WHAT MOVIE
STARS GET
ARE THEY WORTH THE PRICE ?
IS THE QUESTION
A recent account of what movie
star players get for their work, is
given in an article in the lest is
sue of the “Photoplay Magazine.”
Tlie part of the article in refer
ence to their salaries is as follows:
Tho top price paid in 1915 for
the services of a star for a single
picture was that given Miss Billie
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
> ailed for a wardrobe that cost “no
Vss than $5,000,” a bungalow, auto
mobile, servants, etc., at a ost of
"not less than $1,000 a month,”
and other concessions. Recently
Biss Burke has signed a contract
for $120,000 to play the lead in a
| serial, the biggest amount of money
j ever offered for the services of a
! single person for a motion picture.
Prior to that time the year’s re- j
cord was held by Miss Geraldine j
Farrar, who received approximately |
$5,000 a week for eight weeks' j
screen work, but in that time she
appeared in three photoplays, so
the Lasky people got more out of
Farrar than Ince did out of'Burke.
In addition Farrar had a private
car both ways, a bungalow in Hol
lywood, and all living expenses
while on the coast.
No high salary story is complete
without reference to the two head
liners among screen stars, Mary
Pickford and Charley Chaplin. Miss
Pickford, as has been mentioned
many times, draws a salary of
$2,000 a week. It has not been
mentioned, however, that she gets
a bonus for every picture in which
she appears, which brings her year
ly income up to something like
$150,000.
Chaplin’s year with the Essanay
has been a fruitful one, as he net
ted something like $175,000 during
that time, hi3 salary of $1,500 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 Chaplin pictures alone,
so that the amount he received
does not seem large in proportion.

SOME VERY PECULIAR
FREAKS OF FASHION ;
In nine cases out of ten fashions
aie borr.. not mad?, and they can
often be traced to the influence of
1 acsin* events. It would seem
that the short full skirts which are
now in vogue originated with the :
Russian ballet which has been so '
|i pui?r of late, in same way
as ’ho tight sku-js followed the ,
ra.!n for Oriental play; a.-d dances. I
At one time elaborately worked
and hand embroidereu amuses wore j
the vogue. Then machines were
so erfected that ms.vnne embroid
ered blouses out rivaled the hand
work and fashion experts retali
ated by designing *1. i vs just as
plain as they could be made.
1 ne fashion for uncurled feath
er' ..as the result o’ a wet day.
.u'.’ed Ostrich feaipis were on
■suy hat,whe n, at some fashion
ue’e Faction, the rain descended
in tc-rents and every feather was
soon absolutely straight. Milliners
alyays alert for an idea, were
struck with the appearance of these
feathers, and uncurled ostrich
plumes became the demand.
The fashion for wearing ribbons
intermingled with curls piled on
the top of the head originated in
the reign of Louis XIV. of France.
The Duchess db Fontages was out
hunting with the King and Court
when a branch of a tree caught
her hair and pulled it down. With
quick resourcefulness she leaned
down, pulled off her ribbon garter,
and twister up her hair with it.
The King, noticing the pretty ef
fect, complimented her on her cann
ing coiffure,?, nd from that moment
the “Fantanges,”a s it was termed,
became the rage.
It cannot be denied that the
most of the extreme fashions ori
ginate with the stage, but the most
lasting fashions are due to royally.
Tho vogue for black and white, i
which has not yet died out, was !
the result of the death of King Ed- j
i ward.

(CURIOUS WAYS ANIMALS
TAKE FOR PROTECTION:
The life of animals and plants
is a continual struggle against sur- ‘
founding conditions,and the more i
closely a creature is studied in re- j
lation to its environment, the more
marvellously detailed seems its pro
tective armor. Against the heav
ier slings and arrows of fortune,
the attacks of stronger or sharper
toothed creatures, the defence is
usually obvious enough, a natural
ist points out.
The most direct and apparently
least successful fashion is an enor
mous development of external
I armor. The creatures become trans
formed into lumbering forts, scarce
able to drag themselves along.
Such today are a large number of
turtles, tortoises and shell-fish, and
the wreckage of extinct forms in
fossil-bearing rocks of every age
I shows how frequently and how un
successfully this method of armor
| plating has been adopted.
Quite apart from the heavy drain
upon the resources of the unimal to
produce the support this massive
defence, it is by no means so effi
cient as it would seem. An oyster
■or a scallop seems securely protect
I ed against those external enemies
| who attempt' crudely to break into
| the shell But throw a starfish into
j a tank in which scallops are resting
j apparently immovable in the bot
| tom mud. By smell or perchance
by sight, they recognize their
enemy, and with ungainly splash
ing leaps, like drunken butterflies
they attempt to flap their heavy
bodies to a secure spot. For the
starfish is able to conquer the shell
holding on to its surface by a
thousand sucker-like feet,he averts
bis stomach as a corrosive pad
against the shell, and soon reaches
the nutrient flesh. It is better to
| sally forth against the enemy than
to lie behind walls.
Many creatures defend them
selves more successfully by weap
ons of offence. Horn and hoof, teeth
and claws, invisible poisonous las
i soes, stings and dart and devices j
| almost innumerable, may serve !
I simply as defences.
Another method equally in vogue
with nature is the simple device of
running away. Sharpened sight,
smell and hearing act as sentinels
to warn fleet creatures when to fly
Others again escape danger by
avoiding it; they live under stones
or in caves, or they imitate sticks
or leaves or inanimate objects, so
that they avoid unpleasant attent
ions. More subtle are devices of
the creatures which naturally en
dowed with unpleasant flavors, ad
vertise their nauseous taste by the
brightest of colors. ‘“Regard my
orange and scarlet coat,” they
would seem to say to the lizard or
bird who was eyeing them hungrily
“I am like my bright colored bro
ther whom you ^wallowed yester
day. Pray remember how sick
he made you.” And thus a few die
for the race. Most subtle of all
are those who are not unpalatable
themselves, but simulate the ap
pearance of creatures that are
unpalatable.
