Cuba and movies, being born there,
and was a film director in Havana
before coming to Hollywood
When the costumes were being
made, he was determined that
everything should be just right. He
made the studio force wait until
"guayaberas," Cuban shirts, had
been imported, and then had them
copied.
Imported Tobacco Leaves
He also imported punches of to-
bacco leaves to hang in front of
native huts, as if drying.
THE Cuban leaf is longer than
the American" he explained and

would notice the discrepancy"
A quantity of "casabe," bread

discovered the West Indies, also was
imported along with $50 machetes,

Stiller succeeded in carrying one

prophesied. Greta, too, was kept in
the dark, but she was quick enough
to sense the true state of affairs
and it made her utterly miserable.
The time approached when bluff
would no longer tide over the diff
Guilty. Pabst was faced with a sad
alternative. Either he would have
to find another actress for the part
or abandon the film.
"HEN a curious thing happened
Il There was a sequence in the
film where a book had to be shown
falling off a desk. Those were the
days when film cameras were still
hand turned. 1t was found that
the book fell so quickly that a cam
era turned at ordinary speed failed
to register the motion of falling
Instructions were therefore given
that the camera must be turned
much faster, and that did the trick.
This gave one of the technicians
an idea. Why not try the same
maneuver on Greta?
1t solved the problem! BY ham
ding the camera in this way Sober
contrived to cut out all the ner-
vous tremors that had hitherto dis
torted Greta's beautiful face. Pabst
was overjoyed to see the first really
good picture of his young star. For
the first time, Greta was permitted
to see the 'rushes," too.
The encouragement she received
from this turn of events produced a
visible effect at once. Her whole
conduct changed; she became calm
err, more sure of herself.
Greta, though tall and womanly,
was not yet quite grown up. A child
in spirit, a woman in emotion. AL
ready shadows were beginning to
darken her life-the deeper shadows
of human suffering. A rift had oc-
Cured between her and Stiller.
Exactly what happened, no one
ever knew. Perhaps Greta expected
too much, and found only an inter-
est in her work as an artist where
she had expected homage to her
self as a woman. Be that as it may,
Greta began to throw herself into
her work with renewed vigor, more,
it seemed, as an escape from her
thoughts than as a demonstration
of her skill. The poverty she saw
in the streets of Berlin during that
hard winter of 1925, when snow lay
so late, and even nature seemed ir
league with the economic depres-
sion, touched her deeply.
TT was at this time that she first
Il began to develop those fits OF
restlessness which so often result
ed in sleepless nights. She turned
completely from her old desire tc
be alone. It seemed now that
loneliness was uncomfortable to her
When Stiller no longer went about
with her, she could not bear heI
own company. Often Sorkin's tele-
phone would rouse him in the mid
die of the night, and Greta's voice
would come urgently across the
wires: 81 can not sleep! Put on
your things. You must come out
with me, or I shall go mad. l will
call for you in 10 minutes"
There was no denying her. She
had her own way.
In the spring Stiller planned tc
return to Sweden. He chafed un-
der inactivity. His virile mascu-
line mind disdained to bend itself
beneath the yoke of domesticity. II
is doubtful whether any woman
ever occupied ruling position ir
his life.

(By The Associated Press)
 MOSCOW, Oct. 2, = Kark Rad elk, commentator for the govern ment newspaper Izvestia, was ar rested this morning and charged with being implicated in a count CT revolutionary plot against the Soviet, for which sixteen Rus sians were shot last August.
 Following the announcement of his name during that trial, Rad elk disappeared, and his where abouts were unknown until his nest was made public today.
 He was arrested for his politi- cal and legal guilt in the plot.
 Radek worked with Trotzsky during the early revolutionary days and was exiled with him, but was later returned to grace.
 In his last article published at the beginning of the trial of the sixteen confessed conspira- tors, Radek defended himself, al- though he said the men on trial should be shot.
