.After Weeks of Negotiations Signa
ture Goes on $260,000 Contract.
'New York, March 7. Charley
Chaplin,' the movie comedian, has just
signed a new contract, and thereby
saved the motion picture magnates
from nervous prostration. They have
been negotiating witrtt him folr sev
eral weeks, and now John R. Fruel
r, president of the Mutual Film Cor
poration, has taught the big fish
for:
$4.46 a minute, or,
$268.00 an hour, or,
$2,147.00 a day, or,
$22,884.00 a week, or,
$670,000.00 a year.
No person in the world other than
a king or an emperor unless Charles
M. .Schwab as president of the United
States Steel Corporation was an ex
ception has ever received half that
salary.
Charley Chaplin is twenty-six years
of ago.
Prior to signing the contract
Charlie Chaplin, tflne great and only,
was looking for a job a nice, easy lit
tle job that will guarantee hjm $620,
000 a year. Employers with smaller
bank accounts need not apply. Charlie
is obdurate on that point. The movie
comedian has passed the period of
(hand-to-mouth existence. No more

The Interior. W Praotioally Remade,
and the Greatest Care Wat Bestowed
'Upon Even the Minutoet Details A
Criticism and Story. .
The White House, the work of the
architect James Iloban! burned by the
Iirltlsh in 1702 and restored aud com
pleted by Hoban about 1830.- remained
with Uttlo chunks iu its condition un
til ubout 1805. From this period un
til the administration of Theodore
Kooscvelt there were constant changes
lu the interior, mude ou authority of
tho presidential resident, which de
stroyed the fitness mid dignity of this
beautiful building..
Kooscvelt Boon after he became pres
ident selected Charles Follen McKim
to restore Instead of to enlarge the
building.
. McKim gave his whole attention to
design, from the broadest principles
controlling the relations and unity be
tween the larger elements of halls and
rooms down to the minutest details of
mantels, stucco ornaments and light
ing fixtures.
The broad principles of the work
I'roiisUted in restorlug the terrace on
the cast, removed during Grant's ad
ministration; removing the green
bouses and propagating beds, remov
ing the president's public offices from
the residence to a separate structure,
restoring the iutcrior from the ground
to the roof aud refurnishing the prin
cipal Boor.
While JlcKIm was inaturlnghls de
signs aud the drawings were being
mado the building as It existed from
the ground to the roof was being torn
out, leaving only the walls, windows
and upper floors.
As the work progressed McKim
gave each detail his attention as it
went Into place. . He did not hesitate,
although the time was so limited, to
alter or change details which be found
did not appear just as he hod expected.
This seeking the best results was
well Illustrated In tlnlsbtng the private
dining room. The molded panels and
cornices of this room MeKlm thought
were, too coarse In scale when he saw
them on the wall. He had portions
of them made more delicate. New
moldings were made and put up, then
others, until be finally selected those
most appropriate.
The new moldings threw cornice or
naments and the center out of scale,
and these hud to be removed and oth
ers secured after several trials before
he was satisfied with the room e a
harmonious composition.
It was necessary to build a structure
for the public office separate from the
residence. McKim determined to place
this at the end of the west terrace,
making it one story In height, no high
er than tbo terrace, thus making It In
every way subordinate to the main
building. While he considered it a
temporary building, it contained all the
office rooms needed for the conduct of
the president's business. MeKlin's hope
was that an adequate office building,
with stately apartments, for diplomat
ic and other functions might be built
some time In the near future facing
the capltol at the executive mansion
end of the avenue, thus restoring the
original idea of reciprocity of sight be
tween the executive and , legislative
branches of the government.
This one story office building was
much ridiculed because it did not com
pete with the White House uud was so
simple in Its design. -
At a private dinner In Washington,
among some dozen guests, MeKlm and
a government official were present
The official began to belittle add to
ridicule the office building of the presi
dent McKim said: '
"The conversation reminds me of an
afternoon in St. . Gaudens' studio
some years ago. The wonderful stat
ue of Farrngut, just finished, was oh
exhibition, and a lady , handsomely
dressed and stately in carriage came
iu. I retired, and St. Gaudens car
ried her in to see the statue. After a
short time St. Gaudens returned
with a cheerful couutenunee and whls
tllng merrily. :I said, . 'Well,. G us, I
know she must have been pleased with
the statue, as you are so gay.'. 'No,'
he said; 'she did not like it. If she had
I would have known it was bad.'
A broad smile ran around the table.
The official stiffened up, , but finally
gave way and joined In the laugh.
MeKlin's " refinement, . good taste,
keen appreciation of the beauty of the
old White House, together with his
long study of Italian and of the Geor
gian adaptation of Italian renaissance,
made him thd ideal man for its res
toration again into a dignified resi
dence for the president of a democratic
nation. Glenn Brown in Architectural
