Twomey went to the Hudson

where deep snowdrifts may not

In the north, Hudson Bay

pride and jealousy which previ-

competitive spending. If Goldie
Glider wanted TO prove that she
was a bigger star than Sandra
Silver, she bought an emerald
bracelet twice as wide as San

FEW RESERVES
That's all over now, unless
they dip into savings. And you'd
be amazed by how few peop,e
in Hollywood have any cash re-
serves. The big shots all have
business managers, real estate
investments, and untouchable
annuities. Many of them bor-
roWed money to pay their in
come taxes this year. So there'll
be no more of living up to posi-
tions of prominence. The star
who earns S350,000 this year will
be no better off than the fading
actress who receives $4,000,
when their taxes are paid they'll
both have $4,000 for spending
money.
Many big homes have staffs
Of servants whose wages add up
to more than $4,000. Some of
these will be closed; others will
have whole wings shut off. One
high salaried producer is said to
have exclaimed, Nov l can kick

Main thing that's worrying the

Undoubtedly it would if actors

losing their popularity by not

consider themselves over-work-
