Photoplay (Jan-Jun 1928)

Photoplay Magazine — Advertising Section and their own people. jMy people do not realize how short the world is. They do not know how the boats and the trains go. They feel they are going away forever. "My mother didn't say much. She said, 'I think you know better. I want you to go where you should.' "My mother and my sister and my brother went to the railroad station. My little mother stood there and looked at me. Her eyes were swollen — big. "My brother's name? My sister's? What does that matter? They are my people. Why should I tell their names to other people? Names do not matter. If I should read them — it would hurt. Hurt here." Her hand covered her heart as though to protect it from hurting. "T WAS very brave. All I said was,' I will be -'■ back in one year. It is only twelvemonths. ' I have been away two and one-half years. "My sister. I call her my little sister, but she was two years older. In only eight months after I had gone, she, one of my people, has passed. "That is the hardest. To be so far away when something happens. Your own flesh and blood — "I couldn't understand. She had always been so healthy. She was so beautiful. Then she got sick — just a little sick — then — " A sob escaped the lips of Greta Garbo. She bit back another, hurried on with her story — "I would have brought her here by now. She would have been in pictures — "But the way things are here now. The way you have to work to get the results! Perhaps, it is better — my sister — "We sailed from Gutenberg. Oh, that was marvellous, on the ocean. I would love to do that trip over and over. You feel free on the ocean. There you are — and you cannot walk away. "Unless you want to walk on the water. It lifts a stone from you. You are almost" — her voice lowered to a half whisper — "You are almost happy. "Happy," she repeated. "Happy is too big a word to use very often. It means so much to our country — the word happy, that we hardly speak of it. Here you use it so common. "I had a heavy coat on me and walked around on the deck and watched the ocean. I played that game where you push things back and forth, a little. I did not talk to anyone but a tiny boy. Little Tommy. I wanted so madly to give him cakes. But he had never eaten cakes. His mother and father were very careful. "/CHILDREN don't get close to you. You ^^^can say intelligent things to children. When you talk silly things, they just look at you, and you feel they are thinking, 'Why are you saying such silly things for?' Children are very sensible persons. "We came into New York harbor in the night. When we saw the lights, lots of people screamed. They were from New York City. You felt it with them. "They felt like you will feel when you go back to Sweden. "I thought that America will be all flowers. I thought there would be almost carpets of flowers on the streets of New York City. I wasn't terribly excited. "I do not get excited. But I was ready to see the flowers on the streets of the American cities." Did Miss Garbo find flowers on the streets of the American cities? Probably no woman in pictures has had a more hectic career than Miss Garbo. "Temperamental," "Hard to handle," "A woman who says, '/ will go home!' " is the way she has been heralded in this country. Why this has been, she will tell you in the last installment of her career in the next Photoplay issue.
