i 1 1 Mi rHida Meyer Jonasson Co- Sphinx of Hollywood As quietly as she has lived In Hollywood, Greia Garbo leaves it Sunday for her fiist visit to her home in Sw'eden, where, visiting relatives, she will spend the Yuletide. No one knows definitely whether she is coming back or not. The Garbo is Hollyw'oods Sphinx. Cinema ballyhoo has made not the slightest impression on the scieen siren, who, in real life, is cooly and remotely attached. The Swedish star never goes anywhere in Hollywood.

She puts on no dogs; Is thrift personified. While ethers have ridden in expensive limousines, the Garbo has been happy with a modest car, a modest suite and an old-fashioned and inexpensive beach hotel. She goes about in unstylish i lothes, with a battered hat stuck down on her head. On the set, when not before the Kleigs, she invariably wraps up In an old trench coat and seems to be always chilly. I never heard of her even taking a passing interest In clothes until she got ready to go home for a visit.

Maybe someone told her it was a reflection on America to return from it looking dowdy, for she was persuaded to turn herself over to Gieer, filmlands evangelist of fine feathers, and get a few frocks made. All the time she was being fitted the Garbo amused herself eating caramel ice croanu Never a suggestion did she make.

Dec 7 "Flu played the heavy role in motion picture studios this past week. The epidemic in Southern California, gaining ground with 70 0 new cases a day, hit filmland with a wallop Thanksgiving.

Tne stars unable to enjoy turkey dinners were Richard Earthelmess, Mary Philbin, Clara Bow, Jack Gilbert, Lois Wilson, Monte Blue, Sally Phipps, Ruth Taylor, Jean Arthur, Ruth Eiuer, William Haines, William Boyd, Phyllis Haver, Maria Prevest, Loretta Young; also four members tof Our Gang, Mary Ann Jackson, Harry Spear, Bobbie Hutchinson and Joe Cobb. Director F. W. Murneau and Producer Hal Roach are laid up. Colleen Moore is Just recuperating from the flu.

Frank Lawrence, Caddo film editor, is down with it. Hoot Gibson was brought back from location In Arizona suffering from a severe attack. Clara Bow, fighting a bad cold at the time, went up to the Stanford-Cahforma football game. So did her temperature to 103. Two trained nurses and a ambulance met the film flapper at the tram the next day.

Now Miss Clara is on the mend. Marie Prcvost HI Marie Prevost has been the Sliest on filmlands sick list. She attempted to keep on wotking, was stucken with double pneumonia, and rushed from the studio set to the hospital. The latest bulletin i3 that while very ill, she will recover. A final separation from her husband, Kenneth Harlan, with whom she had become reconciled after application for divorce.

Is said to have greatly "upset" Miss Prevost and contributed to her lack of resistance. A few days after her mothers sudden death Patsy Ruth Miller collapsed with a bad case of flu. Their relationship was unusually close. Mrs Miller was like a sister to Patsy. She had just returned from entering Patsy's younger brother In Princeton when stricken with a heart attack, resulting in her death an hour later.

The flu Is no respecter of persons; writers, directors, cameramen, electricians, stenographers, script gills, prop boys are laid up. Scarcely a producing plant but what has been hard hit, to such extent that several studios had employes vaccinated with antitoxin. Quite a few important productions are halted to the tune of thousands a day, Including talkies. Postpone Production T.me was when sniffling colds and a frog in the throat meant nothing in the life of the silent drama. But now that sound productions have to be Aimed In utter silence, anything approaching a cold delays work.

Wesley Ruggles, directing Mary Philbin her current picture Poit of Dieams," had a chest cold which subjected lam to frequent sneezing. Miss Philbins attach of flu came on with hoarseness. As the director must maintain peilect quitt and the star has to talk and smg, pioouction activities had to be postponed ard "Port of Dreams" is sjund.y slumbering pending their recovery. Real life funct.ons have been affected too. Reginald Denny wedding cunner to be given at the Mayfair Club oance had to be given up on account cf the Illness of so many film celebrities'.

Instead of a quiet home wedding and a big celebration afterwards, the Dennys were forced to reverse the program. They had a brilliant ceremony at tnc Hollywood Athletic Ciub, and left Immediately for a quiet honeymoon at Denny's hunting lodge in the San Bernardino Mountains. Another couple, unable to get away from the studio because so may employees were on the sick list, were married right on the set at the Fox Studio where innumerable screen weddings have been pulled off. Sam Katzman, assistant director, and Hortense Petra, comedy fi.m star, found then wedding day falling on a very busy one, decided that taking their vows on a movie set would be as binding as anywhere else. 11 "I'1 FOfiEST GUARDIANS TELL JEXPERIENCES Committees From Towns Hold Conference Here Meeting at State House of 100 Managing New Plantations The flret conference of town forest Committees ever called In this country was held In the State House yesterday, with an attendance of about 150 of tbe 1 persons who aia managing the new I forest plantations which 80 towns In' Massachusetts have established.

He said he would apply for a warrant against Freeman on a charge of larceny, for the latters alleged disposition of property which did not belong to him under the statute which covers that point.

Freemans stand was that the land was his and that the house, partly finished by Hunt, was of no value and had no right to be there. Free Free A Si page magazine free vHth tomorrow Sunday Globe.

The Chase Family Home Association brought national recognition to Chase. For 20 years he had been Impressed with the fact that men with lamilies of small children are often discriminated against by landlords and obliged to live under poor conditions. To meet the shortage of homes lor men with families he formed the association with a nucleus of $50,000 of his own money, the purpose of which was the building of homes for tlio worker with a family. A $100,000 trust fund to provide scholarships annually for 24 Jew's of Lithuania birthplace of Mr Chase was recently created by him, known as tns Edward M. Chase Student Aid Association.

He urged the desirability of having foiest area of every town mapped that the town forest committee may know wliat it has to work with. Enthusiastic promotion will always arouse community spir.t to give both land and the labor of improving it, Manning had found.
