POLA IN RELAPSE, MISSES EINSTEIN DATE
Palm Springs, Jan.12
Pola Negri, film actress, suffered a slight relapse yesterday in her recuperation from a recent operation, but her condition was said not to be serious. Dr. and Mrs. Albert Einstein were forced to postpone a luncheon engagement with Miss Negri.

Greta Garbo’s “Mata Hari” has been released in New York and while it is not being hailed as her major effort, the critics seem agreed that it will satisfy her clientele. Ramon Novarro is the hero but Lionel Barrymore and Lewis Stone have fat roles.



Film Daily carries a story that feature production for this season is at the fifteen-year low ebb. The major companies plan 375 productions and the independents 175, a total of 550 as against an average of 747. Last year 687 were produced.
It’s not as bad as it sounds, however, for fewer pictures mean better pictures and that was the howling need in 1931.
