Perhapsthis quotation from Thomas Ince in Photoplay (October, 1928) best captures theallure of Garbo: Five of us sat in a projection room when Greta Garbo’s firstscenes – the picture was Ibanez’ “The Torrent” – were thrown up on the screen.So far as the screen went, Miss Garbo was an unknown quantity. Would she orwouldn’t she? Did she or didn’t she? A thousand feet of film sped by, and thenanother thousand. No one spoke. Then more film, and still more. Finally thelights flashed up. One of the men ground his cigarette into the floor with hisshoe. “But two roles in life are open to that lady, ” he said. “She can act, orshe can start a new religion. So far as results go it won’t make much of adifference. She’ll click either way.”SHIPPING& HANDLING FOR THE CONTINENTAL USA IS $24.95.
