NEW SHOW TONIGHT Tokyo Variety Review Theatre Heeds Other Era Items For 'Music Man' Items that were common in 1912, give or take a few years, are needed for the Honolulu Community Theatre production of "The Music Man." So, if you should have any of the following articles that might fit into a stage play which is set 46 years ago the theatre group would be pleased to borrow them for the production. Needed are: a stereopti-con machine with slides, a baby carriage, a bicycle, a Wells Fargo wagon, a Springfield rifle, a still projector and projector table.

Those having any of the needed "props" may call the theatre office, 996-174, during business hours any week day.

The star offers his advice and perfomance and becomes a partner in the deal. This system was pioneered by James Stewart, who made millions with his half-interest in such films as "Winchester .73" and "Glenn Miller Story." Stewart's a i are strictly income, but he also owns half of the, negative. With such films as "Rear Window" and "Vertigo," he and Alfred Hitchcock will end up owning the entire negative. Profit sharing can come from either: 3 The net or 4 The gross. Producers prefer to share a percentage of the profits with the stars.

But since a film must earn double its cost before it can show a profit, stars are beginning to prefer a percentage of the gross. By taking 10 per cent of every box office dollar for "The Vikings" and "Kings Go Forth," Tony Curtis expects to earn $1,500,000. Some stars prefer to take such earnings with: 5 The spread. Contracts can be phrased to limit payments of film income to so much a year. The most famous is Holden's "River Kwai" deal which may pay him $50,000 annually for the next 50 years.

Adds Frank Sinatra: "No matter how much I earn, 91 cents out of every dollar goes to the government Out of that remaining 9 cents, I've got to pay all of the living expenses for myself and my family. It's ridiculous for me to keep adding straight income to my total earnings. I've got to find ways to keep some money." All the top stars have come to that realization. They are now not only actors but financial experts as well.

They and their advisors have devised means of operation that are not tax evasions but perfectly legal ways of avoiding a salaries income. Here they are: 1 The production company. This is a throwback to the days when Pickford, Chaplin, Fairbanks and D. W. Griffith formed United Artists.

It has become popular recently both as a means of earning and keeping more money and maintaining artistic control of a production. Most of the golden dozen stars have tried their own companies. The most successful is Burt Lancaster's firm, which hit it rich with "Marty," "Trapeze," anI other films. Others haven't fared so well. William Holden has yet to show a profit on his one production, "Toward the Unknown." His company is now inactive.

He explains: "I found I was so concerned with production details I didn't devote enough time to my job as an actor. I don't want to be bigshot behind a desk in Hollywood. There are too many parts of the world I still want to see."

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 8 (AP) A revamp of movie economics has created a new breed of millionaire star. Millionaires are nothing new to Hollywood. Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd, William S. Hart and Douglas Fairbanks made fabulous money, and paid little tax on it.

But their breed died out with silent films and the rise of the major studios. Then most stars were paid weekly salaries, and rising income taxes dug into their take. It wasn't unusual for high-salaried and high-living stars like Errol Flynn and Orson Wells to end up in hock to Uncle Sam. Now the movie power has shifted from the major studios to the stars, especially a scintillating male dozen. All 12 are either millionaires or well on their way.

They are amassing their millions not by working on a straight salary. Says Cary Grant: "I get dozens of offers to do pictures for $750,000. It's not difficult to get a million dollars for a picture.
