The same service today begins at $35 minimum and goes from there to a point where a risk- taking stunt man _ sometimes) makes several hundred dollars in adjustments every day he works. } Nearly everyone who watches} them work seems to agree they | earn their money. Price ceilings have had little ef-} fect upon the rising cost of | screen death, reports Fred Messen- | ger, a casting director at War- | ners, and the man who handles most of the adjustments there. ‘8 8 What Shakespeare calls “a nec- ssary end” is individual and dif- | ferent in each scene in every pic ture in which violent death is shown: Edge of Darkness,” says ‘Messenger, involved more ad- | justments than any other recent | Picture, On several days, from 40} ; to 50 men who had been “killed” ‘in that story of occupied Norway i were paid off from $35 to $200} | each. The $5 adjustment for a violen' | sereen demise was about the low: est ever actually paid although at! one time,.there was a basic rate) that called for $2.50 additional pay | for falling dead one’s own length | | in a battle scene. That was a fic- tion, however, according to Mes- jsenger, and few extras and no | stunt men have worked for so lit- | tle since the very early days of ‘motion pictures. es 6 8 | | | | In this respect, only, perhaps, the extra or stunt man has a dis- | tinct advantage over the star or} | featured player, who gets no extra pay or adjustment for dying in a | picture. Errol Flynn manages to live through “Edge of Darkness” and so is not involved in the high "cost of screen death but Helmut Dantine, who dies, and thereby pleases his audiences, got one cent extra, we his salary for appan- éntly e papowe his own fife. ae No adjustments are made for burial scenes since it is obvious that no real players are ever ac- | tually. buried on land or at sea in pictures. The dummies serve a good purpose for such scenes and require no paymaster_ service. Only real people, taking: real chances, are paid extra for violent death on’ the stheen.
