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 Hotel" and As You Desire Mo," and "Qucan Christina," the slow-spoken, heavy- Hidded siren, le gone. In her place Is a laughing, high-spirited, very human young woman with a very slight

accont and a knack of putting over dialogue (writes, the film cor respondent of the Daily Telegraph.) The first half of the film is main- Is comedy.

Whereas Somerset Maugham's book starts with A dramatle scene where the guilty couple stare terrified at the slowly turning door-handle, the film sets out to show the heroine's back- ground-how she came to marry & 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 now standard of purity.

Nor do the changes end here. The central situation-that of the doctor who drags his wife to a plague-stricken area to punish her for her unfaithfulness-remains, but otherwise the story has been pulled about to make possible a conventionally happy ending..

CREPE SATIN

For Hostess Gown

Rose Colour

It is worth the money to see the Cinderella Olympian Garbo as a hooking up her sister's dresses, tossing the conversational ball to and fro with Gaorge Brent, grow-|-- ing enthusiastic at the enchanting sights and sounds of China; and she shows in the dramatic passages that she has still the power to busy gest passion with a fine economy of volce and gesture.

Herbert Marshall plays the hus- band remarkably well, particularly in the scene where he tells his wife of his discovery and her fate; George Brent is the lover.

COOKERY NOTES

"Beauty of Crepe Satin". "There is no doubt that, for what we have come to regard as important occasions, nothing is so attractive or becoming as the 11010 soft crepo satin." The hostess gown illustrated was made of rose colour satin.

THE FILMS OF 1935 "Chief characteristics of talking picture entertainment in 1995 will bo good music, clean comedy, and drama of modern life, all built on strong, simple stories of present- day times," says Winfield Shedhan, the Fox vice-president in charge of production.

When the lentils are soft, rub the soup, through a sieve, using a wooden spoon, rinse out the pan and put the soup back, boll up, season to taste, and serve.

STRANGE WILLS

LAWYER'S GIFT TO LUNATICS

CANTANKEROUS HUSBAND

During the preparation of a recent film It was desired to intro- duce into the story a will of rather irregular form, and researches were conducted for actual precedents to avoid a charge of Improbability. -

The files of a number of Call- fornia attorneys yielded many examples of crude and eccentrio wills which the law admitted to probate. The case of the dying sailor who breathed, "These are for Daisy," 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 hair. It was later discovered that the Bible contained a number of marked passages which, when put together, explained where his tremendous fortune was hidden.

A Frenchman ordered that a recipe for a new dish be pasted on his tomb every 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 wero insane

A carefully-worded statement providing for the disposition of his property was found, some 20 years Gormart ago, on the fly-leaf of novel belonging to a suicide. Al- though unwitnessed. it was declared valid.
