Barbara Stanwyck hasn't drawn cent of salary for "Meet John Doe." Frank Capra told me, states an merican columnist. "Barbara," said the dynamic Frank, "consented to gamble with me and accept a percentage in lieu of the usual cheque. She took a job without any money even though other studios were all waiting for her and she could have had a dozen jobs at a top figure."
"Barbara is a wise girl" I told him. "Any actress in the business wottld have done handsprings to play in' & Capra picture and she is just as sure of getting more than her salary than she is of death and taxes, bromidically speaking. In fact,: t bat eny gamble to make a picture with you. You turn out winners, not losers."
