SS 5 DRAWING
A recent account oi what movie j
star players get for their work, is
given in an article in the last is i
sue of the “Photoplay Magazine'
The part of the article in refer
ence to their salaries is as fol-;
lows:
The top price paid in 1915 for ,
the services of a star for a single
picture was that given Miss Bil-I
lie Burke—$40,000 for Peggy It,
required five weeks to film that
play, so Miss Burke drew $8,000
a week. In addition her contract
called for a wardrobe that cost
not less than $5,000, a bungalow,
automobile, servants, etc., at a
cost of not less than $1,000 a
month, and other concessions. Re
cently Miss Burke has signed a
contract for $120,000 to play the
lead in a series, the biggest
amount of money ever offered ior
ihe services of a single person for
a motion picture
Prior to that time the year's
cord was held by Miss Geral
dine Farrar, who received ap
proximately S5,ooo a week for
eight weeks’ screen work, but!
n that time she appeared in three
iotoplavs, so the Lasky people
got more out of Farrar than Ince
got out of Burke. In addition
arrar had a private car both
ways, a bungalow in Hollywood
and all living expenses while on
the coast.
No high salary story is complete1
without reference to the two
headliners among screen stars,
Mary Pickford, and Charley
Chaplin Miss Pickford, as has
been mentioned many times,
chaws a salary of $2,ooo a week.
It has not been mentioned, how
ever, that she gets a bonus for
every picture in which she ap
pears, whiclT brings her yearly
income up to something like
8150,000.
Charley Chaplin's year with
Essanay has been a fruitful one,
as he netted something like $175,
000 during that time, his salary
of 81,500 a week having been
augmented by a bonus of $10,000
at the completion of each picture.
It is said that Essanay made more
than $2,000,000 from the Chap
lin pictures alone, so that the
’amount he received does not seem
large in proportion,—Exchange.
