Garbo and Herbert Marshall
Tf there has been any doubt about x Greta Garbo’s long-standing reputation as the greatest film star of them all, it has been definitely settled by her newest production, “The Painted Veil,” the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film, which will be screened in Wellington shortly. In “The Painted Veil," a tensely dramatic story of marital conflict in the heart of a cholera-plagued province in the Chinese interior, Garbo rises to greater heights than in any of her previous pictures. As Katherine Fane, the bride of a serious-minded British doctor, who combats the Chinese cholera, Garbo appears more glamourous, more beautiful and a finer dramatic actress than ever before. The picture, too, gives her a new leading man, Herbert Marshall, her fifteenth in the nine years she has been starring in American films. Marshall’s role of the jealous husband is a difficult one, and he plays it in masterful fashion.
