Greta Garbo In A Comedy Picture
“PAINTED VEIL"
"The Painted Veil," which has appeared in London, reveals a new Greta Garbo:
The Garbo of "Grand Hote!" and "As You Desire Me," and "Queen Christina," the slow-spoken, heavy- lfdded siren, in gone. In her place is a laughing, high-spirited, very human young woman with a very olight accent and a knack of putting over dialogue (writes the film cor- respondent of the Daily Telegraph.)
The first hall of the film is main- ly comedy. Whereas Somerset Maugham's book starts with a dramatic scene where the guilty coupla stare terrified at the slowly turning door-handle, the film sete out to show the heroine's back- ground-how she cùme to marry a doctor she does not love and how she fell in love with the attractive, shallow colonial official.
The bedroom scene, obviously first-rate material for drama, has been eliminated entirely, no doubt as a concession to America's new standard of purity.
Nor do the changes end here. The contral situation-that of the doctor who drags his wife to a plague-stricken-area-in-punish-lier for her unfaithfulness-romains, but otherwise the story has been pulled about to make possible a conventionally happy ending.

The files of a number of Cali- fornia attorneys yielded many examples of crude and eccentric willa which the law admitted to probate. The case of the dying sailor who breathed, "These are for Dalay," as he held out his watch and a few coins, was cited, as well as the instance of the millionaire who left nothing but the family Bible to his heir. It was later discovered that the Bible contained a number of marked passages which, when put together, explained whore his tremendous fortune was hidden.
A Frenchmna ordered that A recipe for a new dish be pasted on his tomb overy day, and a com- patriot of his, a lawyer, left £10,000- to a local lunatic asylum, declaring [that it was simply an act of restitu- ition to the clients who were Insane
