A WAY THEY HAVE.
HOLLYWOOD LEARNS TO SHARE WHEN SHARING IS DUE.

The long day wore on into a longer night before the scenes were satisfactorily shot. On.his way out of the studio the director came upon a perspiring extra whom he recognised as from the set. “ You win,” Beaumont said, handing him a tep-dollar bill. “You earned it.” ' Next day the extra showed up at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer casting office. , , “ My name is Jack Chefe,” he explained. “ I was given ten dollars for dancing hard in the Beaumont picture last night. Here are five dollars. Give them to the girl who danced with me.”
