PROFITLESS STARS TAKE PAY CUTS

By PAUL HARRISON HOLLYWOOD, May 10. — Although openly defending its own prestige and some of its “prestige” stars, the motion picture industry secretely is not displeased by the recent blast from a group of exhibitors against a number of high-pay, low-profit players. Nation-wide attention was directed to a statement signed by the Independent Theater Owners’ Association, which came right out in print and characterized Mae West, Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Katharine Hepburn, Kay Francis, and Marlene Dietrich “as box office poison.” The argument was that these people have become less popular with American fans, but have been drawing increasingly large salaries on long-term contracts. Alleged results: Increased costs of production, increased rates for rentals to the theaters, but lower box office grosses, Now “poison” is a naughty word in Hollywood. Hearing the screams of some of the agents and managers you'd have thought that each of their clients was Snow White and all seven of the dwarfs,

Studios Don’t Mind

Yet the studios themselves are not protesting or offering boxoffice statistics to refute the exhibitors’ charges. For months producers have been trying to reduce star salaries. The fact is that Paramount is taking bows for having dropped the contracts of the Misses Dietrich and West. REO likewise is being congratulated for parting from Miss Hepburn, It is fairly common knowledge that Miss Francis, alreadv demoted to B pictures, will go off the Warner Brothers’ payroll in September. These facts would seem to core roborate, in some degree, the “poison” diagnosis of the group of exhibitors. It also is true that Greta Garbo now has no contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. When she returns the studio expects to cast her in a comedy as relief from heavy drama. Joan Starting Anew Most of Hollywood has tisen to the defense of Joan Crawford, who also was listed among the “poison” stars. Of her last five pictures, none was highly succesesful, yet the

lowest gross of all was $990,000 for g

the “The Bride Wore Red.”

America’s most popular stars, according to boxoffice figures, are

shown above.

With their salaries, they are:

1. Clark Gable, $5000 a week. 2. Shirley Temple, $125,000 and bonus

a picture. week. ture. $5000 a week.

3. Robert Taylor, $5000 a week. 4. William Powell, $5000 a 5. Jane Withers, $2500 a week. 6. Gary Cooper, $150,000 a pic7. Bing Crosby, more than $100000 a picture, 9. Sonja Henie, $100,000 a picture.

begin a new career in Here's the story: Recently a prominent actors’ agent, M. C. Levee, invited Louis B. Mayer to hear some operatic and popular recordings made by a “new” girl singer. Mayer listened, pronounced the singing “marvelous.” Levee then identified the girl as Joan Crawford, who has been studying veice seriously with the idea of getting out of ingenuish roles into substantial stardom as a singer. Result is her new contract.

Katie May Be Scarlett

When Hepburn came to Hollywood she signed a five-year contract with RKO, with options and increases terminating at $100,000 per picture. At option time, recently. she was receiving $85.000 and would have gone into the top bracket if a

celluloid.

Her alacrity of departure, together with some other -circumstances, has convinced certain RKO executives that Miss Hepburn has agreed to be Scarlett O'Hara when David Selznick and Director George Cukor get around to making “Gone With the Wind.” Dietrich had one more picture to make under her contract with Paramount. But the financial nose-dive taken by “Angel” sent executives scurrying to her with an offer of a cash settlement and cancellation of the remaining commitment. She settled. \ She naw is reported to have signed for a picture at 20th-Fox-— with Ronald Coleman in “The Rains Came.” She definitely is under contract to Columbia pictures for at least one film, and with an option

| ever, has dwindled to $100,000.

Mae West is out of a job. While strutting for Paramount she was paid $150,000 a picture, plus a percentage, plus a salary as a writer. “She Done Him Wrong” and "I'm No Angel,” made in 1933, and “Belle of the 90s,” in 1934, made a lot of money. After those her box office appeal declined. Kay Francis declares that when her Warner Brothers contract expires in September she will marry and retire. The studio has given her its blessing. The exhibitors group, in its message to the industry, called attention to the large profits made by economically produced series pice tures and westerns. “Does that mean,” asked a Metro executive, “that they expect us to teach Garbo to Nde a broncho and strum a guitar?”

Porter May See His Comedy Here

Two forces should draw Cole Porter to Indianapolis on May 23, over whatever protests his two recently fractured legs may entitle him to make. ' One will be Indiana's celebration of Cole Porter Day, according to Governor Townsend's proclamation and the Indianapolis Civic Theater's elaborate preparations. The other will be a chance to see his new musical comedy, “You Never Know,” on English’s stage. The Peru-born Hoosier composer already has seen the show, but that was in the confines of his apartment atop the Waldorf-Astoria. Clifton Webb, Lupe Velez, ‘Libby Holman and the other 35 cast members recently went through a performancs for Mr. Porter who viewed it from a wheel chair. It is expected he

Mr. Porter himself is coming back to the “legit” after a sojourn in Hollywood. The musical score for “Rosalie” was the result, Miss Velez hasn't been behind the footlights for anything more important than personal appearances since “Strike Me Pink,” and Miss Holman has been in retirement for many years. Even Mr. Webb, though he has fought shy of the movies, made his last appearance in straight drama in the Theater Guild's “And Stars Remain.” Judging by reports from Boston, Washington and other points in the try-out, the public is glad to see

Pinch-Hitting Pianist Stars At Concert

Bomar Cramer Fills In for Cellist in Maennerchor Windup.

By JAMES THRASHER Pinch hitting at last night's Maennerchor concert in the Athenaeum, Bomar Cramer hit the musical equivalent of a ninth-in-ning home run before the society's | last audience of the season.

Illness prevented the advertised appearance of Louise Essex, the admired Indianapolis cellist, and robbed Maennerchor guests of an American premiere of Gaspar Cassado’s cello sonata. But the gifted and dependable local pianist rose to the occasion in excellent style. Mr. Cramer admitted that he had not “played a piece through to the end” since his appearance with the Indianapolis Symphony five weeks ago. Furthermore, he was performing last evening on nine hours’ notice. Yet he delivered two groups of solos with composure and telling effect. And that, after all, is an acid test of a soloist’s mettle.

Plays Brahms Group

After the chorus had begun ils season's farewell with “Es Zog der Maienwind zu Thal,” by Sturm-Biel, | and Marser's “Der Wald,” Mr. |

Cramer was heard in the Bach- | Tausing Toccata and Fugue in D Minor and a Brahms group which | included an Intermezzo and Capric- | cio each from Opus 76 and Opus 119. We sometimes forget that this Tausing transcription, one of the | earlier Bach arrangements for piano, still can be compelling music. It has passed, for the most part, into the irreverent hands of students. But Mr. Cramer was able to | strike sparks from it once again, and | lent it a new freshness. To the] Brahms pieces he brought the warmth, finesse and broad design which he is able to give this master's music. On his second appearance Mr. Cramer played Rachmaininoff’s G Sharp Minor Prelude and the turbulent Etude Tableau in E Flat Minor. After that came a threesome of Ravel compositions which, it is well known, the pianist does well. They were the “Oiseaux Triste,” “Ondine” and the “Alborada del Gracioso.”

Handles Acoustics

Mr. Cramer managed the Athenaeum’s awkward acoustical problefs as well as any pianist could. At | times the auditorium roared like 8 giant sea shell with reverberating tone, but apparently that is a condition beyond a performer’s control. At any rate neither acoustics nor last-minute notice could detract | much from the deep pleasure which this artist almost invariably gives. | The chorus’ other two groups in a | slightly compressed program included Kloepfer's “Ganz still Zuweilen” and “Auf der Lueneburger Heide,” by Kirchl; Purcell’'s “Thou Knowest, Lord,” ‘Sea Fever,” by Andrews and Grieg's “Land Erkennung.” Their singing wgs marked, as it usually is, by rich and imposing {one, wide dynamic range and, perhaps most important, the Maennerchor’s traditional spirit of enjoyment and good fellowship that finds ils way into the music. Karl Reckzeh, the venerable and well-loved director, presided with his accus- | tomed vigor and sound musical | judgment. | It has been a successful and enjovable Maennerchor season from | the listener's viewpoint. This year's | local soloists have given perform- | ances that redounded to their own and the community's credit and to the society's good judgment.

FRANCHOT SINGS

Franchot Tone sings cowboy songs, his favorite being “Blood on the | Saddle,” which he sang in the stage production of “Green Grow the Lilacs.”
