 Hollywood-Today's news about Greta Garbo is 12 years old. But what are 12 years in the history of an actress who has been described as "the haunting embodiment of all women since time began?
 The story is about how the Great a Garbo became languorous and, consequently, glamorous. It would seem that she owes her current success to the fact that she was frightened half to death at the be- ginning of her screen career.
 She appeared in two pictures be- fore coming to America. The first was 'The Legend of Costa Berling." It was directed by her friend and discoverer, Mauritz Stiller, and she was not especially nervous. Neither did her acting attract much atten- ton.
 The second picture, made in Ber- lin, was titled The Street of sor- row" and was megaphoned by c. w. Pabst. Miss Garbo had no con- fidence in him or in herself.
 She rushed through her scenes in Patsy Kelly tempo. She termbled with nervousness. What was worse, she further displayed her uneasi- ness by awkward, jerky movements which were accentuated by the ca- mera.
 The director had q hard time of it. He tried pleading and reason. He ran off some of the film and showed her that she was moving like an automaton. But the more he tried, the more scared and un- happy was Miss Garbo.
 Then he got a great idea He told his camcraman to crank fas- ter.
 That did the trick. It was the principle of slow motion. Miss Garbo's jerky actions were drawn out into slow, graceful movements.
 Watching the film, she saw at once that this was just the sort
