FREELANCING AGAIN
NOAH BEERY’S DECISION BETTER THAN CONTRACTS Noah Beery has broken out of contract work into the freelance class once more. His is a course followed by many dependable character actors of Hollywood, says a correspondent, and their reasons are pretty much the same. A contract player can only do 52 weeks’ work a year, while a freelance may do anywhere from ten to 72 weeks. Beery had four years of freelancing just before he signed his'recently completed three-year contract with Famous Players-Lasky. Ho figures that his minimum working time during those four years was 64 weeks and two days in one year and his highest score reached 72 weeks and four days. This record was accomplished by working day and night on different pictures. Beery is freelancing again, and declares himself out to beat his old record. He is at present playing the bloodthirsty Due D’Alva in the new Coleman-Banky picture, “Leather-i-face.”
