The Star herewith pre- | sents the story of her private life, | prepared by Rilla Page Palmborg, who authentically portrays the facts of Miss Garbo's unusual career and who clears up for Miss Garbo's admirers many of the puzzling ques- tions that have arisen regarding this unusual actress. The story will con- tinue as a daily feature in The Star. BY RILLA PAGE PALMBORG. N the morning of September 18 1905, there was hushed excite- ment in the humble apartment of Mr. and Mrs. Gustafsson, at | 32 Blekingegaten street, Stock- | holm, Sweden. | None of the other families in the five- story apartment building was greatly | concerned with what was happening in the Gustafsson household. A new baby | was not an unusual occurrence in that | neighborhood It was not until years later, when | this baby had become known all over imn world as the great Greta Garbo, | that these neighbors remembered to | brag that they recailed the very day | little Greta was born. Number 32 Blekingegaten street is not a fashionable part of Stockholm D. | The playground of the children is the street and the back yard, where clothes | lines are always stretched overhead, or in one of the vacant lots near by. When little Greta Gustafsson grew | old enough to play with her brother Swen and sister Alva she did not like | to romp with the neighborhood chil- dren as they did. When her mother sent her outdoors to play she would wander off in a corner by herself or slip ‘away from the others down the street. Felt Out of Place. | When she was sent to school she was most_unhappy. It wasn't the studying she hated. It was beng compelled to sit long hours before a desk. She dreaded the recesses even more. She felt 5o out of place among these little boys and girls, even though they were her age. The other children often whispered about her because she was 80 tall, At 12 Greta was as tall as she is | today. When school hurrying home with her brother and sister, Greta would steal away by her- self. ' There were several places she loved to go. One was the little bridge that jutted out from the rocks of outh Side. She liked to stand on this bridge and look down on Stockhoim a9 ft lay out below. | e Ghis bridke was a gate that led | into the courtyard of the Southside Theater. Greta would stand for hours near this gate waiting to catch a glimpse of the actors and actresses as they came and went into that my terious region known as “back stage.” | When Greta was 14 real tragedy en- tered her life. Her father, whom she | Joved dearly, died. Mrs. Gustafsson and her two older children, Swen and Alva, went to work. Greta was too young: she must be kept in school a while longer. Greta did not like to be the only one not earning money. In Sweden barbers employ girls to make the lather and | pat in on the customer's face and dry | the razors and lay out clean towels. Greta found such work in a little shop. | But she didn't like it. ilike the small pay that went with it. | One day she persuaded her mother | 1 to allow her to apply for a position in | Paul Bergstrom's department _store. When she got a position in the women's coat department Greta knew that the hated school days were over. | Gets Permanent Job. [ It was soon found that Miss Gus- | tafsson was willing ana quick to learn. | When there was an opening in the mil- linery department Greta received a per- manent position there. One day the head saieswoman asked the new clerk to help her lay out the hats to be used for illustrations in the Fall catalogue. When the advertising man came in t> look them over Greta | was used as a_model. Both the adver- tising man and the head of the d>part- was out, instead of style of hat seemed to become Miss Gustafsson. They decided it would be a fine idea to have her pose for the photographs. One day the advertising manager came hurrying into the millinery de- | partment. “Pick out your smartest styles,” he ordered. “Capt. Ring and | two of his contract players are coming in to select hats for the advertising film they are making for the store.” But Capt. Ring was not_interested. | He had selected actresses for all the | costumes he had in mind. However, the next day it was decided that a comedy touch was needed. Then Capt. Ring remembered the tall, awkward, yet i strangely attractive girl in the milliner; | department who photographed so well. Greta was put into a checkered riding habit, two sizes too large. She was told to stand with her hands in her pockets, her shoulders hunched up and her head | pulled to one side. She was so quick and_ anxious to follow directions that | Capt. Ring assured her he would use her soon in another picture, But it wasn't until the following year that Capt. Ring asked Miss Gustafsson to do more work for him. This was a small part in a film to be released in Japan showing the cujture and in- dustry of Sweden. | In 1922 he again wanted Greta to take part in an industrial film for a firm in the city of Orebro. This time | venes tonight at 7:15 o'clock in the 'Etchison there was to be real romance running through the picture. Greta was asked to take the role of a yr. It was a great opportunity for her. Refused to Let Her Go. But the store refused to let her go. | Greta was heartbroken when she had to give it up. One night on her way home from | work Greta stopped to look into a window where shoes were displayed She was annoyed when she discovered a man standing beside her, looking her up and down. The man was a film di- rector, who had been attracted Greta's beautiful. clear-cut features and natural, graceful walk. He was debating on approaching her and of- | fering her a part in a picture he was about to make when she hurried off The following day this man came into the millinery section with two actresses. He didn't see Greta and after he left she inquired who he was. When she was told he was Erick Petschier, a film director, she decided to ask him for a chance in one of his pictures. That evening Greta telephoned him for an appointment, which he made for the following afternoon. When she went into Mr. Petschler’s office he rec- ognized her as the girl he had seen looking in the shoe store window. He engaged her for a comedy bit in “Pater the Tramp.” It was a small part and would take only a few days. He thought she could arrange with the store to change her vacation date But the store refused. know what to do. She feared to_lose her steady job, but she was more afraid to lose this chance in pictures, for which she had always longed. She decided to give up her position as a hat clerk. That night she went home to tell her mother that she had left the store and thereafter intended to make her living in motion pictures (Copyright, 1031, by the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
