THE PRIVATE LIFE OF GRETA GARBO 32 about the city. One day Greta was fascinated by a dirty ragged Turk who sauntered past a shop where she was buying a little trinket to send home to her mother. She decided to follow him. She was curious to know where such a fellow lived. To find out what he did. But apparently he did nothing. Neither did he have any special place to go. Like a lost dog he wandered aimlessly up this street and down that. Finally Greta got tired and returned to her hotel. But she was happy roaming about alone and unhindered. Twice she was invited to the Swedish Embassy, but she did not care to meet strange people, though they were from her native land. Even Eniar Hansen did not go out with her. He was conscious of the ragged beard he had had to grow for the role he was to portray in the picture. At last the script was ready and work on the picture was started. Mr. Stiller felt that this would be the most dramatic production he had yet made. The actual settings in the land where the story was laid inspired all the players. As a matter of fact, it was the first motion picture to be made in Constantinople.
