P.u Time * Special T tOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 19.—There is such a thing as -*■*- being too good at your job in Hollywood, especially if your job is that of double for a leading movie star. That's why Geraldine De Vorak isn’t Greta Garbo’s double any more; she was more Greta than Greta herself. One of the most incredible true stories this fountainhead of incredible stories ever has produced is that of Greta and Geraldine, which has come to an end with Geraldine back in the ranks of the extra girls. The details just have been revealed in the current Photoplay magazine. They are alike, inch for inch and pound for pound, features, color, hair, eyes, and all They are so much alike that Geraldine has not only doubled for Greta on the screen, but out the studio as well. Tourists have seen her dining with gay animation in Hollywood’s brightest

RITCHIE RISES AS WET HEAD OF DEMOCRATS Maryland Governor’s Stand on Wickersham Plan May Make Him Al’s Successor. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 19. The letter of George W. Wickersham appeared today to have shifted the prohibition issue and unloosed political currents which may have pronounced effects in the presidential campaign in 1932. The letter of the chairman of President Hoover’s law enforcement commission to the conference of Governors was provoked an issue as to whether states morally are obligated to help enforce federal prohibition. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland has taken the negtaive side so aggressively he is regarded by some as a possible successor to Alfred E. Smith as spokesman of the wet faction of the Democratic party, especially if he is re-elected Governor of Maryland for the fourth time. Old Cleavage Revived There may be some competition from Governor Roosevelt of New York, but he is approaching the prohibition question warily and, at the moment, appears to attach more importance to the merger issue, which he recently warned was becoming a national danger. Should Roosevelt fail of re-election next year, the way would be fairly clear for Ritchie, who has been friendly with the Smith group. The Wickersham letter has not helped the Democratic party as a whole, however, for it instantly revived the old cleavage. On the Republican side the Wickersham letter has aroused controversy as to whether President Hoover is in sympathy with the proposed division of enforcement work. Mr. Hoover's law enforcement commission is not expected to complete its work for two years. If prohibition recommendations are offered to the country just ahead of the 1932 presidential campaign it would be logical for Mr. Hoover to support them. Wets Seek Legal Loophole Wets, continuing to advocate repeal of the eighteenth amendment, casting about for some legal formula to permit individual thirst to be quenched without jeopardy. Wets are hampered in modification efforts by the fact the supreme court held in the Rhode Island case a state may not enact legislation contrary to the eighteenth amendment. Senator James Watson of Indiana, Republican leader of the senate, issued a statement saying some of the states had not exercised concurrent power in enforcement of the eighteenth amendment and “Chairman Wickersham's statement was an effort to enlist the support of these states in doing their full constitutional duty.”

Republicans Silent EASTERN POINT, Conn., July 19. —Republican silence on the governors' conference anent the Wickershaw prohibtion letter was due to a definite program mapped by a private caucus of Republican executives. The conferees, sensing a division of opinion among Democrats, were agreeable to letting the Wickersham letter serve as a further wedge in promoting a breach in Democratic ranks which developed strongly in the last Democratic campaign.

The Swedish star really does like to keep her private life to herself. She 1 es to drive a rattling flivver and wear tweeds that are the despair of the modistes. She likes to be alone. She is moodily temperamental, perhaps, but she is not high-hat. She hasn’t the flair off-screen that the public expects of a movie queen. So it was quite fine with Greta that she had a double to do her public posing and be gazed at. It was fine with Greta’s producers, too. They couldn't make Garbo do the grandiose things that were expected of

a movie queen. She wouldn’t make the public gestures, popularity or no popularity. But Geraldine could and did. She loved it. The double, so far as life off the set was concerned, actually became Garbo. She carried herself with the regal air of a great star. She even wore the Garbo clothes and wore then with a flair that Greta never has acquired. She was, in fact, Greta Garbo’s “private life" where the public was concerned, until— It seems, according to the Photoplay article, that Geraldine actually convinced herself she was the better half of Garbo. She began treating the studio folk as a prima donna might, but Garbo does not. She began arriving and departing at her owm leisure, as a great actress might, but as a double can not. In a particularly lucid moment, they cut off her contract before she demanded Garbo’s salary.
