The Money End Of It No man is better qualified to judge of material and monetary conditions in the studios tiian Photoplay's California representative, Alfred A. Cohn, who has been continually in touch with the most intimate details of picture-making for more than four years. You probably remember Mr. Cohn's interesting and highly informative analysis of the salary situation, "What They Really Get." This was published a year or so ago in these columns, and nothing, before or since, has been a clearer or more comprehensive analysis of the rewards of photoplay acting, directing and writing. Since that time, however, there has been a complete right about face in pay and profit and percentage, due to many causes. In December Photoplay Mr. Cohn will analyze the new situation as clearly as he did the old, presenting exclusive and startling facts about the money that comes to the creative and interpretative side of the picture business. On Our Own "Western Front" FOR many months Photoplay has been a forum for the discussion of those who are constructively for and destructively against photoplay-making as it is primarily exemplified in the original story and the scenario. The Pharisees— the crowd Arthur Stringer flayed with such beautiful surgery in "Herods of the Movies," — are pretty well abashed by this time, so that we have come quite properly to the place in which the whole situation may be reviewed. Randolph Bartlett does this, in the most brilliant, the most dispassionate, the most absorbing article he ever wrote. It is a gem of characterization, and bears this simple title: "Our Enemies." Fiction NEXT month's fiction will include the breathless finale of "The Midnight Man," "The Eyes of Youth," made by Clara Kimball Young from the great story which Marjorie Rambeau played on the stage; and "Lombard!, Ltd.,'' Metro's picturization of the inimitable Hatton play, with Bert Lvtell and Alice Lake.
