Mary Jealous of
Charlie Chaplin,
Declares Goldwyn
.Heard Comedian Drawing
$600,000 a Year, So De
^ manded $10,000 a Week
and Got It.
New York, May 2.—Professional
jealousy of Charlie Chaplin, caused
Mary Pirkford to demand $10,000 a
week in 1917, after she learned that
the comedian was drawing a salary
of $600,000 a yrar, it was declared by
Samuel tioldwyn, formerly head of
the Goldwyn Picture corporation.
Mr. Goldwyn testified before the
federal trade commission which is
eeee;ng 'o- determine if the Para
mount Interests control the motion
picture industry. Mr. Goldwyn said
that Miss Plckford's demands had
made it necessary for the Famous
Players-Lasky interests to charge
more for her pictures than could
be obtained under their contract with
Paramount. Thus came into existence
the Artcraft company, which later
added other stars, he said.
Mr. Goldwyn testified that after
the formation of the Goldwyn com
pany in 1917. great difficulty was
experienced in getting its pictures
exhibited in important Cities, due to
control of theaters by the Paramount
Famous Players Lasky interests and
the franchises of the Associated First
National. He said he was forced to
buy half interests in about 30 thea
ters, 18 of them being in Chicago
add vicinity.
Testimony that First National pic
tures was organized by 23 theater
owners having theaters in 27 large
cities in the United States, wns giv
en by S. L. Rothafel. its first pres
ident and now director of the Capitol'
heater here. He said the purpose of
^the Capitol theater was to give the
h**t possible showing for Goldwyn
films in order to increase the sale in
ot ter parts of the country.
