Crosby Re-Adjusts Film Contracts - Plans One-Niters
“Bing Crosby has re-adjusted his contract with Paramount and leaves for Hollywood this Thursday (30th). The singer refused to take a cut on his picture salary but agreed to concessions regarding his broadcast, line charge and band obligations. Paramount had originally agreed to pay Crosby’s radio hook-up bills and also furnish him with an orchestra for his broadcasts over a period of eight weeks. Line charges figure around $1800 a week and the band about $2300 weekly. Under the revised arrangement the producer will only have to foot these bills for two weeks or, the balance of Crosby’s contract with Chesterfield. Program goes off the air April 15th, concessions to Paramount also mean that the plan for Crosby doing a sustaining series on CBS after that date, is out. Crosby will be off the air following the Chesterfield finale for at least thirteen weeks. After he’s finished his picture he lands a vaudeville bill and orchestra around him for a cross country tour of one-niters.” (11)
