An Artist at Work.

CRETA GARBO arrives at the
~ studio promptly at Z O'Clock in
the morning, long before employees
and fellow players file through the
gates. She goes directly to her dress
ing room, accompanied by her maid.
The next two hours are devoted to
breakfast, makeup, wardrobe and
memorizing dialogue for the days
work before the camera.
Precisely at 9 o'clock she is on the
sound stage. Sometimes she rides
but more often she walks. Her
entrance is the signal for work to be-
gin. The crews are ready; the
cameras are loaded; the lights are
set. There are few rehearsals before
actual shooting begins; more often
there are none.
While she Is present upon the stage,
conversations become whispers, people
walk on tiptoe. Nor is this done by
order; it is sign of respect.
Following each scene, she retires
to her dressing room. There she
remains alone until the director is
ready for the next sequence. Some
times the director visits her to dis
cuss the next scene.
She seldom interrupts q scene once
the cameras have started to turn, but
two or three times during the morn
ing hours between scenes she will
call for cup Of coffee.
Noon arrives. Miss Garbo goes
to her dressing room She lunches
in solitude. At l o'clock she Is back
on the set. Then follows appearances
before the camera, unfaltering
speeches that require no retakes, oc-
casional conferences with the director
At 5 o'clock she walks quietly from
the stage and Ii driven home.

reach prominence by kind Of zig

popularity before they have really had
time to learn the groundwork Of a
sound technique. But Miss Philips
has moved on constantly rising line
through roles Of regularly increasing
importance.
Her first contribution to the theater
was a loaf of bread. At an early
age she took it instead Of flowers to
the leading lady in the stock company
in her home town Of New London,
Conn. 1t was at this time that Mary
Philips evidently made up her young
mind to go on the stage herself. How
ever, parents being what they are. she
was obliged to delay her ambition

Then she went to New York and
promptly got an engagement in a
successful musical comedy called

she was given a speaking role in an
other musical piece, THE Poor Little

vaudeville for time, and then fol-
lowed an invaluable season In stock
at the Belasco here in washington.
She considers this most important
part in her training. It led to her

the best story in the world can be
massacred by careless treatment. OF

it is what the happy human being

WHO is Elizabeth Bergner?
w There have been many queries
about the star of Catherine the
Great" the British film which has
met with generous approval in New
York and which comes to Washington
this week. So, with friend Hardie
Meakin acting as guide and aiding us
in our researches, we present for your
approval small biography of some
one who is likely to be a great star.
Frau Bergner was born in Vienna.
She first attained fame on the Ger
man stage as Ophelia, then as Viola,
then as Juliet, and by the time she
was playing Mr. Shaw's Saint Joan"
she was one of the most sought-after
actresses on the continent.
Thereafter, having learned English
and the manners of the English
stage, she played Mrs. Cheney in The
Last of Mrs. Cheney" Nina in
Strange Interlude" and Tessa In
The Constant Nymph." Right now,
after a good many sessions with the
films. she is playing in London In
Escape Me Never" which Broadway
audiences are likely to see in the Fall.
Two other items from a fine bio
graphical sheet strike our eye: She
is warm, she is cold, she is feminine,
she is boyish"-and says Mr.. Meakin,
like Dust, Bernhard and Ellen Terry,
she is not a type" Mr.. Meakin means.

1t was he, think, who first suggested
that II enough insect powder could
be sprinkled around the District Of

the bureaus would lose most of their
members. He did not spare them from
his salty quips and he made them

Lately Mr.. Rogers, embracing the
spirit of the times, became less criti-
cal of the Government and its admin
istrators. Where once he welded the
scourge, he was in his last lecture or
two an obsequious yes-man, apologiz-
ing for whatever insults he might have
bestowed upon the politicians in Con-
gress assembled. Cynics have hinted
that Mr.. Rogers mellowing began
with an invitation to dine at the
White House, and that there, under
the Presidential mesmerism, he de-
cided to abandon complaint and to
take up advocacy. That. of course,
as the saying goes, Is the sheerest
nonsense. Whatever compromises Mr..
Rogers may have made in his recent
broadcasts are for the best interest
