and held in trust for the
benefit of his two children. Irving,
Jr., and Katherine, until they reach
the age of 35 years
Bardt emphasized that Miss
.Shearer was merely an employe of
Loew's and that in signing her pres
ent M-G-M contract she sacrificed
a six-picture offer from Samuel
Goldwyn for s250O00 per picture and
a percentage of profits.
