his study of the violin at an early
age. In spite of bitter struggle and
deprivation on the part of his par

talked with the press did she
break down the mysterious veil
Of secrecy that has been built
about her 50 carefully since she
started scaling the heights to
cinematic success?
Carlo speaks!
Those two words bally-hooed
her first talking picture. They
became almost as famous as the
designation Platinum Blonde"
applied to Jean Harlow by that
ace press agent, Lincoln Quar-
berg. But now CARLOS managers
are wondering If she didn't speak
a little too much recently on her
return from Europe.
Greta landed in New York 10
years ago this summer with
Maurice Stille, her discoverer.
Her movie salary was to be $3.50
q week.
In order to get publicity Greta
posed holding lions in q New York
zoo, and posed for fashion pic
lures dresses that cost
$11.50 each. A New York hotel
gave her q commercial rate" so
she returned the compliment by
having her picture taken as she
had breakfast in bed at the hotel.
Later the secrecy veil" was
thrown about Greta by aStute
managers and publicistS. For years
she lodged" newspaper men, pho
tographers, "fan magazine" Scrib-
bleS, columnistS, the public.
She was "bult up" as q lonely
moody creature.
Three years ago the press was
tipped" quietly that Carlo had
eloped to Arizona with Reuben
Mamoulian, the director, o re-
porter in an airplane set out to
check the report, followed Greta'S
big black car from mid-Arizona
back to Hollywood. Twice the
airplane landed in the desert near
the highway and Greta was ap-
preached. There were none-too-
friendly waves Of a "go away"
hand-and the giant Negro chauf-
feur was instructed to "Step on
it,"
! Then came the mysterious "tip"
that George Brent, the actor, was
flying to La Quenta, near Palm
Springs, daily to visit Carlo.
Again, intruders were waved away.
When she arrived in New York
from her native Sweden the other
day on the S. s. Gripsholm-
ship on which she made her first
trip to America-she amazed the
press by talking, by dropping most

So they were saying in Holly

may have made mistake in chang

Legal Status of

LOS ANGELES, March 10 UR)

conflicting state and federal rul-
ings.
District Court Judge Albert Lee
Stephens yesterday dismissed
request for an order enjoining the
Los Angeles police from enforcing
their blockade on grounds that
She federal court was without juris-
diction in the case.
The ruling came on a request
from John Langan. Los Angeles,
resident, who charged he was not
allowed to enter the state although
legal resident of California. He
also sought $4,000 damages. Lam
gan was represented by the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties uniCn in the
action.
State Attorney General u. S.
Webb ruled in an opinion handed
down a month ago but which was
aot made public until yesterday in
San Francisco that the Les An
geles blockade was unconstitu-
tional because it interferred with
the ingress and egress of citizens
into California.
