The higher figure gocH to I). W. (ii'ifl'ith, who produced "The Birth of a. Nation," but Grif fith's earnings on this one production will add vastly to his income, us it is a sepnriite undertnking in which he is heavily interested. It was just six years ago that Griffith, in sheer ties perutiun turned from the stage to the film studio glnd to accept the regula tion price of $15 per day. Of nil the remarkable changes creat ed by the growth of an infant art nnil industry the career of Thomas II. Juee is perhaps the most widely discussed, luce is the oldest son of an old time uctor who did not live to see all three of his children achieve fame in the film studio. "Tom" luce wus in such straits five years ago when he applied for "work" in a western picture plant that he confesses that he was without a place of shelter for his wife and buby. Now luce not only eaniH in excess of $Hl),0U0 annually, but he is producii'g picture plays in a city named utter him self (Jnceville, Cul.,) where he often releases a production on which $5(1,00(1 lias been spent. Ve Liberty SUNDAY-MONDAY Ralph (nee, a younger brother, has attained the highest position possible in the film studio. He writes ninny of his productions, but it is rare that he now acts before the camera. Kecent ly lie was offered $1,1100 a week to leave the Vilagraph company where he lias been intrenched fur years. Aaitu Sli'Hiul is Ralph luces' sister in 111 vv. Mere we have n concrete illus tration ol what the motion picture art 1 has meant for young wi.uieu who em brace it seriously even without stage experience. Miss Stewart came to the Vitagrapli sludio less than three years ngo, having not the least previous ex- . perience ou stage or screen. In a tow mouths she became u star, later scoring n sensiitiouul triumph in "A Million Hid." At the age of twcnly she is fuming a salary paid to few Bromlway stage favorites, i There are nt least a score af youth ful stars of the screen who now earn tea to twenty limes as much as the highest paid salaries given them ou Ihe stage. As many directors of photo plays are paid from $'J.rill to .friim a neck who never knew n three figure salary lis stage directors. Moreover some of the highest paid of all never staged n play in the old field in their lives. j The matinee idols of filindom achiev ed lillle on the singe. Jack Warren Kerrigan earns $2ii,O00 n year. Carlyle Bill, kwell is producing in his own slu dio photoplays directed by himself and ill which he is featured, These two youths still in Iheir curly twenties are idolized by more than half Hie women who attend the picture houses. Neither earned as high us $fiO a week when on the stage, in fact both were playing four years ago in "Brown of Harv ard" in which .1 ii in Young starred. Now Young himself is one of the pil lars of the film industiv. lie writes and directs the photnphus he appears ill. His wife (Clara Kimball Young) is Mary I'ickford's closest rival, l.t'te so many others who enjoyed little vogue on the stuge, her enreer in pietnreiloui has been iimaziagly meteoric. , Kven the photopliiVM l ights who have made Iheir impress gicutest ill the new er field have no stage achievements to their credit. Ninety per cent of the scenarios (save those adapted from stnte plays) are the work of men and women who never wrote u spoken plav in their lives. Kmniett Campbell Hull.

Miss Damon never wrote a line for publica tion in her life. At the time she re ceived the check for $10,000 she was u stenographer for a piano house.
