Mrs. Grosvenor Sees Herself
As Baby in Film of Fathers Life
Daughter Of Inventor Of Telephone Helps
Make Picture Authentic by Criticisms

Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor Is just back
from Hollywood, where she had the
rare pleasure OF seeing herself car
ried in as a newborn babe.
This remarkable feat Mrs. Gros-
venor was able to perform through
the influence of her father, the late
Alexander Graham Bell, who is gen.
orally remembered as the inventor
Of the telephone.
Mrs. Grosvenor went to Hollywood
at the invitation of the 2Oth Gen.
tury,Fox Film Co., which has lust
turned out moving picture titled
"The Story of Alexander Graham
Bell"
They appointed me chief fault
finder" Mrs. Grosvenor says. II was
supposed to catch any mistakes in
the film. I did my best and con-
slider the film fairly authentic
document"
Mrs. Grosvenor's husband is presi-
dent of the National Geographic So
ciety, a position her father and
grandfather held before him.
Residence Of Five Generations.
Her family has been resident in
Washington for five generations
including the generations repre-
sented by her son, Melville Bell
Grosvenor, who Is assistant to his
father as editor of the National
Geographic Magazine, and his three
children. Her husband and son ac-
companied her to Hollywood.
Upon her return to Washington
from the coast, Mrs. Grosvenor es-
tablished herself as the first de-
scendant of famous man ever to
express satisfaction with the biogra-
phical job done in Hollywood.
Il really think it's good movie" :"
she said.
Loretta Young has done a re-
markable job. She plays the part
Of my mother Mother, you know,
was deaf. Father met her when
he went to teach her lip reading
Miss Young never for a minute for
gets that she can't hear in the
picture
Furnished Much Material.
Mrs Grosvenor furnished the
scenario writer's with much of the
material they used in writing her
fathers story. The movie deals
with only about five years of his life,
around 1880. during the period of
his courtship and marriage
The letters that Don Ameche,
who plays fathers part. reads in
the movie are actually the letters
he wrote.
There is one scene where a love
letter from my mother is produced.
The wording is taken from the real
letter
The Hollywood people were very
anxious to make the story accurate
They accepted my suggestions in
the best spirit. l found few small
mistakes-they had the names of
my sisters mixed up and things like
that was able to straighten them
out on"
There are some dramatic scenes
in the movie which thrilled her
even though she had known of them
all her life.
The scene where he teaches

is wonderful" she said. Sanders
was so grateful, you know, that he
helped finance father while he was
working on his invention"
Had Fine Time.
Mrs. Grosvenor had a fine time in
Hollywood, she said. She met
Shirley Temple, Wendy Barrie and
other stars. And Hollywood, per-
haps, regarded her with a little
extra awe. For Bells telephone in
vention is the basis for the sound
equipment which gave the movies
voice.
The movie will have its world
premier here-where Alexander
Graham Bell spent the years of his
life after invention Of the telephone
1t will be shown at Constitution
Hall Wednesday before a distin-
guished audience, which will in
clude Bells descendants.
Mrs. Grosvenor expects to be
there. She takes a special interest
in the brief biography Of herself in
the film-the scene at the enc
where she is shown" at the age OF
about IS minutes.
The baby who plays my part does
a good job" Mrs. Grosvenor said
II think it flatters me-"

Franco Army Reported
Due in Madrid Today

HENDAYE, France, March Is up
The historic siege of Madrid to-
night showed increasing signs its
end was near as advices from both
sides In the Spanish civil war said
peace negotiations were almost
completed.
Dispatches from the Republican
zone reported that railroad lines
idle since the Nationalist siege be-
gan in November, 1896, were being
repaired. and there were other in
dications that life soon might surge
back to the hungry, beleaguered
capital.
Capitulation Matter Of Days.
Its capitulation, and with it the
crumbling Of the last one-fourth of
Spain still under Republican rule,
was believed by border observers to
be matter of days at most.
On Rome the newspaper II
Gironale dItaia reported from
Nationalist Spain that the Ma
drid governments unconditional
surrender already was arranged
and that a Nationalist army of
occupation probably would en-
ter the city tomorrow.
(The dispatch said Gen. Jose
Miaja, head of the Republican
Defense Council, had agreed to
deliver Madrid's entire air force
of As warplanes tonight as the
first act of submission, and to
disarm government miltiamen)
At Burgos it was said the French
government had stated the Spanish
Republican war fleet, which has
taken refuge in the Tunisian port
of Bizerte, would be turned over to
the Nationalists.
Cool Reception for Republicans.
Information from the nationalists
said ENJOYS Of Gen. Miaja, who
flew to Burgos Thursday for peace
negotiations, were received coolly in
Gen. Frances capital.
The major concern Of nationalist
negotiators, these reports said, was
whether Gen. Miaja himself had
sufacient control in his territory to
be able to turn it over to Gen.
Franco.
The nationalists even professed an
attitude Of unconcern over the de-
liberations. asserting that they
quickly could reduce the republican
zones last resistance by force If its
surrender were not soon forth
coming
The Madrid Junta, which met last
night after the return of its ennis
saries, was reported to have radioed
Gen. Frances general staff today,
carrying on the negotiations.
Populace Declared for Peace.
Observers expressed belief Madrid
may have given the nationalists as
surances that Gen. Miaja was firmly
in command and the Republican
populace was ready for peace after
ousting the bitter-end government
OF former Premier Juan Negrin and
crushing the insurrection of die
hard Communists.
Surrender OF the city OF 1000 900
population, however, presented other
problems which it was expected
might require further exchanges OF
messages. Among the difficulties,
Tor instance, was the question of
turning over arms to the victorious
nationalists and the points at which
Gen. Frances army would enter
Madrid.
