Seating System Eases Minds of Patrons Expecting Phone Calls

in case you didn’t know it, there's no reason why you should miss your favorite picture at your favorite movie house just because youre

expecting a phone call.

Most of the neighborhood houses now have a seat location system. _ Originally: planned for doctors, nurses, railroad men and others on “call, it has been made available to everyone.

When you enter the theater you file your name “for call” with the doorman. The usher will note the seat he gives you and when you get your call he'll come and get you. There's no inconvenience to other customers caused by paging. - Many doctors are making a regular movie habit through this system. The movie house takes your name, the time you entered, seat number and date. The time is entered so if there should be a call four hours later the theater won’t waste time looking for you after you've gone. Most of the theaters Keep continuous records, so it’s a pretty good way to establish an alibi, too. #" o ” The days of the left-handed monkey wrench are still with us, only these days in the movie houses it's “film-condensers, filmstretchers and color-removers’— the latter for technicolor films. Recently a lad was sent on a vain quest to neighboring theaters for a color-remover. This gadget was so new that one theater manager thought it might exist and called up around the other theaters to try to locate one.

Report on Salaries May Confuse Fans

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 7.—Movie fans are going to be more bewildered than enlightened if they use the Treasury Department's list

to figure who's really who in Hollywood. For example, according to the

first batch of statistics from Washington, the highest-paid person in the entire picture industry in 1938 was Claudette Colbert, the most valuable actor was Warner Baxter and the top director was Roy Del Ruth. Such classifications, of course, simply don’t make sense, especially when you find the names of equally prominent and busier stars far down toward the bottom of the list, where they rub purses with mere tycoons of finance and captains of industry who scarcely know where their next yacht is coming from. Also, a considerable number of famous players are not mentioned at all, and this is an humiliating implication that they earned less in 1938 than the President of the United States. (His salary, $75,000, happens to be the minimum wage publicized by the Treasury.) » ” »

THE MOVIE INDUSTRY tries to assume an attitude of modesty in money matters, but its people, individually, have their pride. They fear that misinterpretation of the Treasury reports will give the. public a wrong scale of movie values, or else the conviction that Hollywood is plumb crazy. Miss Colbert worked busily and well in 1938, but her $301,944 can’t be called Movieland’s top when the salaries paid by Metro, R-K-O, and Warners have not even been announced. | In 193% the first, second, third and tenth largest salaries in the United States went to

And that, from Mr. Farrar’s viewpoint, was quite enough.

executives of Metro and its parent, Loew’s, Inc. Warner Baxter reached his peak earnings in 1938 as he neared the

end of an iron-clad, progressively increasing seven-year contract— an agreement, incidentally, which was signed before Fox Films became 20th Century-Fox. An unusual feature of it was a. straight, 52-week payoff, unlike current contracts which are written for 40 weeks each year. Mr. Baxter’s spectacular $279,807 might seem a bit excessive for the three undistinguished pictures he made in 1938. On the other hand, it was a small part of the millions he had earned for Fox and 20th-Fox during 11 loyal years as a top-ranking star. His contract now has lapsed, although he still has one film to make, due to a postponement early in 1939 because of ill health. When the returns are all in, it’s in cinch that Mr. Baxter's earnings will have been topped by Clark Gable’s, probably by Spencer Tracy's, and possibly by Douglas Fairbanks Jr.’s. ” ” ” ROY DEL RUTH, WHO earned $216,741, in 1938 by directing “My Lucky 'Star” (prefty good) and “Tail Spin” (pretty bad), is an example of such methods of valuation. In 1937, at Metro, Del
