The Swedish star appeared, in slacks and dark glasses, on the stage where Ernst Lubitsch's pro- duction of THE MERRY WIDOW was id progress, chatted Sitely with the director, met Murice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDon- ald, watched a scene being made and departed as quietly as she had slipped into the Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer sound stage.
Never before has Miss Garbe been on the set of any picture in which she was not personally working.
Miss Garbo and Lubitsch- have been friends ever since the Swed- ishi charmer has been in América. Extaordinary interest in THE MERRY WIDOW-plus an invita- ilon by Lubitsch, were responsible for the visit.
"What did she say?" Lubitsch was asked, after she'd left.
"That."" answered Lubitsch. "I'll never tell!”

"THE LIFE OF VERGIE
WINTERS"
ANN HARDING HAD COLOURFUL CAREER, BOTH IN REAL LIFE AND IN HER LATEST CHAR- ACTERIZATION, “VERGIE
WINTERS."
To grow old gracefully is one of the cherished aspirations of Ann Harding, who, oddly encugly, ages twenty-two years in her charac- terization for her, new RKO Radio picture, "The Life of Vergie Win- ters."
"
"I hope always to be my age.” said the blonde star, who is young enough to make such a statement without reservations or regrets. "Each age has its advantages, I believe, and I want to enjoy them all. I hope I never shall become a person who clings frantically to youth as though it were all of.. life...
"Of course I would not be hu- man did I not occasionally Zeel Bashes of regret for days that are gone forever,, but I hope never to let such regrets cause me to lose sight of the advantages and joys of the present."
Miss Harding said that she hoped, continually to develop new Interests and always to be able to live a full and well rounded life. That she has been success- ful in that endeavor to date, a glance at her blography reveals.
The daughter of a high ranking army officer, she lived her girl- hood at various military posts in the United States and Cuba. Tra- vel and social, society made her early youth one of unusual color and variety. Then, ambitious for a career, she decided to become a business woman. She took an office job with a big life insuran- ce company in New York. In her spare time she read scripts and books for a motion picture.com- pany, typing snyopses of them
She started her acting career with the Frovincetown Players, a Little Theatre group in New York City. Her spectácular rise to star- dom, first on the stage, and then in pictures, is a matter of thea- trical history.
In "The Life of Vergle Winters,"
she plays the title role, said to bë the most daring characterization of her career. It is that of a small-town milliner who, cheated of marital Happiness by a lie has the courage to remain true to a love that is branded scarlet" by her neighbors.
While daring in that it strikes boldly at convention, the charac- ter is that of a singularly noble women Utterly unselfish,, änd serene in the knowledge that her love is pure in the sight of God, Vergie Winters, is content to offer herself on the alter of idealism","
In Hollywood, a scene played so beautifully that it brings tears to the eyes of the other players and the technicians on the set, is the highest of tributes. This doesn't happen so often as might be imagined," for Hollywood pla- yers and technicians are a pretty seasoned group" who `don't cry easily at the woes of fictional characters.
This happened however, during, the alming of "The Life of Ver- gle Winters," in a scene in which Ann Harding, in the title role. follows in imagination the wed- ding she would give anything to see, but is prevented from seeing. by a love that she values more than life itself. The wedding is that of her daughter-her own and that of the man she loves, but to whom another woman is married.
At the moment the wedding march peals out, she sits alone in her little parlor. Her eyes look into space, but they see a radi-. antly beautiful bride coming down, a flowered church aisle on the arm of her father. To her ears are borne only the faint sounds of a somnolent town, but, In her imagination, she hears the words "I do" spoken in a r and vibrant voice,
When the scene was Anished silence cloaked the stage. There was not a dry eys on the set. Al fred Santell, the director, didn't say "cut" Sienty, ne inade 2 gesture. It was the tribute sup:
