FOR STARS

GRETA GARBO GETS £90,000 A YEAR Beyond question films entail heavy salary Hist, how heavy is indicated by a return of the Treasury department of the U.S. Congress of film stars earnings in 1937.

These are official Agures on which taxation has been levied and are therefore not the inflat- ed ones which may be used for publicity.

At the top of them all Greta Garbo. stands with £90.000 а year. The group receiving £80. 000 or rather more includes Mar- lene Dietrich, Claudette Colbert. Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Fredric March, and Wi- Ham Powell

£50,000 A Year

Not less than £50,000 year are attributed to Jeanette Mac-. Donald, Fred Astaire, Charles Boyer and Joe E. Brown, and £40,000 to each of the follow- ing :- Sonja Henle, Katherine Hepburn, Kay Francis, Warner Baxter and George Raft..

Charles Chaplai 1 credited with no more than £20,000 for 1837. It will be noted that 1937 is already two years ago, and dur; ing that time the comparative box „office value of stats will have

altered considerably.
