OOLLYWOOD—There are two
U little words guaranteed to
make the movk- actor see red:
Salary cut /
Hollywood is hearing those two
words again now, has heard them
since the outbreak of war in Eu-
rope. The words, timed artfully to
the accompaniment of the dull
thuds of many heads dropped un-
der a sharpened economic axe,
were being' whispered before the
first bomb was dropped on Po-
land—and with the expected re-
sults.
At this writing the actors have
not been 'asked, in so many words,
to accept voluntary trimmings.
But there has been a great deal
of talk, in executive quarters,
about the dire state ot affairs and
the sorry outlook for profits be-
cause of the foreign markets.
When and if the request comes,
the actors will be skeptical—and
with cause for which the pro-

r' HISTORY Is repeating itself
on the war front, it certainly
looks due for a repeat on the
movie battle lines. As in 1989, so

what happened: the movie indus-
try boomed, the American films
stole the world spotlight which
they have never since relin-
quished. . ,
Another time was 1027, a
a year
when things were deemed to look
pretty black—but it was iuat be-
fore 1920, when the industry
reached its peak along with other
industries, and "prosperity" was

subsequent collapse.
And then there was 1993. The
quake. I remember attending wild
