A recent account of wliat movie
•:• star players get for their work, is
;•:• given in an article in the last issue
>j; of ttie "Photoplay Magazine.” The
:•: part of the article in reference to
:•: their salaries is as follows:
•:• The top price paid in 1915 for the
services of a star for a single picture
was that given Miss Billie Burke
B $10,000 for Peggy. If required five
weeks to film that play, so Miss
Burke drew $8,000 a week. In addi
tion her contract called for a ward
robe thal 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
gently Miss Burke has signed a con
tract for $120,000 to play the lead In
a series, the biggest amount of money
ever offered for the services of a
single person for a motion picture
Prior to that time the year's record
was held by Miss fleraldine Farrar,
who received approximately $5,000 a
week for eight weeks' screen work.
■ but in that time she appeared in three
• photoplays, so the Lasky people got
- more out of Farrar than Ince got out
of Burke. In addition, Farrar had a
I
• private car both ways, a bungalow
• in Hollywood and all living expense
while on the coast.
: No high salary story is complete
: without reference to the two head
•Iliners among screen stars. Mary Pick
: j ford and Charley Chaplin. Miss Pick
: ford, 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 plr
:i turn in which she appears, which
i brings her yearly income up to sorne
: think like $150,000.
: Chaplin’s year with the Kssanay has
• been a fruitful one, tts he netted
something like $175,000 during that
time, his salary of $1,500 a week hav
ing been augmented by a bonus of
$10,000 at the completion of each pic
ture. It is said that Kssanay made
more than $2,000,000 from the Chap
lin pictures alone, so that the amount
he received does not seem large in
proportion.
