New Scenario Ready For
Swedish Stars Arrival
Creta Carlo Will Play the Leading Role in
Christine" According to Present Plans-Kath-
arne Hepburn Proves Her Serious Rival.
Bv Mollie Merrick.

1 the flash of this girl in the closing
scenes of the picture when, a suicide
for love, she tears off her oxygen mask
while making an altitude record and,
as the meter goes up and up, sets the
stick which carries her to a whtrling
finish through 10000 feet.
I doubt If more exquisite imaginative
play could be given this scene. by any
other Hollywood actress. Seeing this
fine work one becomes impatient at the
fol-de-rol of a good deal Of the rest
of the picture-the deliberate and pain
full whimsicality of its characters-the
shallow, fiibbertigibbet dialogue-the
depressing sincerity of Billie Burke as
the wife, role they did not allow to
be lightened by even the slightest flash
of humor or life.
When Garbo returns she will make
picture called Christina" unless this
title is changed. 1t will be the story
of that Queen whose eccentricities kept
all Europe on edge during her span. De-
spite rumors to the contrary, Carlo
Is evidently returning on the same basis
on which she left these shores, secrecy;
avoiding of the slightest revealment of
place, plan or purpose. George Bernard
Shaw, conversing about movies in gen.
eral and movie personalities in particu-
lar, feels this is the only thing to do,
in order to perpetually intrigue the
public.
In order to perpetually intrigue the
public, an artist must reveal in his or
her performances some Of that price
less philter of temperament that the
average man and woman does not pos
sess. Because of it Katharine Hep
burn, who is not SO comely from GER
tain angles, is exquisitely beautiful at
other times. Because of 1t, there plays
through her countenance q flame to
which the average face is stranger. Be-
cause Of that sudden lighting of Gar
bo's soul, thousands of people watch
her through average footage, and some
times dull footage. Often they COM
plain that they don't see what the pub
lie finds in her. Frequently they say
they are not going to see a certain
picture. But back they come-and
sometimes three and four times-to
catch that unforgettable moment.
Katharine Hepburn has given us
some such unforgettable moments in
christopher Strong; because of them
people will do the thing which has
made Garbo a boX-office success. They
will come back three and four and five
times to watch that face under emo
tional conditions which make it some
thing not Of earth.
Garbos following is good for an av-
erage of three attendances to each pic
ture. Other stars get one and have
wider circle of fans.

T OLLYwOOD, Calf, April l.
IL Greta Garbo is en- route to
Hollywood and Hollywood Is
i i all ready with q picture for
Garbo. When the Swedish
box-office star arrives here she VIII
find her biggest opposition in public
appeal will still be Katharine Hepburn,
the girl who, after her frs motion
picture, "a Bill of Divorcement," be-
came the best runner-up on Carlo
glamour of any one on the screen today.
This may be said despite the fact
that good deal of Katharine Hep
burns latest picture, christopher
Strong" is phonied up in an attempt
to make the star a cross between
Charles Augustus Lindbergh and Amelia
Earnay>> In the scenes which depict
Katharine Hepburn as the aviatrix first
and woman second she Is more spec
tacular and less appealing than in the
truly emotional sequences, in which she
breaks through with as fine bit OF
poignance as has ever been given on
the screen-the same thing which made
the scenes with John Barrymore in the
Clemence Dane play unforgettable.
The careers Of these two women have
one slight parallel Both came to
HOLLYWOOD under the cloak OF hokum
publicity campaign, which in Hepburn's
case made her young modern helress
excessively whimsical in the spend
ing of her five millions-and totally
indifferent as to whether or not she
would make pictures because OF this
five millions. The cloak OF mystery
which has kept much of Garbo's iden-
tity from the public has been pierced
to the extent that girls who knew he:'
when she was a BARRIERS assistant in
Sweden have written of the days when
Greta mixed as fine bowl OF lather
as ever graced Swedish mug.
MY masseuse, a fine girl from tnat
country, whose varied career as mas
seuse and acrobat is worthy OF a classic
pen, tells me that Greta piled her
trade and massaged the muScle-bound
limbs of acrobats in the old days. Be
that as it may, she's a pretty silken
lady today when the camera turns and
shows a face Of unforgettable carven
beauty when she glides inconspicuously
along in beret and sports coat on Hol-
lywood streets. Watching that face
in camera, the audience feeds on its
own emotions into that mask, for aside
from an occasional light, which comes
into an impenetrable countenance,
there is little visible surge to go by.
Miss Hepburn, in the love scenes In
christopher Strong" is tempestuous
creature with a flash of tears in her
fine eyes and a sudden fire playing
across a countenance that is half
demon and half madonna-like the fire
in an opal. Perhaps the most beauti-
full shot ever made on the screen is
