BY PAUL HARRISON NEA Service Staff Correspondent
This is the second of two stories on the life and loves of Greta Garbo.

Hollywood, March 16. - La donna misteriosa. That is what the natives chistened the queenly figure they saw striding over the hill paths at Ravello.
 An a mysterious lady she is today in the idyll that is being played behind the walls of Villa Cimbrone. Were Leopold Stokowski and Greta Garbo married in some obscure European country before meeting at Ravello? Some of their friends think so. On the con- trary, there are rumors that they are not yet married, but will be soon.
 Garbo remains mysterious today just as she was when, almost 10 years ago. she went across the bor- der to little Mexican town, ostens- ibly to marry John Gilbert.
 Exactly what happened there, nobody knows. Nobody but Grbo, that is, for Gilbert is dead. But somehow, at that high point of the nost-talked-of romance of the de- cade, Garbo drew back, eluded Gilbert, hid out on him, and finally Jagged a train and came back to California-alone.
 Romance Washed Out
 Less tan a month late Gilbert W8S married to Ina Claire, Broad way stage star. But this was short-lived romance. Later ru- mors persisted in connecting John and Greta, although this was per- haps grounded as much in wishful thinking On the part of their pub lie" as in solid fact.
 gt is quite true, however, that Garbo continued to be very fond of Gilbert, and in her infrequent interviews spoke of him in the highest terms More indicative still is the fact that when she came to produce Queen Christina, she in sisted on Jack Gilbert as her lead- man at a time when her own fame and prestige had definitely eclipsed his.
 From this time on, Garbo re- treated more and more into seclu- sion, and the character of the SphinX-Woman of the screen was chryStal.zed.
 Didn't Like Elm Young
 She was reported as going about frequently with Max Gumpel, a Swedish engineer. She met and was reported much interested in Prince Siguard, son of Crown Prince Gustav of Sweden, but all thes rumors were quickly denied.

Richard Wagner once occupied the Villa Cimbrone that drew StokoW- ski to it. He was the first con- ductor of a great symphony to make a talkie, again revealing his progressive mind. And it was while in Hollywood year ago in this con- nection that he met Greta Garbo. Divorce Cleared the Way
 Soon they were being seen to- gether at night clubs and concerts. Rumors, long current, of Stokow- skis separation from his second wife, grew stronger. His first wife had been Olga Samaroff, concert pianist. Late last year Mrs. Sto- kowski established residence at Reno, and on Dec. 2 the divorce was granted.
 A few days later Garbo sailed for Sweden for the Christmas holidays. In early February Stokowski sailed for the Meditet- ranean, but not before both had denied any romance or any inter- tion to marry, both insisting that their careers came first.
 We are only friends" said Garbo as the Gripsholm sailed And all this gossip is idiotic."

translated into every civilized lang uage. Its readers are numbered in the millions. A sterling favorite with genera tions of Americans, past and present, it is equally popular abroad.
 The dramatic thrills of the story deal with the murderous pursuit of the lovely Princess, Snow White," by her jealous rival, the wicked Queen. Its brilliant comedy inter ludes are fantastically funny, alive with the spirit of Fairyland, where birds, animals and dwarfs make merry in woodland glades amid scenes of enchanting loveliness. Adult patrons will revel in its allur- ing drama, it's pathetic appeal, its laughter-rousing episodes, and chill

expedition. Rumors of an elope- ment and impending marriage again failed to jell.
 George Brent Next
 In fact there is considerable doubt about the degree O. romantic at tachment between Garbo and the bespectacled director from Tiflis, CaucaSia.
 George Brent, her next leading man, became close friends with Gar bo, and there were the usual romantic rumors. Brent, a gay, irrepressible Irishman with TO awe of the Garbo legend, is be- lieved to have done much to pro- duce the change in Garbo that be- gan to be apparent last year - a gayer, more human figure than the cold automaton and recluse. Everyone about the movie lots mo- ticed the change.
 But in the meantime, a new in- terest came into Garbo's life. Leopold Stokowski is not only a great, but an unusual musician. Conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony, he has also been ln- terested in improvement in the recording and broadcasting of music, and in composing. In fact, it is believed to be the fact that

POLES

The surge and thunder of war is contrasted with the even more dra- matic struggles that go on within human hearts in "Of Human Hearts," which opened this after noon at the Loew Poli Theater, with Walter Huston in his first picture since his triumphs in "Dodsworth," :" James Stewart and Beluah Bondi.
 Tense dramatic moments, poig- nant tragedy, lively comedy and the thrills of war are woven into the Honore Morrow story of pioneer Ohio preacher of Lincoln's day and his family, deftly directed by Clar- ence Brown, with the same human touches he used in "Ah Wilderness!"
 Illusions performance as Ethan Wilkins, the conscientious but zeal ous circuit rider is an impressive hu- man document, Stewart plays the son who prefers medicine to the ministry, which brings rift in the family. Miss Bondi plays the wife and mother who follows both blind ly in her adoration.
 Father and son fight, the son leaves for medical college, the father dies. The mother sells all she owns to educate the boy. During the war he becomes a great surgeon, but for gets his tragedy-stricken mother until Lincoln shows him his path in life. Though not war picture, thrill ling flashes of war are shown. Most of the action is in a quaint village on the beautiful shores of Lake Ar rowhead. Clyde De Vinna's photog- raphy is outstanding.
 Intimate glimpses into human character are given by Charles Co., burn as the bibulous village doctor, Guy Kibbee as the skinflint store keeper, Clem Bevans as the dear elder, Arthur AylesWorth, Gene Lockhart and other skilled charac- ter players. The characterization of Lincoln is done by John Carradine. Leatrice Joy Gilbert plays Ann federal penitentiary, grim details of prison life and the armored prison train, roaring activity in great newspaper offices, and inner workings and haunts of gangland provide the dramatic background for the central romance.
 All in all it's picture that will provide interesting entertainment for every member of the family. It's so full of thrills it'll keep you glued to your seat every minute. Plan to see it before the closing performances Saturday night.

pened:
Washington was held to seven hits
and % tie. OF the seven hits
Wright made three, and he drove
across one Of the runs. The next
day, which would be yesterday, Taft
played again. In the first inning
against Charlotte he singled and drove
across run, making it 10 in favor
of the Washingtonians. In the Sec
ond inning he hit a tremendous home
run out of the ball park, scoring two
runners ahead of him and running
the score to IL.
The Charlottes began to get to
Wright in the fourth inning. They
held him to double. They got him
for fair in the sixth, when Second
Baseman Jerry Lynn risked decapita-
ton by f1inging himself in front of
a drive by Wright and throwing him
out. In the eighth First Baseman
Pritchard was knocked down by Taft's
smash. but he got him out, although
Wright drove across another run.

Harris, "and he was good man. He
drove across those base runners.

that bit of discretion in a somewhat
painful lesson from Jimmy in their
previous collision.

Abrams is certain to be an inn

He has shed the polite tactics of am
