GRETA GARBO.

Leaving Hollywood for Europe,

IN POOR HEALTH.

Millions of cinema goors all over the world will have their curiosity stirred by a mysterious" message from Hollywood-about - the future of Greta Garbo, the most mysterious film star of them all.

The message is published as a Hollywood telegram to a Swedish newspaper, the "Stockholms- Tidningen," As quoted by the Central News it states:-

Greta Garbo has been in very poor health during the last few months. Several times during film-shooting she has completely broken down, and it has been necessary always to have het physician handy,

As soon as her present film work is completed she is going away from Hollywood to seek re-

reation and rest in Europe.

An official statement SAYI that after a couple of mouths' rest she will begin to act again, but probably not in Hollywood, but in Berlin and Paris and per- hans Elstree,

In spite of this statement, however, it is doubtful whether she will take part in film work' for a very long time..
