WELL-PAID STAGE MANAGERS.

Directors of Motion Picture Companies with Large Incomes. The stage directors of motion-picture companies are the highest salaried stage directors in existence, says Success. There are four In this country who receive salaries from SIO,OOO to $15,000 a year and commissions on every foot of exposed film turned out. These men direct the work of ths actors through megaphones. They do not suggest words or lines to their people, but suggest the "business" which is just about to come, always keeping in mind that a photographic result is the only thing to be gained. The actors do not “make up” as they would to withstand the glare of the footlights, but, instead, accentuate the eyes to an alarming degree because so much depends on their expression.
