LOEW'S OPENS ITS EASTER BASKET OF COMING ATTRACTIONS

Variety Bill Is Promised Screen Fans 'These Three’ to Give Way Friday to New Double Feature Program. Ward Farrar, Loew’s Theater manager, prematurely opened his Easter basket today and displayed an array of coming pictures which should be as entertaining as those shown during the last six months, which Included “Mutiny .on the Bounty,' 1 “David Copperfleld” and “Rose Marie." Loews spring parade got off to a flying start this week with an excellent screen adaptation of the stage hit, “Children's Hour,” entitled “These Three." Starting Friday, Loew’s is to offer “Rpbin Hood of El Dorado,” starring Margo and Warner Baxter, and “You May Be Next,” featuring Ann Sot hern and Lloyd Nolan. Baxter Takes Old Role The first of the films is the type In which Mr. Baxter came to the talking screen, and the second concerns a master criminal whd has invented a device to interfere with radio programs broadcast by the networks. For his forthcoming programs, Mr. Farrar is to get from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayef* “Petticoat Fever,” starring Robert Montgomery and Myrna Loy; “Small Town Girl,” ■with Janet Gay nor and Robert Taylor; “Garden Murder Case,” in which Edmund Lowe and Virginia Bruce appear; “San Francisco,” starring Clark Gable and Jeanette MacDonald, and the promising “Romeo and Juliet,” which has Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer for leading cast members. Well’s Story Coming Foremost among the United Artists’ productions which .Loew’s ls‘ to, show this spring i$ h. G. Wells’ “Things to Com#',” filmed in England by Alexander Korda. It gives one an insight into what his grandchildren may see. Mary Pickford’s “One Rainy Afternoon,” which stars Francis Lederer, and “The Last of the Mohicans,” an outdoor spectacle, also are included in the group from this producing unit. From Columbia Pictures, Loew’s Is to draw “Mi Deeds Goes to Town,” the Frank Capra production starring Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur; Grace Moore’s next screen venture, "The King Steps Out.” and Ruth Chatterton's come-back vehicle, “Lady of Secrets.” If, by any chance, these are movie fans who can not find satisfaction in this list, Mr. Farrar has fortified himself with nine “Silly Symphonies” and nine Mickey Mouse cartoons for the next few months. Rathbone Picks Up Gable's Lucky Piece Times Special HOLLYWOOD. March 24.—1 t was a lucky day when Clarke Gable lent his dressing room to Basil Rathbone, while the latter was playing Tybalt in “Romeo and Juliet.” For months Gable had mourned the loss of a lucky quarter picked up in the oil fields of Oklahoma. A short time after finding the coin Gable returned to the stage, and it was only a few years until he had won stardom in Hollywood. Rathbone was making room for his own wardrobe in a closet of the dressing room, when the quarter fell from the cuff of a pair of Gable’s trousers. He apparently had dropped it and the coin had caught in the cuff. Reginald Denny Jr. Acts at Four Years Times Special HOLLYWOOD. March 24.—Reginald Denny Jr., age 4. is the sixth generation of his family to act. Reggie Jr. visited his father on the "Romeo and Juliet” set. “At his age,” Reginald Denny Sr. told Director George Cukar, “I was starting my career on the stage.” “We can’t let your father get ahead of you,” said Director Cukor, and he then gave the youngster a part as one of the boys in a Verona street scene. His father purchased his check for a dime and is keeping it for a souvenir. Bellamy Goes on Tour Ralph Bellamy having completed his asignment in “Roaming Lady.” in which he is featured with Fay Wray, has left Hollywood for a tour of personal appearances. Belt -to Thi Beta Kappa John Ho .rd, young Paramount actor, is one of the few screen celebrities who belongs to 3 hi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity.

GARBO THE MYSTERIOUS

CHAPTER ELEVEN (Continued) Not for many months had Brisson’s publicity received such am impetus as it derived from the supa readiness which denotes perfect discipline. But her extreme shyness gives her whimsical impulses to run away. In 19/7, Prince Wilhelm, second son of the King of Sweden, made a lecture tour in the United States, in the course of which he visited Hollywood. The “royal set” at Hollywood, led by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, at once made a lion of him, and the usual banquet was arranged at Pickfair, every one of note being invited. He was entranced by the galaxy of beauty gathered around h.m, but all the time his eyes wandered over the rows of pretty women looking for one little Swedish face. It was Greta Garbo he had hoped to find. She had, indeed, been invited, but she had not turned up. Five years later he sat beside her by chance in the stalls of a theater, when Greta paid one of her periodical stealthy visits to a show He recognized her, of course, but no sign of recognition passed between them. a it tt another occasion, Marion Davies gave a dinner party to Lady Louis Mountbatten while that distinguished traveler was visiting Hollywood. Greta was invited at the express desire of the guest of honor. Once again she sent her regards. Lady Louis, however, was more persistent than most visitors. A few days later she made arrangements to visit Culver City, and word was sent to Greta that this representative of the English royal family would like to meet her. This time Greta was angry They knew her rule. Why would they allow people to pester her? She threatened to walk out, and the officials became alarmed. Lady Louis Mountbatten did not meet Greta Garbo. The most difficult, situation Greta had to face in her prejudice against meeting royalty was when the Prince of Wales came to Stockholm in 1932. The wife of the British Ambassador, who acted as H. R. H.’s hostess, and his equerry, Kammerherre Rolf Von Heidenstam did their best to ’.ring them together. A dinner party was arranged in Greta’s honor, the Prince planning to arrive quite informally and claim a dance with her. Greta, however, was well informed. and knew what would happen. That evening she had a pressing engagement. It consisted, in fact, of paying a long-delayed visit to her old friends, the Lundells. One more attempt was made. Carl Bernadotte, Count of Wisborg, the King's nephew and husband of the wealthy Manville heiress, gave a sumptuous party for the Prince in his beautiful new house at Djurgarten. But nothing would induce Greta to mix with royalty, and the Prince of Wales had to return to England without seeing her. tt tt U WHAT is Greta Garbo really like? The most intriguing thing about Garbo is precisely the veil of mystery in which she has so successfully shrouded herself. She is no longer shyly awkward. She is a polished woman of the world. She is also, perhaps, the most sought-after woman of the world. Yet this particular brand of popularity leaves her absolutely cold. For her work she likes to be known. She pays minute attention to criticism of her pictures, and never ignores press cuttings relating to her film activities. But the unbridled interest of journalism in her private life drives her to distraction.

Dances Way From Bowes' Hour to Stage at Lyric in 21 Hours ■Seems Like a Dream,’ Says Frances White, 16-Year-Old Tap Entertainer, After First Show Here. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON Little Frances White, the 16-year-old Brooklyn (N Y.) hoofer lardlv can be blamed for saying, “it all seems like "a dream,” after her first appearance with the Major Bowes’ amateur unit at the Lyric j csteraay.

Frances stepped up before the Major's microphone in New York Sunday evening, told him her ambition was to "be the world's greatest woman tap dancer.” She also said she had never been on a stage before. Within 15 minutes after she ended her skit on the radio amateur hour, a wire from Charles Olsen, Lyric manager, arrived at the station, asking her to appear here with the Bowes’ troupe. Just 21 hours later she was in Indianapolis ready to walk on the Lyric stage for her first professional performance. A little tired, a little nervous, but determined not to let it spoil her “break,” she dashed into the spotlight. Pleasingly she sang "Rhythm In My Nursery Rhymes.” More pleasingly she danced intricate little tap steps. The aplause thundred. Smiling and relieved, Frances ran, blushing, into the wings. There was reason enough for her wide-open eyes when she stepped from a transcontinental plane at

No one who has had the privilege of seeing Greta face to face can deny that she is extremely beauti- ! ful. Even when her hair is quite straight (as it is by nature) even when she emerges with it all wet from her bath; even when she strains it severely back, as she often does in the privacy of her home, or screws it up under a bathing cap, she is still a beautiful woman. The chiselled regularity of her features seems to overcome every effort to make her look plain. Her eyes are more striking for their expression than for their size or color. Her sweeping lashes are unique. Her friends know only one person who has eyelashes to equal ners in beauty, and that is her brother, Sven. She has a rather large, but soft and sympathetic, mouth, while her teeth are pearly white and regular. It is said that they were not always so small as they are now. Skilled filing at an early stage in her screen career made them more suitable for film purposes. Similarly, her eyebrows were slightly plucked to increase the natural symmetry of their high arches. Greta is not so tall as she appears in the pictures; but her long limbs, narrow hips and square shoulders make her appear taller than she is. Her feet are not small, but very slim. In her impoverished youth she knew the agonies of thin shoes, ill-fitting and leaky. Consequently, nowadays, she values foot comfort above everything, and will never, for the sake of appearances, squeeze her feet into frivolous little feminine shoes. Greta’s childhood ambition was to build up in her own sm dl person a reflection of Naima Wifstraod’s personality. She would practice walking up and down the family living room, speaking improvised lines, deliberately pitching her voice to Naima’s tone, and imitating Naima’s movements and gestures. Greta still retains from Naima the trick of lingering on certain vowel sounds. Her pronunciation of the word “love,” for instance, is that which Miss Wifstrand in her accented English habitually employed. CHAPTER TWELVE GRETA’S STRANGE IMPULSES RETA S nature is extremely V_F sensitive and responsive to outside influences. She mimics easily, and often quite unconsciously. This is the reason why Mauritz Stiller found her such entrancing material to work with. He could mold her, with the sure touch of a born producer, to his will. With all her love of privacy and solitude, sire is not able to live alone. She always must have a companion. Her tendency to single out individual persons as special fa- \ orites, and to lavish her company upon them for long periods to the almost complete exclusion of everyone else, has caused more gossip than anything else about her. Hence she remains a lonely soul, and her friendships rarely seem to bring her lasting satisfaction. She finds comfort in inanimate objects and pets. Her home-mak-ing instincts have never yet found expression. Yet she loves old furniture, oriental idols, good pictures, German books, dancing by Swedish artisfs, super acting, classical or folk music. Everything Swedish naturally appeals to her, and when working in America, she simply lives for those periods of holiday which take her back to her native land. She is extremely attached to her family. When in Sweden for holidays, she invariably devotes the annual festivals to her relatives. She would not dream of spending Christmas away from her mother, and on New Year’s eve, when the wealthiest in the land would consider it an honor to entertain her, she declines to leave home unless she has first assured herself that

Municipal Airport yesterday noon. It was her first time out of New York, her first flight in a plane. "I was sick all the way,” she said. Only child of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Bloss (he’s a subway guard), Frances looks as though she would have to jump up and down on the scales to make them reach 100. She’s been dancing all her life, studied at Mabel Horsey’s school in New York. In the afternoons when her school work was done she used to go to the basement, try out tap steps of her own composition. Finally her dancing became her first love and she gave up high school. Her practice sessions lasted most of the day, she says An application for a place on the Bowes’ program had been in four weeks before she received the call. "Some day,” Miss White said, “I want to write my own dance creations. When Eleanor Powell's popularity dies down I want to be there to take her place.”

As if she were not already hidden behind a baffling smoke-screen of secrecy, Greta Garbo thickens the mist by puffing on a pipe. This photograph above was taken on the bridge of the steamer carrying her back for a visit to her home in Sweden.

her mother wall have Sven, at least, with her, to see the New Year in, tt it tt PERHAPS the greatest proof of Greta’s character is the veneration in which she is held by her whole family. This opinion is not based on generosity, for old Fru Gustafsson spends very little of the money Greta lavishly sends her, and the young people are sturdily determined to stand upon their own feet. The more distant relatives are equally independent. When Greta wishes to help her poorer relations, she is forced to do so in a roundabout way, in order not to hurt their pride. Although all these have been badgered for years by newspaper representatives willing to pay almost any price for inside stories of Greta’s early life, not a single one of them would be so disloyal as to sell the slightest information. Greta’s personal vanity is of the slightest. Her tastes are simple. She does not waste money on foolish frivolities, unnecessary clothes, jewels. Her only articles of personal adornment are some trifling rings she had when she was a child. tt it GRETA’S Christmas in Sweden in 1932 was an axious time for the Gustafsson family. Baby AnnaGreta was taken suddenly ill. Sven, who for some time had been in poor health, also suddenly developed more serious symptoms, but anxious to show his independence of his sister’s wealth he forced himself to carry on. A few days before Christmas all three were in hospital, Sven in one ward, Anna-Greta in another, and Sven’s wife Peggy giving her own blood for transfusions to save the infant’s life. Almost miraculously the child pulled through, and Sven, too, was sufficiently recovered early in the new year to take part in a few very quiet celebrations. Greta, fulfilling

Writer Learns of Life in Jail First Hand While Serving Term Martin Mooney, Ex-Newspaperman, Back at Film Work with Material Gathered During Imprisonment. Times Special HOLLYWOOD, March 24.—After 25 days in Queens County jail, New York, Martin Mooney, former crack newspaperman, was back at work at Warner Brothers studio this week, writing “So You Won’t Talk?” for his next screen assignment.

He was sentenced to serve 30 days for refusing to divulge sources of his information on rackets to a New York grand jury. He was given five days off for good behavior. “That was the longest month I ever lived,” Mooney said, “but it had its compensations. I've got enough material for a year’s work. You can’t imagine what goes on inside a prison until you’ve been part of it.” Mooney, who received his regular salary from Warner Brothers during the 25 days, was offered a vaudeville contract which would have paid him $103,000. He turned it down. “Everybody would have said, ‘Oh, I see why that guy went to jail,” he explained. While serving his term, Mooney was given the status of a trusty, was allowed the run of the prison. But he had certain duties. He rose at 6 each morning, had to scrub down his cell and served kitchen police duty for 21 men each meal. Another of his daily chores was to slice 100 loaves of bread each day. The inmates who “ran” the prison immediately took in Mooney. Stoolpigeons and crack-pots were pointed

the duty which had drawn her to Sweden, spent Christmas Eve in strictest privacy with her mother. Only one person seemed to enjoy her complete confidence. That was Max Gumpel, whom she had met at the Dramatic School, long before Greta had ever dreamed of going to America. He fell deeply in love with her, and would have married her if she had been so inclined. But Greta went to America and Max married someone else and his wife bore him five children. He gave her a tasteful and comfortable home. But somehow love flew out at the window when Greta’s name became a household word. Eventually, with Greta’s return to Stockholm imminent, the wife took a decisive step, secured a divorce and carried off the youngest child with her, leaving Max to look after the rest. It was all vary sad and inexplicable. tt tt tt JUST exactly how Max and Greta came together again no one quite knew. But to his motherless home the proud Max brought the lady of his dreams; and Greta, shedding all shyness, spent many happy a hour playing unreservedly with his children. Her interest in children was anew phase in Greta’s complex character. She seemed to find in their simple directness a refreshing relief from the finessing subtlety of her fellow-adults. Greta makes no secret of the fact that she hopes one day to possess a home of her own. The house of her dreams has often been a subject of discussion in the privileged circle admitted to her intimate confidence. Will Greta ever marry? That is a question very often on the lips of her admirers. Personally, I feel that if once she could meet a man with the patient tenderness of a lover and the ennobling authority of a father rolled into one, she would find happiness.

out to him and he became a link in the grapevine systeih of news dispensing. He learned how to open a safe from one of New York’s most skillful “crackers.” He was taught how to make a knife from a tobacco tin. But his greatest achievement, according to Mooney, was learning to sleep on the upper deck of a small cell cot eight feet from the floor. His first story since leaving prison probably is to be called “Payroll.” His “Bullets or Ballots,” written before he went to jail, is being filmed with Edward G. Robinson in the leading role.

HER TRUE STORY By ELISABETH VON CAUB

Not for her the adoration which is merely grovelling sentimentality. She must find a man whom she can respect, who can, despite her wealth and fame, command her unquestioning obedience by a loyalty surely grounded in the knowledge that his grasp of the technique of living is at least equal, if not superior, to her own. It must, in fact, be a union based on mental qualities quite as much as on affection. The domineering brilliance of Mauritz Stiller, the fire of John Gilbert, the simplicity of Sorensen, and, to sum up, the highminded, awe-inspiring aloofness of Carl Gustafson—all these qualities and the tender affection for which her heart craves—such a combination might bring peace to Greta Garbo at last, and exercise that abnormal restlessness of spirit which at present makes her shun her fellow creatures and places her in a class apart. tt it tt HER success has not made her extravagant. During 1934, she received offers for her life story, a radio appearance arid one week on the New York stage. They totalled $260,000, but she turned them down. Her latest picture is “Anna Karenina.” Since then Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer signed her up on a new long term contract the conditions of which are not public. It is possible they will star her in “Cam”le.” She sailed for Sweden in June,

Just Plain Peculiar Are These Romances of Hollywood Folk Married One Day-Gone the Next; Yet There Are Those Attachments of Love as Stanch as Gibraltar. HOLLYWOOD, March 24. —Nothing seems to be quite so inconsistent as the Hollywood matrimonial situation.

Some people marry in haste and repent at leisure. Dorothy Lee isn’t allowing any grass widowers to grow under her feet, though. At 25 she has just acquired a fourth husband, the wealthy A. G. Cox of Crown Point, Inn. On the other hand, there’s the mature deliberation of Patricia Overman and Jerry Meacham, whose wedding has just culminated the only formal three-year engagement of which the film colony has ever heard. Somewhat different are the impending nuptials of Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard, who, though not admittedly betrothed, have been inseparable companions for four years. Secrecy Is Puzzling Such secrecy is a little puzzling, as in the case of Douglas Fairbanks. Nobody knows what he gained by concealing his intent to marry Lady Ashley and thereby allowing the loose-tongues to re-link his name with Mary Pickford. Young, matinee-idolish Robert Taylor told me that he’d announce an engagement if he were engaged, but that if he were actually to marry he’d keep it a secret. Which seems to be a bit of pretty fine discrimination in gauging fan opinion. And it raises a couple of questions: Do fans care whether a star is married; and, if they did care, would they be more resentful when they found out they’d been deceived? Ballyhoo Not Bad Omen A ballyhoo marriage is likely to turn out as successfully as any. When Rod Laßocque was a topnotch star and Vilma Banky was an unknown from Hungary, they fell in love. Both were under contract to Samuel Goldwyn, and he recognized a chance for a great publicity stunt. The wedding was heralded six weeks in advance by an expenditure of something like $50,000. Most of Hollywood attended the super-spectacle and Goldwyn himself gave away the bride. That marriage is doing very well indeed. The Laßocques celebrated their tenth anniversary the other day. Swanson Bids for Lead Unless something happens to the Gloria Swanson-Herbert Marshall romance, she's likely to be the mostmarried actress. Marshall would be No. 5. Josephine Dunn took a fourth husband last year. Jean Harlow and Lina Basquette have been married three times. Bela Lugosi and Eddie Sutherland are the most-married men, tied at 4. James F. Lewis has been married twice to Hester Deane. And

1935, keeping to herself on the boat and staying in her cabin most of the time. Because her steward divulged the fact that she ordered no meat, all the newspapers came out with stories about her being a vegetarian. She expected to stay in Sweden till late in the fall of 1936. The usual rumors were being bruited about her. It was said she arranged to settle in Sweden for the rest of her life. That she had purchased a 200-year-old castle formerly the property of Jenny Lind. That she longed for the simple life and wanted to raise carrots. These rumors were baseless. Miss Garbo’s present contract is the most advantageous she has ever had. Unlike other stars, she has not lost her market value since the depression set in. On the contrary, it seems to be steadily rising. And when this contract comes to end, what will she do? Return home, perhaps. Whatever happens, there is just one person in Sweden who will always follow her movements with a devotion which has not a trace of selfishness in it. That person is her mother, Fru Gustafsson. In her eyes, whatever the great star does is right, and she lives only for the day when her “lilla Kata” will return home satisfied and happy. THE END (Copyright. 1936. by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

lan Keith twice took vows with the Baroness Fern Andra, former foreign star. But she divorced him a second time and walked to the altar with Torchy Peden, the bicycle rider. Oddest Hollywood union is that of Carl Brisson, the Danish actor, and Cleo Jorgenson. They were born next door to each other in Copenhagen, sometimes slept in the same crib, and played together before they could talk. They were married at 16, and have been happy for 23 years. Briefest Hollywood marriage: Lona Andre and Edward Norris; she filed for divorce in five days. Paul Ames, the millionaire broker, and June Knight parted after 12 days. Long Term Unions Longest-term marriages: George Barbier and Carrie Thatcher, and Cecil B. DeMille and Constance Adams. You wouldn’t remember those ceremonies. They occurred 33 years ago. A year behind are Fred Stone and Allene Crater. Next, Warner Oland and Edith Sharn. Tied for fourth place are James Gleason and Lucille Webster, and Helen Broderick and Lester Crawford. The Jean Hersholts have been married 22 years; the Joe E. Browns 20; the Roscoe Karns 19; the Robert Woolseys 19; the Leslie Howards and Warner Baxters 18. 'Tango'Opens 3-Day Run at Ambassador The picture adaptation of Vida Hurst’s novel, “Tango,” is to open at the Ambassador Theater today for a three-day engagement. Marian Nixon is starred as Treasure McGuire. Chick Chandler, Warren Hymer, Marie Prevast and George Barbier are in the supporting cast. The story concerns a silk stocking model who resists the advances of her employer, only to fall in love with his brother. When the boss discovers their secret marriage, he seeks to have it annulled, but the tables turn. The second feature on the Ambassador program is “The Ghost Goes West,” starring Robert Donat and Jean Parker.

Players Hit With Funny Stage Farce •Mrs. 'Temple’s Telegram’ Given at Keith’s by Federal Actors. The Federal Players are putting a best foot forward at Keith's this week in the production of “Mrs. Temple's Telegram.” a farcical nightmare, which proves that truth may be stranger, but not funnier, than fiction. The trouble starts when Jack Temple, happily married, comes home in the morning and tells his wife he has been marooned all night on a ferris wheel. He does not tell her he was on the wheel with an unknown married woman. Mrs. Temple, of course, does not believe her husbands tale, so he makes up another story. He tells her he stayed all night at the home of a friend. John Brown of Pickleton. She secretly dispatches a telegram to this address. A Friend in Need Jack's friend, Frank Fuller, calls on him, and they discover the print of the telegram on the blotter where Mrs. Temple had written it. Jack confides in Frank and it is decided Frank will call on Mrs. Temple (who has never met him) and pose as John Brown. He does and Mrs. Temple is humilated at her suspicions. But it turns out that there is a real John Brown of Pickleton. He and his wife call on the Temples and the plot is stirred to boiling confusion, with everything coming out just about as expected. This play proves that comedy, slapstick or drawing room, is the Federal Players’ best channel. Jack Duval, Ned Le Fevre and Ira B. Klein stand out in leading roles. Paul Rouse does his best work for the Players as the giddy, little hairdresser who is the real John Brown. Alice Arnold and Betty Anne Brown carry the ladies’ parts with ease. The setting for “Mrs. Temple’s Telegram” is one of the best yet seen at the theater. The comedy is obvious, and broad with oldfashioned asides aiding in the explanation of the meandering plot. The play is to be presented each night this week, with a matinee Saturday. (By J. W. TANARUS.) Symphony to Bring Pianist Rudolph Reuter to Play at Concert Tonight.
