L___ . --——■ 1 ■ ■ ■ 1 " ■ s □I, JOLSON. starred annually by th« Shuberts In a big musical production, has a contract which guarantees him 40 weeks' work each season at a weekly salary of (5,000. In addition, he has a half Interest In tbs* profits of every play In which he appears, and this Interest continues after he has left the play and some minor performer has as sumed his role on tour. He has a contract with a producer of phono graph records, under the provisions of which that company Is bound to produce not less than 24 Jolson records each year, and to pay the comedian not less than (10,000 In royalties on each record. Thue the two Items of stage salary and phonograph royalties give Jolson an assured minimum Income of (440, 000 a year. The Item of theatrical profits, In addition to salary. Is not as large as one might anticipate. The original Jolson productions are so costly to equip and operate that "show profits" are comparatively small. Undoubtedly Jolson receives a share of the author’s royalties on songs which he makes famous and this Is eminently fair. Jolson does more for the song than the author ■does, so far as the business of achiev ing success for It Is concerned. When he has "worked over" a song to give It the fullest benefit of his peculiar nnd original singing style, It often contains touches which the author and composer never thought of, and these are the touches which lift It to its unusual success. It Is entirely conservative to estimate Jolson’s in come from song royalties at $25,000 a year. Hia total Income cannot, therefore, be less than (515,000 t year. Jolson is a good business man and not a foolish spender. Undoubtedly he has accumulated a large fortune and will add vastly to It before his extraordinary vogue as a tinging comedian le ended. He ha# but one extravagant habit—betting on horse races. He frequently wagers large sums, hut the bookmakers say that h# wins more than he loses. "Believe me," said Bookmaker I>eo Mayer one day after Jolson had won a very large wager, "whenever Jolson bets you can be sure that the horse is at the an^hoeis ; trying, that It has a good chance to Win, and that Jolaon haa got at leaat a shade the beat of the price.” William Strong for Art.

Mr. Farnum I* well known among old-time theatergoer* for hi* appear ance In “Ben Hur.” Bill Hart played In the same company. It la not necessary any more for William Farnum to engage in any sort of labor, he having amassed a fortune of something more than $1,000,000, chiefly from hi* film work.

It seems the great est of all the American directors can finance his film productions with ease In every important country abroad, but always finds difficulty In doing so in the 1'nlted States.

Alice haa been making Intermittent appearances on the screen of late, having become somewha t domesti cated. However, she haa promised to appear regularly in the future, and aa an indication of the revolutionary mood she la In haa bobbed her hair, the latter operation being remarkably successful. Camera Missed It. An English picture producer is making a series of one-reel films to be called "Fighta Thro' the Ages.” He is going to start with David and Goliath and run right down to Demp sey and Flrpo. The meeting between Joe Beckett and Carpentier la omitted as the producer points out that It was no fight. Aa a matter of fact he claimed to have tried to get some slow motion pictures of the battle, but the English champion kissed the can vas so quickly that it was Impossible, even with a super-speed camera. "His Hour." by Elinor Glyn. will be produced by T.ouls Mayer. Elfhor already has seen "Three Weeks," "Six Days" and "Her Great Moment" filmed. She still has the seconds left.

We were over on Pola Negri's set, Just rub bering around, and Pola had on a dress that was made out of fake pearls—there little hollow beads, you know. While we were there she was doing a scene with Bob Frazer, her new hero. It was a figit scene. Bob got rough. They rehearsed It seven times while we were there. Every time Bob swung Pola around she shed a peck of beads. And Just when it got interesting somebody called us ifir. long, laing .Ago. Talking about young men trying to get’along In Hollywood, there's Bob Fraser, who Is Pola Negri's new lead ing man. Bob can wear a drew suit now. even when he's not acting, which Is certainly an advancement. One time when he was trouptng with a little one-hoss stock company out of Boston, the manager came around one night and said h* couldn't pay sal aries. It was th* custom for the management to psv the hotel bills, too. and they’d been ther* a week and Bob figured he was struck pretty. So h* dropped hi* clothes out th*. window, leaving his trunk, slid down a water *pout and walked to the next town, where ha got a Job washing dishes. After a while ha got back to Boaton and met the manager of the stranded show. They were talking about It and Bob told of leaving hit trunk. "You're a nut." aaid the manager, and pulled out receipts showing he had paid the hotel bills two weeks In advance.

Her* a little while ago everybody was hollering because we hadn't had any rain out this way. And some towns were figuring on hiring a bird named Hatfield, who guarantees to make It rain for so much per rain. And it was such a tough situation that nobody ever knew that the mov lea wanted rain, too—that la, aome of them did. There waa a troupe making a opery named “Code of the Sea,” and they were laying out In the ocean on boats waiting for a storm. Jacqueline I-o gan was there, and Rod LaRocque. And they waited and waited, but they got nary a storm. And then a couple days before Het Held waa set to do hie etuff, all et once It started In and stormed and rained something fierce, and the troupe got Its storm stuff and every body was happy except Rainmaker llat'fleid. That Would Be Sad. A pres# •gent send* us this story; “A big, handsome man knocked on the door of the publicity office, and shyly entered. “ ‘Mr. Publicity Man.' aa!d ha apolo getically, ‘I read In the papere that I am the great Swedish director; that I am one of the greatest director* of Europe. Won't you please try to keep such statements out of the papers? I wish auch extravagant things wouldn't be printed.’ "The publicity man swooned. After he had been revived with a pulmotor and mimeograph he explained, Vic tor Seastrom. the great Swedish di rector, picked up hit hat and sadly walked out. And the publicity man wrote this story." it's a good etory. isn't It? The only trouble is some editor is liable to take It seriously. Has a Reason. A terrible thing has happened to poor old Jimmy Cruxe. He is taking his work serlouslv The reason for it is that he is di recting Betty Compton, whom he happens to be engaged to wed as th.s Is written. We used to go around on Jimmy's set and he would be rolling one cigaret after another and talking to half a dozen friends at once and mak ing a picture like a whirlwind. But we went around the other day and he was directing Betty, and he was so darn particular to have every thing Just right, and he was squint ing at the lights and talking to him self and rubbing his heed, and ail that. And he never even knew a bunch of his friends waa standing bark of the camera. But the great est sign of. his deep mental distress was that he was even forgetting to roll cigarets. 1 soles* Occupations. Mickey Neilan has Inherited Abdul. Abdul, strange to say. is a Turk. You would never guesa It from his name. He used to be a fighter and wrestler. Still more recently, and for some years post, he has been Doug Fairbanks' personal trainer, sparring partner and target. Doug went to Europe. Mickey inherited Abdul. When Ab went on th* Neilan pay roll. the idea was that he was to keep Mickey in good physical condition, get hgn out bright and early every morning and see that he exercised. The third morning Mickey devel oped appendicitis He was giad of it Nothing on e rth could be half as painful as Mickey after Abdul got through working him out. Getting Mickey to work out is something like picking spikes out of hardwood logs with fleece-lined glovea on. Sam Ooldwyn says he will produce no more original atorles. Sounds more tike a threat than a promise. 13 y 1*1*1 w 1 This Week—Ending Friday Geo. Barr McCutcheon’s Famous Story “The Man From Brodney’s” With i.
