Memories Of Greta Garbo Revived As MGM's New Star Moves In
Bv United Press
The cream-colored walls of Greta Garbo's old dressing room almost shuddered in horror today. A newspaper reporter walked into it for the first time in history.
Miss Garbo wasn't there, of course. She was somewhere in seclusion and blissfully unaware that her sacred rooms were being invaded by a member of the press.
They aren't much, as dressing rooms go nowadays. Just three tiny rooms at the end of a long corridor or a wooden building on the MGM lot.
But in Miss Garbo's heyday, this was the ultimate in luxury. Most stars had only a cramped room to make up in. If they could wangle a private bath, they were somebody.
Miss Garbo had all this—plus a private shower, a dressing room, a sitting room and a reception room. She even had a private telephone, something unheard of in those days.
Everything about her made front page copy around the world. Editors gobbled up the latest tidbits from her press agent on Miss Garbo's floppy hats, her oversized feet and her sizzling romance with John Gilbert. In all that time no reporter ever entered those rooms. Miss Garbo never granted an interview in Hollywood. Not even her
Leigh And Fields Take Marriage Vows
Miss Pearl Leigh, daughter of Mrs. C. V. Leigh of Lawrence, recently became the bride of Dale W. Fields, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Fields of McPherson in a candlelight ceremony before 200 friends and relatives at the First Baptist church in Lawrence.
The double ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. A. A. Van Sickle, formerly of Lawrence. Miss Jean Craig, fine arts junior, and Nita Brewster, College senior, lighted candles.
The bride was given in marriage by her brother, Harold R. Leigh of Kansas City, Mo. A dress of white silk marquiseette over white satin with a high neckline, fitted bodice, and long sleeves pointed over the hands was worn by the bride. A ruffle outlined the shoulder line of the bodice. Tiers of circular ruffles extending from the waist to the floor and a chapel-length train caught up at the back to the waist covered her full hoop skirt. Her fingertip length veil of illusion, shirred to a white satin bonnet, was trimmed with tiny white flowers. The bride's bouquet was of white rosebuds and stephanotis.
The matron of honor was Mrs. Robert R. Yeager of Riverside, Calif., sister of the bride.
Attending the bridegroom was his brother, Dr. Galen W. Fields of Scott City, formerly of Kansas City. Paul Groebe, of Lawrence, Wendell Yockey and J. D. Brown, both of Ottawa were ushers.
press agent was allowed inside. He wasn't even allowed to meet the great lady. He just sat down to his typewriter every day and "dreamed up" stories about her.
The bridesmaids were Dorothy Taft of Lawrence, Ruth Ellen Craig of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Janette Pololl of Topeka.
A reception followed the ceremony in the church parlors.
When she quit the movies 'almost 10 years ago, the studio reverently locked her dressing room—just as she left it. Years went by. After a while the reverence faded a little. A few more years and they began using it as a storeroom—a catch-all for a weird collection of junk and dust—and memories.
The couple are making their home at the Wiley apartments, Fifth and Spruce streets, Leavenworth.
The bride was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1949. The bridegroom will receive a bachelor of science degree from the William Allen White School of Journalism and Public Information this year.
Last month a crew of scrubwomen and janitors moved in, slapped a new coat of paint on the walls, and decorated the room with tomato-daubedra draperies and bright water color paintings. They were jazzing it up for the tiny blonde MGM says $ _{w} $ will be its big new star—Sally Forrest.
Begging is considered a perfectly legitimate occupation in China. The country even has a Beggars guild with thousands of members.
Miss Forrest, who will dance her way to the top opposite Red Skelton in "Excuse My Dust," says she isn't superstitious about occupying Garbo's old hideout. "I just hope some of her magic will rub off on me." she sighed.
And it's kind of ironic that Sally's "filling the shoes," so to speak, of the actress whose feet gained fame as the biggest in Hollywood. Sally wears a size three.

Journalism Grad In Korea
James Bell, '40, correspondent for Life and Time magazines in Korea, suffered a broken arm and chest injuries following a jeep accident early this week.
Mr. Bell was managing editor and associate editor of the University Daily Kansan during his senior year at the University.
The journalist has been plagued by hard luck since his entry into the armed services. While serving in the Philippines during World War II, he was informed that his mother, also in the Philippines, was suffering from serious internal injuries received during a bombing raid. She died March 27, 1945, a month and a day before Bell could reach her.
Mr. Bell was married to Virginia Gray, '41, in February of 1946.
