EYE-GENE Are They Americanizing Garbo ? {Continued from page 34] 3g I Goad Houcckccplnf J * * . Bureau ^-f instruments cannot be heard in the section where the other members of the company circulate. How the fact that swing music was being played got out, is a mystery. However, the gay tunes which so effectively sway the Swedish star's emoting, have not changed her attitude to her fellow workers. Aloof and silent as ever, she remains a stranger among strangers. Her smiles and gayety are reserved for the camera alone. When director Clarence Brown calls "Cut," she retires to the seclusion of her private domain. There, amidst the elegance of her ivory white boudoir, relaxed on her chaise longue, she reads detective magazines and the latest novels. Her selections are made from her private rack, always rilled with current issues, standing inside her portals. Hollywood, as well as the world at large, has been unable to understand Garbo's aloofness. She has been called a sham, an ingrate, a poser and an introvert. Garbo never has been swayed by what people are saying about her. She has compromised in nothing. Apparently she holds with Elbert Hubbard who said, "Never make explanations. Your friends do not need them. Your enemies will not believe them." A FRIEND of Garbo's maintains that she is too genuine to attempt to camouflage her real self. That she refuses to play up to the public by pretending she is something she is not. Garbo, he declares is a Swede, first, last and always. A Swede unable to adapt herself to American ways. He insists that it was Hollywood's failure to understand Garbo that caused her to retire into her shell. That, extremely sensitive to ridicule and criticism, she built up a world of her own, in which move the few friends who understand her. Garbo never has become a part of Hollywood. She never will. In magazines, in newspapers and in the film colony she is always referred to as the Swedish star. After residing in Hollywood for over twelve years, she remains an alien. Each year Hollywood expects Garbo to pack her bags and leave for her native land, never to return. That day is certain to _ arrive. When it does there will be no previous announcement. On one of her visits home, she will fail to return. The fact that Garbo has a yen for swing tunes is no indication that she has gone American. American swing music has swept Europe. Certain inherent characteristics, her habits of work, her withdrawal from Hollywood society, her manner of living, her love of her native land, stamp her as a true Scandinavian. UNLIKE the typical American girl, who, in order to finish what she has started, will force herself to the point of exhaustion, Garbo rests when weary. She would never "break her neck," as we Americans say, in an effort to catch a train. If she did not have ample time to make the train, she would wait for the next one. When she finds herself exhausted during the making of a long, tiring scene, she stops. Before continuing, she refreshes herself. While director, cameraman, stage crew and other members of the cast stand by, Garbo sips a cup of hot broth or coffee or drinks a glass of buttermilk. Although the rest of the company may think that the star is wasting precious time and considerable money by holding them all up, Garbo knows that if she fails to give her best, the picture will suffer. In that event, she knows that Metro will lose money in the box office ; a far greater sum than will be lost during the delajr for time taken to refresh herself. She carries that policy further by refusing to work overtime. Promptly at five o'clock, no matter what action is taking place on the set, Garbo punches the time clock. Undoubtedly, she feels, that it is up to the director, who knows her rule, to see to it that she is not working when five o'clock rolls around. Her strict adherence to the five o'clock curfew was recently illustrated during a "close-up" of Walcwska greeting Napoleon. The set was an elaborate street location leading through the snow-covered village where Walcwska dwelt. Soldiers of the royal guard of Napoleon, lined the street on either side. Some hundred extras were in their places. Charles Boyer, who plays Napoleon, was waiting for Countess Walcwska. Garbo's car drove up. Without a word, the star walked over to it and stepped in. An American girl would have figured, "Although it is time to quit, I might as well go through with it, now that everything is ready." IT IS doubtful if an American girl would refuse to answer a court summons in a law suit against her involving ten thousand dollars. Especially when the payment of said money depended upon her testimony. Garbo did that very thing when she failed to answer a court summons in the case of David Schatter, former European film producer. In his suit against Garbo, he claims that she has not returned money loaned to her in Sweden for promoting her career. When Garbo did not put in an appearance in court, the plaintiff's attorney cried to the judge, "Your honor, who is this foreigner, Greta Garbo, who dares to defy the mandates of the United States court?" Garbo had no intention of defying the United States court. She preferred to pay the twenty-five dollar fine, rather than answer to the summons. Hollywood is betting that the Swedish star will make settlement out of court, rather than answer to the second summons. In case she does not make a settlement, she will be forced to appear. She will face a jail sentence if she refuses. Garbo's distaste for publicity has become a Hollywood legend. Her abhorrence for the American custom of prying into a star's private life is only too well known. Garbo once expressed her attitude on publicity to me, "I have no objection to honest praise or criticism of my work," she said. "But I am against having my private affairs paraded before the public." Garbo never will become used to the American method of ballyhooing public characters. It is also a well-known fact in Hollywood that Garbo invariably chooses plays which permit her to portray foreign girls, rather than Americans. Inherently foreign, she realizes that her impersonation of an American would not ring true. The public is aware of the fact that Garbo's few friends are foreigners.
