Heaven knows, the days have been doggy enough, with film shooting down sharply from pre vious years. But the first two months of the year are tradition ally the worst for production. The reason: there's a big tax in March on exposed film in the state. That means that the studios avoid filming in January and February and try to have all their films finished and shipped out of California before the tax is due. Samuel Goldwyn offers an exam ple of how it can hurt. He won t be able to have "Porgy and Bess" finished in time for the deadline: He figures the tax will add more than $100,000 to the movie's cost.

Well, in the months ahead, it's "back to reality," as one manu facturer sums up the style out look; a "safe and sane soring," says another. Modified versions of the high waistline remain in the new clothes collections but the ex tremes of the empire are wasting away; and everyone In the na tion's garment center is talking of normal waists, of midrifs fitted, and of belts which define the nat ural body contours.

Then he goes to Europe returns briefly and takes off for the Orient. All these travels . aren't merely wanderlust ' on Bill's part. He is convinced of the value of world wide salesmanship for the movies lies in.

Star Recognizes, Deplores By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - Wendell Corey says he is a middle-class movie star financially, at least. It's all a part of Corey's theory on Hollywood's caste system. "The really high-priced stars make it hard on us middle-class actors," he said seriously. "For the super-colossal pictures the pro ducers don't even think of me. The salary for the star is so high, they say, 'he doesn't make that kind of money.' within the first few years in movies an actor usually estab lishes his income standard. Once it's fixed, you rarely earn more and if you accept less it can ruin you forever." When a producer or a studio casts a picture they call the ac tor's previous employer to discov er wnat he was paid. Then thev offer him the same amount. If you agree to take five cents less, they won't hire you," Wendell grinned. "And I've never under stood why.

Another category is the 'sincere' or 'im portant' group who have marquee value and usually co-star with aging actresses." Corey explained actors' salaries for recognized names start at $10, 000 and graduate up to almost a million dollars, at $50,000 steps.
