ARLISS PRINCIPLE.
RETURNS £IO,OOO. UNWANTED “OVERTIME.” ’ Air George Arliss, who is reputed to earn £2OOO a week on the films, walked into the office of Air Alichael Balcon, Gaumont-British production manager, in Wardour Street, London, recently, and put a piece of paper on the desk. “I don’t think I’ll take this,” he said, and walked out. The piece of paper was a cheque for about £IO.OOO. Air Arliss is a strong believer in regular hours, and the cheque was for “overtime” in his latest film, “The Guv’nor.” The film took longer to produce than was ' anticipated. This was partly because Gaumont-British were determined that the result would be worthy, of Air Arliss’s art. When in Hollywood Air Arliss was known as a “stickler” for regular working hours.
