Whether the “It” girl ever will be seen again in films remained problem- atical. An exchange of amenities ac- companied the termination of her six- year association with Paramount—an assoclation punctuated with numerous tempestuous events which culminated recently in a nervous breakdown, which was given as the real reason for the severance of relations. Miss Bow said she had no plans for her future in pictures or on the stage. At the time she requested the termina- tion of the contract she said her retire- ment from films would be only tempo- rary. Myi&! Bow has left the sanitarium to which her physician sent her after her collapse_on a motion-picture lot, and at her Beverly Hills home is preparing to leave the latter part of this week for her Nevada ranch for a period of final recuperation. Miss Bow said she had received sev- eral offers from a theater chain for per- sonal appearances over the country. She said she rejected them all. She was at work cn “The Secret Call” D. C., TUESDAY, when an attack of hysterics on the lot led to her serious illness in a sani- tarium. The incident directly blamed for Miss Bow's nervous collapse was the publication in a weekly periodical here cf stories purporting to tell of her “love life.” The publisher, Frederick H. Gir- nauy, is awaiting trial on a charge of senfl:n‘ obscene matter through the malls. FLOWER SH(;W PLANNED Neighborhood Garden Club to Stage Midseason Exhibit. Special Dispatch to The Star.
