ADMIRER’S LEGACY
PRESENTATION TO CHARITY GRETA GARBO’S MISSION IN BRITAIN N.Z.P.A. Special Correspondent Rec. 9 p.m. LONDON, Aug. 18. • One of the reasons for Greta Garbo’s visit, to Britain is to interview the relatives of the late Edgar Donne, the Englishman who left her £4OOO when he died in a shack in Michigan in October, 1945. At first Miss Garbo was inclined to refuse the legacy, but later her imagination was touched by the story of Donne’s life-long devotion to her, and she decided to visit his relatives and ask them to indicate a suitable charity to which the money can be given. All Donne’s letters to her over a period of years were returned to him unopened, but Miss Garbo has since recovered a number of them and read them.
