The? Watck Their Step
The young couples in Hollywood face
almost the same money problems that
confront newlyweds everywhere.
By Ann Sylvester
A LOS ANGELES newspaper recently published the story of a young couple in court seeking a divorce, after only six months of marriage.
"I'm tired of economizing and pinching and doing without things," was the plaint of the flapper bride. Whereupon her young husband leaped to his feet. "I make as much money as any young fellow of my age, your honor," he thundered, "but she got her ideas of living from the movie people around here, and I can't keep up with that stuff."
Funny, isn't it? Funny, and a little sad, and a little silly. It is particularly funny, if you know what I know about some of the young married couples of the movies, who are economizing and saving, just like the bride who was tired of marriage because she couldn't live as she thought they did. I wonder how she'd feel if she knew that they are living much as she does.
She wouldn't believe it, of course. Why, movie actors make hundreds and thousands and even millions of dollars ! They have mansions in Beverly Hills, and yachts at the Yacht Club, and servants in their kitchens, and motors in their garages. They don't have to stint themselves a thing.

they are the exceptions rather than the rule. Young
love, lor the most part, has just as much difficulty in making both ends meet on a movie salary, as it does on a bookkeeper's. Comparatively speaking, they have to stretch their money just as far. There are so many demands made on their earnings that don't apply to couples out of pictures. For instance, press agents, photographs, charities, and relatives. Not that other couples don't have relative-, but actors seem to have more.
