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."
