" B—6 SCREEN GUILD HEAD SEES SALARY CUTS Place to Chop Is at Top of Industry, Not Bottom, He Says. By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, April 11.—The Screen Guild, recently organized medium for the wedding of business and art on a | profit-sharing basis, raises its standard | At & time when conditions within the | motion picture industry are none too promising Yet this is the psychological moment for its birth, decla C. Levee founder and head of guild “There are two things vitally wrong with the picture business,” he said. “One 45 the old idea of top-heavy salaries for the top figures of the industry—the executives, directors, writers, stars. The other the overcapitalization of its theaters. “Mike” Levee, 43, is direct and con- cise in speech Sees Salary Reduction. He makes no secret of the fact that he came from the cloak and suit busi- ness in Los Angeles to pict It was to found the first comm studio in Hollywood with a partner whom he later bought out. Investing $10,000, he made a million. He has been executive manager at a major studio has been affiliated with the Motion Picture Academy since its inception, | and now is its president | “A reduction of salaries is bound to come.” he says. “The place to cut is at the top, not among the stenographers and secretaries and office clerks. The thought among the topnotchers is not ‘what am I worth?’ but ‘what am I get- ting?’” They are afraid that if once they accept a salary cut they will never be able to work back to their old figure. That's why we see people accustomed to $3000 a week remaining idle for months rather than work for $1,500. | How Guild Will Serve, } “That is one way the Screen Guild will serve. A director may be unwilling to accept a salary cut from his studio, but he will be glad to make a picture for the guild on a profit-sharing basis, his salary to be determined by the actual worth of his product.” Stars, writers and others on the crea- tive side of production also will shgge in the returns from each film. In overcapitalization of theaters the Screen Guild is not directly interested, It will have no theaters. United Artists will release its product “We're in no hurry to begin produc- tion,” Levee declares. “Our office rent and two salaries are our only overhead a negligible one. We are not going to make a picture until we are sure it will be a-good picture.” GOVERNOR HOLDS FINAL | CONFERENCE ON MOONEY | Calls Former Buperior Court .Yus~ tice to Discuss Pardon Application.
