LOCAL 514 MOWDAY ; ODPD FELLOWS' HALL 7:30 P. M. Hollywood Sighss And Sounds By Robbin Coons. HOLLYWOOD, Cal,, Aug. 11—That woman is working again. So are the men who rig up high screens of black cloth around sets, the men who paint “No visitors allowed—positively” for display outside sound stage doors, the men whose business it is to help keep the legend of the woman alive. Behind that screen of black cloth, when the stage doors are opened wide for air, passers-by in the studio streets know that the great Garbo is “giffing” of her art. The screens protect Greta from the vulgar stares of the curious. Garbo, despite all the sweet stories of her new freedom from shyness, her more friendly attitude around the sets, is still mythical figure enough to cause those who have seen her (actually!) to speak of it in tones akin to awe. Those who have actually “caught up with Garbo” are, of course, in a class by themselves—a mystic fraternal organization, unorganized. The “catching up”—meaning more than a casual encounter as the star walks from dressing room to stage, meaning usually a situation in which conversation is possible—is invariably acci- dental They say that Garbo doesn’t give autographs, hwsn't for a long time, but a catcher-upper got one none the less. The liltle girl was waiting at the studio gate, as little girls and boys do constantly, with autograph book in hand, watching the stars drive in. Garbo got out of her car inside the gate, but near enough so the child could duck under the arms of the gatemen, dash up to the Swede, and extend her book and pencil. The story is that Garbo smiled, signed it, and the child ran back without a word, clutching her treasure. Harpo Marx belongs to the club. Harpo is prankish.

He f lifted the brim—and a startled Garbo looked up at him. Harpo |} was sort of startled, too. f { | | | i Albert Morin, the ribber, was rib-less when he qualified for membership. Wearing a uniform like Charles Boyer’s in Garbo's “Conquest,” he was approached by Garbo from behind, with “Good morning, Mr. Boyer.” Morin turned, recognized the speak- er, suddenly got tongue-tied, fled. } Commander Frank Wead was writing in his office one day | when the door opened and in walked Garbo. In walked, after | her, some furniture movers with a desk. It wasn’t a social visit | on Garbo's part. She'd been going down the hall, found the [} desk obstructing her way, opened the first door and entered to i allow it to pass. Instead, it followed her into the office. | Not long ago Garbo went driving to the valley to visit a friend, l stopped at a real-estate office to check directions. The real- 1 estater obliged, but missed out on membership in the club—he [ didn’t recognize her, might never have known how closely he brushed with fame if his secretary, near-hysterical with excite- ‘ ment, hadn't told him. That's the funny thing about Garbo. Unless you're a fan of hers, and go deliberately Garbo-hunting, you can pass her on the street without wasting a second look. Only her lashes, phen- omenally long and her own, would command attention. But lashes like hers grow in make-up kits, too, and any of the Garbo- imitators, who wear slouch hats and dark glasses, can wear them for the buying. ___—_—-———————‘ » ol
