Chicago, Jan 6
Greta Garbo of the alabaster skin, the mysterious smile, and the propensity to snub New Yorkers, explained today why she gave would-be interviewers in the east the run-around.
"I doan leek mos' people," smiled she upon changing trains here for Hollywood to resume her movie work. "I am mos' happy to be far, far away from New Yark. They are so impoleet in New Yark. They geev me no peace. Now I feel happier far away."
La Garbo, the former Stockholm barber shop lather girl, high-hatted New York columnists by registering in a hotel as "Gussie Berger," and wearing smoked glasses to deceive them when she went in and out during her Christmas vacation. They made such a hullabaloo that she apparently changed her mind about talking to people. She answered all questions amiably during her hour in Chicago, even those concerning love:
"No, I eem not in luf. No, I eem not evah to marry. No, I eem not to stop playing in the movies. I eem not weary of them. They are my life."
