Music BY JAMES THRASHER SUNDAY'S feast of fine radio music promises to be even richer than usual tomorrow, with Josef Hofmann, Efrem Zimbal>rt and Arturo Toscanini to be heard. Mr. Hofmann's program is to contain the F Major Ballade and D Flat Waltz of Chopin, Sgambati's transcription of a Melody from Gluck’s opera, “Alceste,” and the Liszt Polonaise in E. A symphony orchestra under the direction of Erno Rapee is to complete the program to be heard at 9 over NBC-WEAF (WIRE.) Mr. Hofmann is in the 55th year of his concert career, having made his debut at the age of five. He toured Europe at 9, played an American tour at 12, and then retired for six years to study with Rubinstein. His work as director of the Curtis Institute of Music has not interfered with his concertizing, and critics are generally agreed that his playing this year is at the height of its brilliance. n a tt Mr. Zimbalist is to be violin soloist with the Ford Orchestra and Chorus, Victor Kolar conducting, at 8 over CBS (WFBM.) His offerings are to include Lenski’s aria from the opera, “Eugene Onegin,” by Tschaikowsky. the Fantasy on themes from Bizet's “Carmen,” hy Sara sate, and a “Tarantelle” by the same composer. Smetana’s tone poem, “The Moldau,” is to feature the orchestra’s selections. a a a THE Brams Fourth is the symphony chosen by Mr. Toscanini for tomorrow’s program by the New York Phil-harmonic-Symphony Orchestra at 2. over CBS (WFBM.) The maestro is to open the concert with Rossini's overture to “LTtaliana in Algeri,” and is to conduct, in addition to the symphony, the Alfred Pochon edition of Handel's Overture to the oratorio, “Susanna,” and two movements from Kozeluch’s Second Quartet; Franck’s symphonic poem, “Les Eolides,” and Tschaikowsky’s Overture-Fan-tasy, “Romeo and Juliet.” tt a tt The usual Sunday morning broadcast from Radio City at 11:30 is to present Viola Philo, regular soloist on these programs, in lieder by Schubert and Brahms, and songs by the French composers Bachelet and Dalcroze. The orchestra is to be heard in Haydn's “London” Symphony, one of 12 written for the English impressario, Salomon, when the composer was nearly 70; the second movement of Mendelssohn's “Scotch” Symphony, and the “Rondes des Printemps.” by Debussy. The broadcast is over NBC-WJZ <WLW.)

When the millionth person tours Radio City within a few days, he will find himself suddenly the feted and specially privileged guest of the great showplace. NBC's biggest names are on the committee which will see that his entertainment is complete. When he has seen everything in Radio City, he will be dined at the Rainbow Grill, then be put on the air (NBC) to describe it to listeners. a a a Announcer Morris Hicks of WIRE is proud of a letter received yesterday from a listener thanking him for making gloomy Thursday more pleasant by his cheerful announcing of the Tuneful Tick Tock program . . . To listeners confused about Vic and Sade’s stations: Vic and Sade are heard on NBC-WEAF through WLW and other NBC stations each week day afternoon at 2:30. If the team was identified with a CBS announcement, it was because of mechanical error . . . Mrs. Velma Patman of WIRE'S program department is an admirer of Ted Lewis, ana has an autographed picture by the entertainer. She announced with much pleasure last night that the Lewis band is to be heard on NBC-WEAF (WIRE) at 10:35 tomorrow night. a a a When Robert Ripley offered to send listeners pictures of the “Holy Stooper of Nepal.” he didn't expect 140.000 requests. Cost of printing, inscribing and mailing has been so great that the “Believe It or Not” conductor ended up on the wrong side of the ledger, for he personally paid the cost, which was more than he received for the broadcast. It was Ozzie Nelson, whose orchesra provides the music for the Ripley Sunday night program, that in&uced Mr. Ripley to make the offer. During the broadcast, the orchestra leader told Mr. Ripley that he didn’t believe his story until he saw the picture. Bob then announced that if others didn't believe he would send them photographic proof. Townsend Club to Organize A Townsend Club movement is to be formed in St. Joseph’s Hall. 617 E. North-st, Monday at 7:30.

GARBO The Mysterious Her ™ O U RY E By ELISABETH VON CAUB

(Continued From Page 3)

her, and at the same time picked out another girl student, Mona Martensor . The two girls traveled together on the same tram car to keep their appointment on the fateful morning when Stiller had arranged to distribute the parts. Greta found that she had been chosen for the important role of Countess Dohna, while Mons was to play the part of a girl friend. Work started on the film about the time of Gretas birthday, in September. 1923. and the optimistic estimate of two months which Stiller had laid before Carl Brisson. proved very far short of the actual time needed. The film did not proceed at all smoothly. There were almost insuperable obstacles to be overcome. Nothing short of perfection would satisfy Stiller, and the scientific precision he demanded from his mechanical equipment was the standard he applied to his artists, too. Greta seems to have worked in a kind of dream. "She was extremely shy and seldom spoke,” said one of her fellow-players. For once, however, there was something more than the old. habitual shyness behind Greta’s silence. A strange, new influence had entered her life. She had found a man who was in every sense a master. She had no desire other than to express the conceptions which Stiller outlined day by day. ti tt it nnHE year wore on. Winter came, and with it the taking of the marvellous outdoor scenes in “Gosta Berling,” where Lars Hanson, accompanied by Greta, races madly in a sledge across vast snow-fields in a thrilling escape from a pack of wolves. When at last the film was finished, Greta returned to the dramatic school. She stepped from the heights of stardom back into the blissful irresponsibility of a student, and never dreamed of putting on airs because of the big part she had been privileged to play. She was not, however, destined to remain a nonentity for long. Her "premiere eleve” contract followed almost immediately, and this had only been in existence for about a week when Stiller started making plans for anew film in which Greta should star, and the advisability of throwing up the contract, together with the scholarship at the dramatic school, was warmly debated. At the flat of Alma Soderhjelm, Finnish writer who was a friend of both Stiller and Greta, Greta’s fate was eventually sealed. Stiller came in one night looking extremely worried, and asked if he might use the telephone. A heated conversation then proceeded over the wires. When it was over. Stiller threw himself into an armchair exhausted and started to mop his brow. “The die is cast,” he said. “I have broken Greta’s contract with the dramatic theater. Now I must take the consequences. It can not be helped. I want her for a film.” EVENTS began to move quickly. The carefully re-edited completion of “Gosta Berling” was rushed by air to Berlin. It arrived at the offices of a leading film company late at night and was thrown upon the screen in the private theater. Four directors sat far into the night deliberating on its fate. At last they arrived at an agreement. a telegram was sent accepting Stiller’s terms, hard though they were. He had demanded the almost unheard of sum of $25,000 for the German rights. The film would be launched with a flourish of trumoets. The directors turned over in their minds which of the Swedish principals should be invited to the opening. Finally, after a good deal of discussion, they decided to include the strangely fascinating. unknown blond girl who portrayed the Countess Dohna. The journey to Berlin was Greta’s first trip abroad, and she made preparations for it with the greatest excitement. Geography, the hated subject at school, began to take on anew meaning! On Aug. 19 the little party arrived in Berlin. They were met by the company's representatives, who gave them a spectacular welcome—top hats, black coats, bouquets and many other polite attentions marking the importance of the occasion. tt tt tt OSTA BERLING” was received VJ with undisguised enthusiasm. Even at the interval, half-way through, the applause was such as

The distinguished Swedish actor whose friendship, when she was obscure, did much to encourage Greta Garbo. His wife, Karin Mollander. formerly married to the director of the dramatic school where Miss Garbo studied, is numbered among her few intimates.

had seldom been heard before at a theater. The audience was recruited from all the wealth and fashion of Berlin. Critics, actors, dramatists and society celebrities were there. All eyes wandered to the box, where the little group of Swedish visitors sat. Greta had pressed herself against the wall, trying to escape the sweep of opera glasses, but Stiller reminded her that she would have to face many experiences of this kind in future, and made her take her bow with the rest. After the performance a banquet was given in honor of the Swedish guests. In the course of a week the film company got back the 100,000 marks they had paid to Stiller. They had calculated that it could not be done in less than a month, and the success exceeded all their expectations. Altogether, the film made a profit of three-quarters of a million marks. The film company at once wanted to place Stiller under a long-term contract. They were to learn, however, that Stiller was not merely an artist. He was also an exceptionally good business man. Stiller started by bargaining about his artists. “I have engaged Miss Garbo for three years,” he said. “Os course, if you want me, you will take her, too. Then, Einar Hansson is under contract to me. I can not leave him out of the next picture I make.” tt tt tt T 7 VENTUALLY, the company accepted all Stiller's conditions. Greta was to receive a five-year contract with a commencing salary of 500 marks per month (about sl25 —an acceptable increase over her dramatic salary earnings of $37). Stiller himself was to get 150,000 marks for making the first picture. Greta took no interest in all these business transactions. She was glad to be making so much money. Whatever Stiller did was right. She was only too glad to be working in Europe’s leading film city, under the direction of a producer whom she regarded almost as a god. Greta and Stiller were seldom seen in cases and restaurants; yet they were always about together, settling details for the new film. Long afterwards, Greta said to him: “He was the best and kindest and most understanding teacher I ever had. He showed me the way, but never forced my pace.” Stiller wanted to carry out an idea he had long had in mind—the making of a film about the Near East. He contemplated calling it “Hotel Stadt, Lemberg,” and Greta's blond beauty was to be shown against a background resplendent with all the color and richness of the Orient. When his fantastic pians were placed before the film people even they, reckless though they were, paused for a moment and took a deep breath. But Stiller was not inexperienced in the use of eloquence when he

wanted to carry a point. He had no great difficulty in convincing the directors. The film, he explained. would be made in Constantinople. Greta and Einar were to play the leading parts. The climax of the film would be a catastrophe, with crowds of people struggling in a flood. It would have to be well done. u a a 'T'HERE were some quick, lastminute business transactions to complete, a Russian author, Vladimir Semitjov, had been commissioned to write the scenario. Technicians were engaged—a jolly group of young Germans who entered heartily into the spirit of the great adventure. Stiller left nothing to chance. Reflecting that prosperity is not a common condition in the East, he took the precaution of buying some thousands of pairs of boots and corresponding items of dress in order that, his “extras" might be for the mast part decently equipped. At Constantinople an unexpectedly hearty welcome awaited them. News of their coming had traveled ahead, so the Swedish and German consulates sent representatives to see them comfortably settled. Stiller and Greta avoided parties. But they made many a trip through the town together. Stiller felt himself spiritually far more at home in Constantinople than in the northern cities. An Oriental himself, he felt inspired by these surroundings. His mind teemed with new ideas. Greta was happy just to wander by his side. However, all was not going well with the organization. If Stiller's grim face had not been already so lined and impassive, some traces of worry might have been detected there. The first hitch occurred when the man in charge of the luggage was held up for 15 days on the frontier before he could convince the over-cautious authorities that the enormous mass of equipment under his charge was required only for peaceful film purposes. Then the finances of the little band began to founder. tt tt tt STILLER’S optimism asserted itself. He sent a wire to Berlin asking for a million marks to cover expenses in connection with the first part of the film. There was no reply. He sent a second wire, and followed this up with a long letter explaining the whole situation. Days passed and nothing happened. At last Stiller could wait no longer. Taking a hasty leave of his little company, he boarded the Orient express for Berlin. He went at once to the offices of the film company. It took him only a few seconds to realize what had happened. The company, like so many post-war business concerns. had collapsed. Stiller had no money left of his own. It was impossible to raitfe any on the credit of the film company. Eventually the Swedish artists were sent back at the expense of their legation, and the German ministry undertook the same responsibility for its compatriots. The trouble which had gathered about the little band did not apparently, affect Greta in the least. She was too happy in her association with Stiller to be worried about a temporary setback of this kind. She spent the last evening putting her treasures into trunks and packing Stiller’s hastily-left belongings, too. She sat down and wrote a letter to her mother. “In two days I shall be back in Germany,” she wrote, "and you will see how marvelously we shall get on.” (Copyright, 1936. by United Feature Syndicate.
