IF YOU had walked into a certain
Stockholm barter shop way back
in 1920, you would have seen wistful
little Greta Carlo working up a
lather ard preparing hot towels for
stubbly faces as she assisted the
local barber. Later, in Bergstrem' S
department store. you might have
taken a second look at the pretty
little clerk who sold you a hat. But
if someone had told you she would
ore day be world famous in pictures
FOR her portrayals Of romance. pas
sion and ecstasy, it would have
seemed too fantastic to believe.
Greta Carlo was born in 1905 in
the mill district of Stockholm. Her
father was a poor machinist, and
her mother an uneducated farm
woman. The mysterious airs and
aloofness of the great Carlo of to-
day are natural. for they were traits
of the sensitive little daughter of
this poor family. Her father died
when she was fourteen and she went
to work in the department store to
help support her penniless mother,
her small brother and sister. The
rlaragcr of the millinery derart-
ment chose her to model hats and,
through publication of photographs
made then, she was given a chance
in motion pictures. Her rise to fame
was rapid, and the little lather girl
of Stockholm became the greatest
example of modern motion picture
publicity
One of her very first pictures was
awarded the Nobel prize, and she
received the medal of the New York
Film Critics for her performance
in "Anna Karenina. Men fought
duels over her, and famous direc-
tors, writer's and actors have sought
her favor. So, think twice before
you laugh at that neighbor's child
with the theatrical ambitions. The
great Carlo was once a lather girl!

Vanished Surfaces

When applying paint or enamel
over a surface that has been pre-
viously stained and vanished, the
best practice is to remove all of the
old finish with paint remover. The
surface then should be thoroughly
rinsed with water or turpentine
depending upon type of remover
used) to make sure that none of the
residue Of the paint remover re-
mains, and then dried out and
sanoed, before putting on the paint
or enamel. This will prevent chip
ping of the paint or varnish later
on. If this is not done, the surface,
at the very least, should be rubbed
over with alcohol and thoroughly
sanded.
