Greta Garbo Rejected $25 900 for
Six Words on the Radio

} They went dancing at the Beverly
Wiltshire. Then, on Saturday
night, Joan was with Franchot
Tone at the Cocoanut Grove. And
the next evening the pair were
members of a foursome at the
Beverly Wiltshire. And you should
see the Crawford coat of tan
especially against white dress.
All we columnists have things
go amiss occasionally, but it was
rather amusing that Virginia
Cherrill and Cary Grant hap
pened to be at a party together
and heard a New York writer
broadcast news of their split
up. There's lot more interest
in Eric Linden's novel since he
decided not to let it be published
while he remains in Hollywood.
And he had a publisher ready to
go ahead, too. Those lazy days
on the ocean helped Constance
Bennett to put on S pounds. She
wanted to, of course. And, speak
ing OF travellers, Gloria Swanson
is expected back here Sunday. 1t
will be Hollywood's first sight of
her new baby. Jeanne Howard,
former Broadway show beauty, is
seen about with Bill Rankin these
days.

What, No Beer

You were perfectly right about
no beer at Glen Echo Park" writes
General Manager Leonard B.
Schloss, head of the outdoor
amusement resort on the Potomac
Writing to De Arv. G. Barton,
field secretary of the National
Association of Amusement Parks,
under date of March 16, Mr.
Schloss defined his views on this,
saying among other things:
II am of the same opinion as
our good friend, Mr.. ID. S. Hum
phrey, of Euclid Beach, Cleve-
land, Ohio, that beer has no
place at any amusement resort
catering to the better element.
Its sale would undoubtedly tend
to create disorder, increase the
accident hazard on amusement
devices and certainly would re-
fleet on high class operation of
swimming pools unless re-
stricted, and the difficulty Of
restricting the sales to any one
person is great.
Further, amusement parks
catering to a large number of
Sunday school picnics such as
we do at Glen Echo, would un-
dOubtedly feel the loss of great
deal of this class of patronage"
That seems to settle it. Glen
Echo Park will be dry in 1888, and
that's that.

AS he passes the three-quarters

tineless cigar he will tell you
there is nothing he would like to
do better than give Washington

livan. He is trying to interest
the Schuberts in the venture.
When their tangled finances are
Strengthened out he hopes they
will see his way about reopening

HOLLYWOOD, March 30.-As
cables rumor Greta Garbo home
ward bound, Hollywood shakes
it's head over the Swedish stars
latest whimsicality-her reported
reNsal of $4,000 cash to broad
cast six words over a radio
hookup.
Certain manufacturers are said
to have offered this small for
tune if Greta would simply say
into the microphohe: Hello, I'm
glad to be back"
Six words, $4,166.66 a word,
and the Swede simply shakes her
head.
Out here, La Garbo's manager,
Harry Ellington, was offering to
bet $40 to 81 yesterday that his
employer is not on the little
Swedish steamship Annie John
son. He said the star has cabled
him from Stockholm only two
days ago and that it was an i'm
portant message requiring an an
swer. He also denied he has
been commissioned to rent her
a house in Beverly Hills.
It is commonly understood in
Hollywood that Greta will sign
another two year contract with
Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer upon her
return to this country. For some
time. this studio has been work
ing on story, Queen Christina, "
with the actress in mind.
And you'll be interested to hear
that the leading character is an
early Swedish queen, which means
that if Greta accepts the story,
she will do a costume picture.
One of the best stories Of the
week has to do with two brothers,
who are well-known Hollywood
scenarists.
The other day a collector caught
one of them in a studio commits
sary and asked for payment of a
tailor'S bill. He talked so loud
that everybody at the nearby
tables heard what was going on.
But, fortunately, he had presented
the bill to the wrong brother.
You write a note and I'll see
that my brother gets it," offered
his intended victim.
Ten minutes later. the other
brother came into the commissary.
OCCUPANTS of several tables
watched him as he took the note.
They all knew what was inside.
He read, tore the paper into
small pieces and smiled know
ingly.,
Silly little girl" he said.

which helped to make this
comedy the outstanding hit of

Spring Byington, Selena Royale,

Andrew X. Kelley News which
sponsored the collection of the
fund, Dan Healy to whom the
suggestion was made carried the
idea to that newspaper. The fund
and the testimonial concert was
the result with $2S,000 assured
and Congress accepting the gift
on behalf of the nation.
George M. Cohan was born on

is called a flag-waving comedian,

inclined to accept Victor Herbert's S
laconic comment on his compos-
ing achievement: If you hadn't
written it on Thursday. some
body else would have written it
on Friday" Cohan calls it merely
the bugle call set to lyrics.
AS for the swimming pool idea,
Mr.. Cohan saw no reason why
the President should have to go
to Georgia for a swim when he
might enjoy a plunge in his own

Gabriel Arrives
At Palace
Friday

Hailed as a startling new de-
parture in the field of motion
pictures, Gabriel over the White
House." new Cosmopolitan pro-
duction, comes Friday to Loew's
Palace Theater. Based on the
sensational anonymous novel. the
film deals with an imaginary fu-
ture President of the United
States who has been given unpre-
cedented legislative powers.
Walter Huston, who had the
title role in Abraham Lincoln"
is seen as President Judson Ham
mond. Strictly a party man"
as he is inaugurated into office
as the Chief Executive. Hammond
is transformed from an ordinary
flesh-and-blood politician into a
President whose domineering per-
Sonality brings about a number of
extraordinary changes in the gov.
ernment of the country.
Among the thrilling highlights
of the picture are the spectacular
Inauguration of a new President,
the revolt of thousands of unem-
ployed men, the dismissal of the
Cabinet by Hammond, an address
by the President to the House Of
Representatives, the legalization
of liquor in the country, and q
war debts conference held on the
deck of the presidential yacht.
Gabriel Over the White
House" has been called the most
realistic perturbation of future
events that has yet been filmed.
1t was directed by Gregory La
Cava, with an elaborate cast that
includes Karen Morley, Franchot
Tone, Arthur Byron, David Ian
dau and Jean Parker.
Timeliness of the photoplay is
revealed by the fact that such
measures as the emergency bank
ing bill, the economy bill and pro-
hibition repeal are among impor.
tant legislative measures dis
cuSSed.

Columbia Players
To Give Two Dramas

Taking a two-fisted punch at
depression, the Columbia Players,
their money tied up tight in a
closed bank, are changing their
plans for the remainder of the
season and will produce two full
length plays instead of one.
Plans for production of Shaw's
"Androcles and the Lion" have
been abandoned, although it will
probably be part of next years
program.
Instead the Players are now
working on Frederick Lonsdale's S
Spring Cleaning" for production
in mid-April, and a manuscript
play, Midnight" by Claire and
Paul Sifton for presentation at
an invitation performance early
in May. The latter was played
here under the title In the Mean
time" by the Theater Guild.
OrriS Holland is directing the
first play; Steele Kennedy, the
second.

0peretta Filmed

"Cavalcade," having proven
such a glittering success as a
picture, Metro Goldwyn Mayer
copped an idea believed to be
responsible in part for the
triumph of the Noel Coward play
as a screen story. Fox sent to
England and photographed Cav
alcade" in it's entirety before ever
turning a crank on the picture.
Metro -Goldwyn has just done
the same thing with Cat and the
Fiddle" A crew of % camera
men and technicians went to Al
bany and the operetta was en-
balmed on Eastman film for the
benefit of the Hollywood experts.
M-G-M plans to do the operetta
with Ramon Novarro as it's star.

formance of a motion picture
until last week. Then they saw
j. B. Priestly's Good Compan-
IONS" a feature made at Shep-
herds Bush and according to the
English trade press voted it a
fine picture.
But what made the King and
Queen laugh very heartily was
an American short, "Santa'S
Workshop" a silly symphony
which you folks who patronize
the F Street cinema, saw last
Christmas week. Was The ERA's

Roguish Mr.. Downey

well, Your Honor" this editor
might testify, Il was doing my
work and hard at it yesterday
morning when the phone rang.
/ picked it up and heard an
angry voice inquire why I was
never to be found at the desk
and what did I mean by print
ing that story anyway. My blood
pressure arose a bit and I was
just about to get good and mad
when the voice on the other end
of the phone identified itself as
Morton DoWney."

It - STAGE AND SCREEN
Broadways Of the World
By MARK HELLINCER.

Some day I expect to be per-
mitted to dine alone with a
man-but the day is not yet
here"
got that for two or three
days or until I learned to duck
when the young lady appeared.
There was no racket about the
thing and one of the ships Of
ficers assured me that Miss
Hungary came from one of the
finest families in all Europe.
Incidentally she and are
among the few passengers who
are leaving the boat at Bombay.
She remains in India while I
expect to tour the country, and
then hop over to Siam. Our
passports are together for the
customs officials and that's
how learned her age.
She is 43 years Of age. Now
you figure it out. E.
Tall Thin Man
A tall, thin man who always
wears glasses. He has spoken
to no one except his cabin
steward from the day the boat
left New York until the present
writing-or so the passengers
assure me. He walks around
and around and around the
deck. and he occasionally plays
a little deck golf when there is
no one else in the vicinity.
He has never purchased a
drink of any kind-including
soda and orangeade-and he
keeps as far as possible from
any entertainment that might
be taking place on board. He
never smiles, and he spends
much of his time in the ships
comfortable library. I should
judge him to be about fifty
years of age.
During the early part of the
voyage. 1 am told, he was
placed at a table with three
women in the dining salon. The
man spoke no word to them,
and one of the ladies felt that
it was her duty as a Christian
to make him a little happier, if
possible. Along about the fourth
day, during the middle of the
meal, she smiled at him while
the other two women looked on.
"It's been a very pleasant
journey so far, hasn't it?" she
asked.
He glared at her.
Shut up" was his reply.
"You hens talk too damned
much"
Now he sits alone.

Why Did He Do 1t?

Inc question OF Lne oay ana
night was: Why did he grow it?
The first theory was that he
had done it for religious rea-
sons. The party was visiting
Jerusalem, and perhaps he had
relatives there who we're highly
religious. It was Mr.. E.,
himself, who halted that theory
when he stated that it made no
difference to him whether the
party touched Jerusalem or
not.
Serious men and strong.rnind-
ed women actually sat down to
solve the problem. And I'm
not kidding, either. One in
sisted it was a bet. Another
held fast to the theory that his
face had suddenly developed a
horrible blemish. A third ad-
vanced the opinion that the
bride had made him do it be-
cause she was once wildly in
love with a Russian. And so
on down the line.
Sitting with Mr.. E. on
the deck one night fell like
all the rest. I. too, asked him
the real reason why he grew
the beard. He sighed.
"It's simplicity ITSELF" he re-
turned, "and why the other
passengers keep looking for a
mystery is more than I can
understand. I grew the beard
because I thought I'd be more
comfortable and because 1
didn't want to shave. My wife
agreed with me and that's all
care about. The passengers
who don't like it can go to
blazeS."
For which sentiments Mr..
E. not only deserves a
beard-but a large medal as
well. :.
Real Hungarian
The girl from Hungary. In
this modern age of SophiStica-
ton she is most amazing
creature. The first thing she
told me when she met me was
that she was never permitted
to go out alone with a man.
That was rather startling be-
cause the girl looked quite old
enough to take care of herself.
She had long hair and she
never used paint and powder
of any kind. That would have
been perfectly all right, but
didn't like the way she kept
dwelling on the fact.
"Ah, my dear man." she
cooed, you did not see the
Hungary that we Of the nobil-
ity love so dearly. What did
you see in Budapest? The
cafes, I suppose. What a pity!
d. you know that have never
been in one of those places?
mo, indeed. If my mamma
knew that I was even talking
aoOuC Cnem, Sne would be very
shocked.
You notice that I do not
use powder and that my hair is
long? That is because I am
a Hungarian girl of noble
birth. Oh, yes. There are a
few of us left in lovely Buda-
pest. 1 am one of the few.
Why, do you know that if
mamma knew that I was talk
ing to you so informally about
powder and such things she
would be very angry?
II suppose it is all very sur
prising to you. But that is the
way we real Hungarians are.
