The film daily year book of motion pictures (1928)

Maximum rate or pay for picture stars ranges between 500 and 600 schillings for each working day, or in American currency between $70 and $85. Well known actors and actresses get from 200 to 300 schillings for each working day or from $28 to $43. Austrian exhibitors face most of their difficulties because of exorbitant taxation.
