This IL the opinion of King
Vidor, director of 1.-The Big
Parade" 1.-The Crowd" and "The
Patsy" who is a close personal
friend Of Miss Garbo. Vidor has
watched Miss Garbo work ever
since she arrived at the Metro.
Goldwyn-Mayer studios.
Vidor bases his impression not
only from his acquaintance with
the star but also on her work in
Love-" now playing at Loew's
Columbia Theater, in which she is
co-starred with John Gilbert.
"Greta Garbo has a personality
that interests both men and wom-
en-" said Vidor. "She is a
woman with a cold exterior which
guards a terrific interior warmth.
On the screen she registers both
the interior heat and the exterior
frigidness perfectly without facial
grimaces or contortions and in a
natural, true to life manner.
Both men and women go to
see her pictures and have their
interest held while in the theater
by curiosity as to which OF Miss
Garbo's personalities will dominate.
The Washington times., 1927-12-30

when the breaking point will come.
ITO me there is something of the
civilized peasant in Miss Garbo.
She is a creature of the clouds
and yet OF the earth and earthly.
She is Of nature and close to the
essential heart Of things.
"One OF her great guarantees
for future success-and, she will
have much of it's that neither
her features nor her acting is too
perfect. Her very variations from
the normal make her irresistible.
