GRETA GARBO SCORES IN TALKIE.
It is nice to see Greta Garbo back in amart Paris clothes ufter her recent excursions in the drab citire of "Anna Christle" and the curls and crinolines of "Romance."
But clothes are the least of the fascinating Garbo in her latest talkie, "Inspiration" For the well known allure and sex-appeal of the Swedish actress have never been revealed to greator advantage than in this story of an artist's model who discovers that X.fe is no "bed of roses."
Mr Herace Lo appeared for the prosecution.

SUGAR MARKET.
THE LATEST CABLED QUOTATIONS.
This picture wohld hold its nudi- ences spell-bound even without its in- teresting Paris background and the unusual camera work of Director Clarence Brown, who has created a number of original screen “ahols."
Robert Montgomery is Miss Garbo's lending man, which is sufficient gua- rantee of the romantic warmth of the numerous love scenes. As the young, provincial student who falls in love with the model, Montgomery unques- tionably delivers the finest perfor. mance of his career.
Splendid work is also done by Lewis Stone, Marjorte Rambeau, Judith Mercer and John Vonsell, Beryl MiJan.
If it is possible - to increase the number of Garbo fans, "Inspiration" is the pleture that will do it, for it contains that certain something that makes people forget they are sitting In theatre. This nctress remains unique among them all.
