There is no fussing with chains on tires for AVallace Beery when he is in his cabin mood. He pops into his own airplane and flies two hundred and fifty miles North in an hour-and-a-half. Winter as well as summer. His wife and baby daughter fly with him, as i\ell as honored friends. It's a pri\ate paradise Wally has, at Silver Lake, in the middle of a hunting and fishing Acadia. He toasts a swell marshmallow, his little Carol Ann affirms. Let the gay sprigs go on their sleigh-rides, Wally states. He's content to cuddle on his davenport before his giant fireplace and put the finish on marshmallows. I've been chattering on enough, though. Prepare to -(vipe dishes and s^vap bed-time stories, play bridge and gaze into the embers if you receive an invitation to Myrna Loy's or any of the other stars' cabins. I've got to be off on my mission. I have to do my bit to go on that sleigh-ride -(vith the Younger Generation. All they've assigned me is the job of cornering a sleigh. As though I'd have one up my sleeve! Great kids, aren't they? Anyway, the horse isn't on me. Ross Alexander knows a couple of horses ^\ho are just dying to join the fun! Director Anatole Litvak arrives to direct "Joan Of Arc" starring Claudette Colbert, for 'Warner Bros. The Sphinx Has Melted! [Continued from page 23] laughed it off. It was about this time that the studio crew at last acknowledged her to be a good sport. And you can believe me when I say that any player of renow'n, who is classified as a good sport by those calloused crews, has certainly earned the title. One afternoon after a good lunch Director Cukor appeared on the set in a very gay mood. As usual he and Miss Garbo exchanged witty repartee, but that v\'as customary. Pretty soon though, he commenced to jump and skip all over the stage. First he would give the impression of flying, then of sailing, then he would buzz and viciously smack an imaginary foe in the air. What was the matter? Had the man gone crazy? No, he Avas simply entertaining the assemblage with his im.itation of a mosquito. That his efforts were successful was apparent by the reaction on Miss Garbo, who was almost convulsed with laughter. The whole incident so amused everyone that little could be accomplished for the balance of the afternoon. Another time during the lunch hour at the studio the players and stage crew organized a soft-ball team. They called their squad the "Camillas" in honor of the film on \vhich they were working. They at once chose Greta Garbo as their sponsor. A challenge to the studio office team was issued and just as promptly accepted. In no time at all the game was on. Among the spectators was Garbo herself. Yes, there was the Screen's Number One Mystery 'Woman right on the base line coaching her players and telling them how to play their positions. .'\nd she stayed right on to the finish of the game. No rooter did more valiant work lor ihcir team llian did Greta on that day. But right here \vc might let vou in on a little secret. Robert Taylor piaved second base on the "Camillas" and mavbe ihat might ha\c had something to do wilh it. WivAl do v(in ihink? A t\|)i<al inslaiKc of Garbo's new s|ioniiig aniliulc occurred when a fuse box blew oul dining the shooting of a scene. Bob ra\lor was leaning over the back of her chair at a llualu' box scat, when B.ANG— tliere was an explosion overhead that sent sparks sliowciing all over the set and do\\ii onto their heads. The pair rushed oil-stage just as all the lights v\'ere extinguished and the set thrown into darkness. Fortunately no one Avas injured and as soon as repairs were made everyone was back on the job, including Miss Garbo. It looks as though nothing can make a faint-hearted doll-like actress out of this real trouper. Good looking Robert Taylor figured in many humorous incidents dining the filming of "Camille." Once he failed to put in an appearance in a scene calling for his presence with the feminine star. The company hunted all over the lot for him. Miss Garbo sat sweltering under the v^eight of her heavy and uncomfortable costume. But still no leading man. Minutes seemed like hours and everybody's patience \\as sorely tried. Suddenly Taylor's voice came cracking in on them all with a wild "Yippee." and he tore onto the set astride a cow pony. He had been out trying to make a deal with the ov\'ner of the beast and finallv bought the cayuse. The incident \\ound up so spectacularlv that everyone forgot about their long wait and soon the cameras were grinding away with a smiling Greta before them. Miss Garbo has coiripletely dispelled the old idea that she is haughty and aloof. She has proven dtuing the shooting of "Camille" that she is one actress in HollvAvood who can subserve her own v\hims and fancies for the benefit of the cast. Instead of seizing upon opportune situations to go into tantrums of temperament such as high stung actresses are commonly supposed to do, she has proven to be a real sport, a trouper of the first water. That old invisible cloak of reserve has been conipleteh dissipated. Perhaps Garbo herself has grown weary of the halo of mvstery and loneliness she was surrounded by. It mav be that she has become the master of old whims and fancies, .'\gain, it ma\ be that a protracted diet of seclusion and aloolness has ceased to appeal to her. Most likelv, however, is tlic fact that she is simplv hungr\ for friends and congenial companions. But whatever it is that's causing her to be that way it has our appro\al. ^Ve've alwavs had the greatest of admiration and respect for the Great Garbo as an artist but now that we know thai she can be "regular," "that is suntihin'.
