Colored Guard Does Good Job for Garbo
NEW YORK (ANP)-It Was "no dice" for newspaper photographers who sought to take pictures of Greta Garbo, celebrated film star, as she crossed the country last week, prior to embarking for her home in Sweden. Among those who placed themselves between the actress and the photographers was a powerful colored man whose looks meant business to the ambitious picture men. Once or twice, the screen star relented and allowed the camera men to come on, but for most of her trip, her colored guard completely protected her.
