Mr. R. T. Baker, Joint manager of the firm, stated that during that time Miss Fields would probably make three pictures. "You may take it that Miss Fields will re- ceive more than, Grota Garbo," ho sald. "Greta Garbo would receive more about £60,000——for each film, but she would probably make only two films in the two years instead of three.
