Garbo and Seclusion.

“Is Garbo planning to throw off her air of seclusion?” asks a writer in the British “Film Weekly.” This question was asked when Miss Garbo visited in public, a popular night Club in Hollywood. People flocked to the restaurant in hundreds and although the “great Garbo”, refused an offer to dance, she sat at her table with her guests quite composedly, while every eye in the building was focussed on her corner. Marlene Dietrich was there but no conversation passed, between the two celebreties. • '

Max Reinhardt,, who is producing “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ ’ escorted Greta Garbo.

Poignant Action, Three years ago a child actress played a movie scene expressing heartbreak over the death of her mother. Among those in the studio watching . the poignant action was George 'Nicholls, Jr., the film editor. Ever since he saw' her play that moving scene, Nicholls was interested in the career of the youthfbl actress, and when he stepped into the directorial ranks for RKO-Badio w'ith “Finishing School,” he gave her a part in the film. Later, when the studio began a search for the ideal girl to bring the orphhn heroine of L. M. Montgomery’s “Anne of Green Gables” to the screen, Nicholls suggested Dawn O’Day. She won the part and changed her name to Anne Shirley, that of the story’s heroine, and Nicholls was assigned to direct the picture. “Anne of Green Gables” will be seen at the Opera House to-night and Friday.

Designs Own Clothes.

She even designs some that she wears in .pictures, as’she did for “Dr. Monica,” the Warner Bros, production, which will be seen at the Grand Theatre finally to-night. Miss Teasdale is a pupil of Celeste, fashionable New York designer, who has been helping the blonde star for nearly two years with w'ritten sketches and suggestions. Nearly all of Miss Teasdale’s original ideas arc submitted to her tutor before being made up. Her costumes in “Dr. Monica” are quite elaborate as she plays the role of a wealthy society woman.
