Charlie Chaplin has signed a new
contract with a film company and.
his salary is now one million dollars
a vear Surely that is some re
muneration. and although we may
have some doubts about the man’s
acting being worth it intrinsically,
there can be no doubt in the minds
of the managers that they will make
money upon his films.
The people will pay to see Chap
lin. and that is why he is getting
the money. No one will pretend
for an instant that as an actor i
Chaplin is so far more excellent i
than his compeers that, he is de
serving of the great pay which he is
receiving. In fact that has nothing
to do with it. His acting is wanted ,
and because it is wanted it is mark
etable at a high pri< e.
The standard of remuneration in
art is not different irom the stand
ard of remuneration in other lines.
It is not what is useful and needed,
but what is wanted that will be ob
tain a ready sale It is not what
will result in a mental or physical |
improvement, but what will appeal
to the popular fancy and supply the
demand that will bring the big
money.
We sc-- this in music and song
writing in identically the same way.
Many masterpieces remained known
only to the few, but they have re
mained none the less always wel
come to music lovers. Such songs
as "After the Ball’’ however were
productive of immense fortunes.
Over t wo million copies of the song
referred to have been sold. It is
now forgotten.
A periodical medley oi flash and
glitter and no substance called i it
Bits in London made its owner
Ne .vnes a millionaire. Lord Nortli
, iiife SO much in the public reports
i.,, v and then, became rich through
the most mediocre publication called
Answers. They struck the public
fancy and the public paid for it.
No one, even without affectation,
will pretend that Chaplin's acting
has anything in it but a modernist
adaptation of the harlequin or the
flown. But because he excites a
laugh, one can cheerfully pay to see
his films.
The huge pay o! Chaplin is gett
ing will by some be thought inequit
able But is it more inequitable
than the huge revenues that ceme
into the Rockefeller treasury by r- a
non of their holdings? We trow not.
K\en the most devoted to pro
prietary rights will hardy
«iaiin that the Rockefeller
process ot c topon clipping is
anv more entitled to high remunera
tion than the process ot appearing
before a camera and going through
certain antics which are ultimately
intended to make a nation smile.
It is ;» fact that when comparisons
of this kind are instituted the only
truth that is positively evidenced
is that it is the toiler, the wealth
producer the maker ot utilities who
i- underpaid and who is not equit
ably rewarded for his toil.
it would be a mistake to under
rate the work done by clever artists
in any realm. Their work is of in
calculable benefit to the world, be
. ause of the fa* t no less that their
work is not to be measured quanti
tatively. But the pleasures that fol
low the contemplation of clever
works of art. in music, painting, li
terature or the drama is a vciy
genuine one no doubt, and ore
which is too much denied the word
ers.
And the real reason why certain
actors whose only faculty is the
power to raise a laugh after some
coarse fashion become popular is be
cause the toilworn masses have li
terally no time to cultivate anything
higher. Hence the simplest pic
tures. the plainest musical concep
tions, the most ordinary melodies,
the coarsest and most infantile
movie conceptions obtain much po
pularity that may seem extraordi
nary.
This itsf-lf is a reflection upon the
system. It has made slaves of the
Lamp of Toil all mankind that have
to work for wages. They have
neither the leisure nor the oppor
tunity for a more esthetic culture,
and they are contented with refrains
and movies and ballads and novels
that raise a smile when it should be
more worthy of the indignation of
any thinking person that their
brains could have become so atro
phied by disuse.
The vistas that open up before
the person who has trust that a :
socialist system will ultimately sup
ersede capitalism are not all vision
ary. Nor is the least of the crimes
of capitalism that which has be
numbed the minds of so many of
the workers. But with the advance
in education and the earnest work
of agitation discontent against pre
sent conditions is growing and
growing will overthrow this night
of slavery and the bondage of the
mind and sense it entails.
Wasn't it Mills that said better
a Socrates dissatisfied than a pig
satisfied, and that blessed dissatis
faction with things as they are.
which refuses to hug the chains that
bind the masses, is the enlightening
factor of our present so-called civili
zation.
Rightlv men refuse to be contented
under an exploitatice system. Right
ly they refuse to accept conditions
today as the last word in progress;
rightly they refuse to stop at such
milestones of progress as the wel
fare and social worker would have
us believe were to be the end of
concerted effort.
There can be no contentment
without industrial freedom, and that
bringing with it leisure and oppor
tunity will bring us to a land of art
where not the honest effort of the
down, nor the mediocre effort of
the n Idl—r. nor the artistic atrocity
of the comic supplement, nor the
raucous attempt of the balladist
will be the last word in ,.rr..
Till then we may have to pay big
salaries Sundays for religion, big
wages to Chaplins a; tie movies,
great roy Ities to llie Coiiens in the
songs and man lies an 1 ragtime, .List
is we arc compelled to pav tribute
to the economic magnates that we
are allowed to live.
It all should urge the workers,
the real mainstays of modern socie
ty. and civilization, to establish a
condition of society where neither
will they be the poor blood drenched
pawns of the battlefield in war, nor
the ragged and hungry louts of the
workships during times of peat e.
That is our portion today. What
| pleasures the workers enjoy they
j steal from the time supposed to he
devoted to their masters' service.
! That is the lot that lias been cast
for them that they should take their
1 pleasures coarsely and quickly and
in undigested courses that will
satiate for the time and be quickly
forgotten in the purge of the day’s
; toil and the misery of mechanical
labor. So today we have canned
music and the silent drama; tokens
of the industrial slavery of mind
' and body which takes its pleasures
j hastily and also under mechanical
| conditions of cut and dried formula.
I The hoard of censors will see that
we enjoy neither too much that
which will excite our senses, nor too
much that will inspire our discon
tent. In the goodness of their
mastery they will see that while as
lambs we may he led to the slaught
er of the workshops, but that as
sheep too we will not be allowed to
be deceived by the imaginary wolves
in sheep's clothing. They approve
Chaplin and all is well.
