BACK IN U. S. Won’t Say Whether She’ll Ap- ply for Citizenship. By the Associated Press. SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 1.—Greta Garbo returned to America yesterday to resume her work in the films and, with a wave of her hand to several scores of fans who had arisen at dawn | to see her ship dock, she said she was glad to be back. Tanned by the wind and sun on the long trip from Gothenburg aboard the Annie Johnson. combination freight and passenger vessel, the actress dis- embarked here to motor to Hollywood with Mrs. Salka Viertel, wife of a film director. Miss Garbo left the film capital last July to sail from New York for a trip to her native Sweden. without saying whether she would return. Leaving her plans as indefinite vesterday as they( were then, she parried a query as to how long she would remain here with “I don't know. One never knows what tomorrow will bring, does one? The actress, shy of the curious, was the first to leave the Swedish vessel! when it docked. She stopped between ! gangplank and motor car only long | enough to pass a word with newspaper men, pose for photographers and say geod-by in the husk millions of screen fans panions on the trip.

The nervousness. said Capt. C. O.| Holmberg, master of the ship, was not | feigned. “Miss Garbo.” he said, “was just like other passenger on the wip. In fact, she was the easiest to do with of any aboard, but she became nervous yesterday. I think she was afraid of the crowd which she knew would be waiting here. It was the same at every port we visited. She is shy. We went ashore at Cartagena, and Pertp Colom- bia. Colombia; Panama. in the Canal Zone and at Puntarcnas, Mexico. At | Puntarenas she didn't stay long because of the crowd which gathered.” “By the way,” the captain added, “Miss Garbo is an cxcellent sailor. She was the onlv passenger who was nct seasick at all.” The Annie Johnson left Goethenburg at midnight March 25. Captain Holm- berg said only two friends accompanied the actress to the ship. There were less than a half-dozen first-class pas- sengers on the trip.

GANDHI BEGINS FAST THOUGHT TO BE LAST| Campaign Against Untouchability and Caste System May Run Three Weeks. By the Associated Press. POONA, India, May 1.—Among India’s teeming millions the belief grew today that Mahatma Gandhi would not survive a “three-week, unconditional, irrevocable fast” which he will begin | on May 8. Sitting in Yeroda Jail, where he has| been confined since January 4. because | of his passive resistange campaign, the frail little leader announced the fast | yesterday in connection with his cam- paign against untouchability and the caste system. He clung to his determination despite | a two-hour effort by his son Devidas to dissuade him. As the news spread like wildfire. observers who saw the Mehatma after his one-weck fast last| September expressed the fear that the| new fast would mean certain death. The Mahatma, himself, did not ex- plain his decision in detail. H “It is a process of self-purification,” he said. Observers saw in the fast an expres- sion of Gandhi's dissatisfaction with the progress of efforts to better the status of the lower classes. . American’s Body Awaited. NAPLES.

OLD FAVORITES IN GAYETY BURLESQUE Hinda Wausau, However, Unable to Appear on Account of Iliness. | Due to illness which prevented her from making an appearance at the |avety 1aat evening, Hinda Wausau, | the much-heralded blond of burlesque, falled to show up for the performance, | but the show went on.

Yule, in particular, is funny, |but he is given plenty of competition | from the always laughing Davis and the droll Hickman. The best bit of the | evening, however, was furnished by La | Vine, who gave interpretations of stars | | of the “mike” and mixed a little comedy ! in with some good singing. The foil for | these skits was Bob Sanberg, who has | blossomed out as a first-class straight man.

BY MOLLIE MERRICK. ! Special Dispatch to The Star. HOLLYWOOD. May 1 (NANA)— The iron hand in the velvet glove" was a fine old saying in the days that are gone. but the velvet hand in the | crepe de chine glovz brings it right up to Hollywood 1933. Miriam Hopkins arrived at a garden party the other day wearing a pair of 16-button-legnth gloves in flowered print crepe de chine. I pinched myself to see if it were really true when 1 spied Carole Lombard’s white organdie gloves—elbow length—which she wore with a white organdie dinner gown. And Adrienne Ames’ gloves of pink lace, worn with a trailing cvening gown of the same. are fetching, and I don’'t mean maybe. Of course, if you're chic your sports gloves are vellow knit to match your yellow sweaters, and brilliant scarlet schiaparelli mittens are very doggy with all-white sports things. just as the white ones and ones of brilliant blue accent other costumes. Yellow with brilliant blue this year and sharp blue when you wear vellows. * Not to be outdone by the women of Hollywood, the boys have gone a bit hysterical in their sartorial effects. White mess jackets of flannel have been ordered by Alexander Kirkland to wear for Summer months in place of the conventional tuxedo coat. If your shoulders are broad, your waistline nar- row and vour hips all they should be. no smarter effect could be planned by a young man planning to be smart. It is this young man who brought in the vogue for urquart flannel shirts with ties to match. sometimes in checks of very unusual color and cut. The Prince of Wales had better look to his laurels with this lad about. Double-duty sweaters for men and women are & new rage. Some of the smartest include the color combinations of white and blue—milk white on one side and a clear dark blue on the other —reversible and therefore (if vou re- gard it that way) an economy. Soft almond green and clear wood brown— vellow of the daffodil and wood brown— off-white and brown—worn by Miriam Hopkins. The navy and white one is worn by Joel McCrea. The floral hat continues in popu- larity. Some of the outstanding ones include that printed organdie broad- brimmed hat of Gail Patrick’s, with a cluster of the very flowers found in the print at the front of the crown all knotted with a fine tie of ivy green velvet. Venna Hillie wears a beige straw | turban, with the entire top in_ flesh- | pink violets. The little skull cap perched on one side of Joan Crawford’s shapely head is of white velvet violets— and you can imagine it topping & suit of very rough ink-blue crepe with a chalk-white tie bowed very high be- neath her chin. | Kay Francis wears a huge blue straw | hat with a band of organdie tied about | the crown and bowed splendidly. How | this beauty can wear white! One of her smartest gowns is made of white cot- ton fabric which, at a glance, looks like wool. It has a rough diagonal | weave almost as high as corduroy and is tailored severely with white pearl buttons trimming its bias top. With it is worn a hip-length cape in soft | almond green. Short white suede | gloves on her smooth, tanned arms.| And that rhythmic countenance tanned to a ripe bronze patine. Those clear. gray-green eyes.

The concert was held under the patrcnage of the Ambassador Argentine, Senor Dr, Felipe A. Espil. Mr. Bolognini is assistant concert- master of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and has been for several years conceitmaster of the orchestra at the Buenos Afres Opera. The technical and interpretive finish of his playing proved him to be a solcist of excep- tional ability. He has special command of shadings of which he has mastered the gradations to a remarkable degree and his fine understanding of dynamic effects has not been equalled by any violinist heard here this season. From a mechanical standpoint, he has an un- usually well developed flexibility of wrist and ample finger agility. He draws a full, mellow tone from his violin and gives to it a warm vibrancy and variety that attains exceptional beauty passages such as the second movement of the Mendelssohn concerto. A rich temperament is the guilding power in his interpretations means of it he infuses them with 2 personal quality so that his playing is a real union of his own individuaiity and the composer’s intentions. A sonata by the Argentine composer. Floro Ugarte. heard for the first time in the United States, opened the pro- gram. As a composition is is dis- tinctly pleasing. The composer has put his entire story into the first move- ment. “Ap Asionado y Espresivo,” and has told it dramatically with a com- bination of native fire and a true feel- ing for musical values. This first move- ment, although the same can be said of the whole sonata, is one which a violinist of sufficient temperameht would enjoy pla; m%lnd which would hold the interest of the audience without effort. After having given a complete and pas- sionate expression to his ideas in the first movement (which is so complete it could be played independent of the | others), the composer gives special em- phasis to a mood already indicated by devoting the second movement to ex- pressing it, “Tiernamente Melancolico.” The third movement. “Vivas y Bien Ritmado,” 1s a summing up in calmer fashion. but so much had been said in the beginning that it conveyed noth- ing_new 1 _ The second composition which had a | first hearing yesterday was the “Aires Cricolles,” by another Argentine com- poser, J. Aguirre. Known as Argen- tine’s finest pianist during his life- time. he has written a work suffi- ciently intriguing technically for the ! instrumentalist and rhythmical enough |to win a response from any audience. It is a short number of the type always needed to relieve a program of too much heaviness. The rendition which Mr. Bolognini gave these two numbers had a tender sympathy that sought not to overlook any details that could bring out the sentiment and idea. His play- ing of the sonata was particularly beau- tiful. for he made it a very human document with a wealth of human pas- sions running through it. Mr. Bolognini gave a more or less traditional rendering of the Mendelssohn concerto, taking the last movement somewhat slower than the tempo used by some other violinists. Other num- bers which Mr. Bolognini played with | sensitive regard for their character { were the “Vida Breve” of De Falla, the powerful “Bal Shem" of Bloch and | Paganini’s “Motuo Perpetuo.’ Elsa Fidler at the piano reached the same high artistic plane as Mr. Bolog- nini in her playing of the sonata and proved an inspiring _accompanist throughout.
