With the novelty of hearing Garbo's voice second to interest in her role, it appeared to this interviewor that she has become entirely oblivious of the microphone, whatever appre- hension she fell in the making of "Anna Christie" having been din. pelles by its great acclain.
Instead of the alrong Skrillsh dialect of her first talkie, Gorho uses a piquant Italian accent in her new role, that of the exotle opera atar. mistress of men, who falls in love with the unsophisticated pastor of St. Glen Pariah. AL times an this characterization she is called upon to

Choose Your Own Type.
Women this season are accept- Ing their own natural allotments in the way of figures, prizing this as part of their personalities, and playing it up, instead of trying to look all alike.
And the response of fashion ereators to this feminine rovolt is to throw down practically all of the fixed barriers of atyle, Thore 1s, for instance, every length and type of cont in Paris fashions this Gason. You choose your own typo, and if you don't know how. to express yourself in your choice, it is not the fault of the fashions.
A woman wearing a long, sinple cont, with a waistline adjusted to her height and bulk, is very smart, and so la the woman who wears
a brief, dolmun jacket, and she who chooses a fitted and flaring wrap that rouches to the knees or thereabouts.
Your coat may be one length, and your dress another.
Your coat may be one colour, and your frack dissimilar hue. The "ensemble" is assembled with the greatest liberty in these matters. You choose your colours according to how they vibrate to your per- sonality, and how neatly they fit your circumstances and environ- ment. You do the same thing. with the materials which make your clothes, and with the decors. tion of your dress.
