Speaks of Garbo.

IT isn't often that one screen star
comes to the defense of another
and as valiantly as does Zasu Pitts
for Garbo. Miss Pitts is co-starring
with Slim Summerville in Love
Birds" now playing at the Rialto
Theater.
Zasu Pitts declares that Garbo Is
not the cold, morose person she ap-
pears, or is the unfriendly lady she
is supposed to be, if one will listen
to the interviewers who pursue her
so madly. Miss Pitts says:
For long time Garbo used to
I've next to me in Beverly Hills and
found her one of the friendliest
women In the world. Orten she would
slip in for little chat and we'd talk
for hours.
MY two children, Ann and Don,
we're the chief reason back of her
calls. She knew she could talk with
them and be at ease. There was a
full freedom Of friendship between
her and the children.
IF the world but realized it, Garbo
is a warm and human person-plain,
yes. but the simplicity of her tastes
and nature win you. She must not be
confused with the roles she essays on
the screen. Her art is great and she
does the kind of roles she can por-
tray with finesse and skill. But the
actress apart from the studio is Just
another woman-talkative, well edu-
Gated, winning and certainly not in
the least theatrical"

Peddler as Pied piper.

KINSTON, N. c. R.-The Pied
Piper Of Hamlin couldn't have done
the awful thing he did had Johnny
Green been around with his trained
chickens and pig.
There is no question that Johnny
and his pets would have stolen the
show and the Haznlin children would
have followed them Just as Kinston's
youngsters do every day.
The colored gardener, who lives
about mile out Of town, cornas in
every morning with his wheelbarrow
loaded with vegetables. And over ths
wheel on perch ride his four trained
chickens. At his heels, like a faith
ful dog, trots the pig.
When policemen see Johnny COM
ing, they begin clearing traffic for the
long procession of children in his
wake.
Aside from peddling vegetables and
leading the parade, he puts on a free
show on the street curb with each
visit.
Cit down often dat perch and line
up," he commands. And the chickens
hop to the sidewalk and form a line
solemn as owls.
Cit on dat wheelbar' lax ah tells
ya," he barks again, and they obey.
Now git back on yer perch" he
commands. They climb up, settle down
and close their eyes.
There was a time police termed the
daily parade a menace to traffic and
they threatened to stop it. But the
children set up such howl that the
matter was dropped.

Another Chapter in Life
Of the Famous Miss Carlo
An Early Romance Comes to Light Showing
That the Actress Was Once a Matinee Fan
and That She Presented Bouquet.
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

what the Garbo-Brisson romance was
like. Brisson was owner of a theater
and a star; Carlo a shy, blushing
young girl, fresh and charming, and
with little promise that she would
amount to anything more than a
hairdresser.
The actor doesn't admit that diff
ference in their stations had any
thing to do with his cool acceptance
of Garbo's homage. Garbo was about
16 years old at the time. Brisson was
established. Under such circumstances
only an outstanding personality be-
comes more than a fan to the actor.
BrisSon says of Carlo: Il re-
member her appearance then quite
well. She was tall and well formed.
a typical Morse girl with a clean, rosy
complexion and extremely frank eyes.
I saw her as often as twice a day as
passed to and from my theater.
One evening, quite Unexpectedly,
this girl presented me with bouquet
of violetS and was so shy and charm
ing about it all that both the gift
and the girl embarrassed me. This
little one-sided admiration continued
for some time before the girl admitted
that she liked both me and my work"
Then, it seems, Brisson accepted an
offer to appear in picture which the
great Swedish director, MauritZ Stiller,
was making. Fate stepped in and
ended this first crush" of Carlos
then Greta Gustaffsen.
BrisSon and Garbo did not meet
again until 1928. This time they met
in London. BriSson had become star
in English pictures and plays and was
very important in the British enter
tainment world. He had completely
forgotten Greta Gustaffsen.
One of his pictures was being pre-
miered at a London theater and
thousands came to see it. Among
them was Garbo. They met in the
center of the lobby in true melo-
dramatic style. Brisson thought he
was greeting a more worldly and more
beautiful Greta Gustaffsen. You see
for years he had been trying to place
this famous Garbo in his mind, and
had failed. Then, as he faced Garbo
he recognized the little hairdresser's
girl who had once had a crush on
him and who had given him violets.
Brisson iaughingly describes the sit
uation now; In Hollywood every
one carries homage to Garbo. myself
with all the rest of the world"

Y HOLLYWOOD. Calf, March "a.
II "A new chapter in the life
of Garbo "a chapter not
Il Il touched upon in the records
of this enigma woman, which
throws an interesting light on Garbo,
the girl and her thoughts and enthu-
siasms-has come to light in Holly
wood
There we're days, it seems, when
the Sphinx-like Garbo was violently
and pathetically in love, when she
carried violets to a matinee idol be-
tween jobs of dressing hair in a
Swedish barber shop. That was Is
years ago. The Greta Gustaffsen Of
that day wasn't hiding out on the
world or burying her emotions under
a mantle of somber inscrutability.
That Greta, the girl who was in
love and whose love was ignored, had
no aversion to marriage or romance.
That Greta had crush" on a good
looking leading man and she did what
any other girl might have done for
her first love-she carried him knot
of violetS.
This hidden chapter in the life of
Garbo came to light when Carl Bris-
son, the man Garbo loved so futilely
in Stockholm, arrived in Hollywood
to star in pictures. BrisSon is modest
and reluctant to tell the tale, but
he has a scrapbook, and rather than
sing the song of his accomplishments
he passed the scrapbook to me that
I might read where and when he
played and how his work had been
received. AS I turned the pages of
the book there came to light clip
ping of an interview with Garbo in
which BrisSons name was circled with
blue pencil.
There were days when the now un-
approachable Garbo gave interviews.
In London. some three years ago,
Garbo sat down and talked to news
paper man. He had asked about her
romances in the past and Garbo,
stepping out of her Sphinx character,
told him this as printed in the Eng
lish paper:
IT well remember falling violently
in love with Carl BriSson," she said
land, in those days, taking him
little bunch of violets. which he &C
cepted with kindly interest. He was
my first 'crush.'"
That little line, (which he accepted
with kindly interest" is eloquent of

PAY RESTORATION
Impression Gains President

Program.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

While the Senate Appropriations
Committee today marked time on the
independent Offices appropriation bill
with no meeting scheduled until Mon
day. consideration of the liberalization
of the economy section of the bill, so
as to restore greater measure of bene-
fits to war veterans and to give back a
greater proportion of the pay cuts to
Government workers, was given by
Senate leaders.
The impression gained ground that
the President would acquiesce in such
a program, depending, of course, upon
the extent 70 which the proposed modi-
f1cations of the law went and whether
he believed that they would upset toe
greatly the Government budget.
Strong Sentiment Recognized.
Democratic leaders in the Senate
have been impressed with the strong
