vealed that in 1912 the movie in

Miss Colbert, by receiving $780,
600 fer salary from Paramount Pic
lures, Inc, in 1912, placed fifth
ahead of Fred MacMurray and Blng
Crosby, screen actors who placed
sixth and seventh, respectively.
The list published is only a pre-
liminary one. There will be supple
mentary ones before the END OF
1914 which will change the current
lineup of top people. For example
this list does not include Louis 3.
Mayer, production chief OF Los VIZ

nation with top stipend OF nearly
81 600 900 a year.

ARE YOU Az ACTIVE
NEMBERl
by Margaret Welch
Are you an active member.
The kind that would be missed
Or are you just contented
That your name is on the list
DO you attend the meetings
And minFle with the crowd?
Or do YOU just stay At home
And crab both long and loud.
Do you take an active part
To help the club along?
or are you satisfied 10 be
The kind that just belong.
Do you ever 20 10 visit
A member who is sick
Or leave the work for just few,
And talk about the clique.
There is quite a program SEIZED
uled
Which means success II done
And II can be accomplished
With the help OF everyone.
SO attend the club meeting reg
ularly.
And help with hand and heart.
Don't be just a member.
But take an active part.
Think this over, Member.
Am ! right or wrong,
Are you an active member.
or do you just belong.
