CHOICE OF ONE OF FEW BACHELORS
Greta Garbo Picked as
Movies' No. 1 Old Maid
By PATRICIA CLARY
Hollywood, Aug. 26 (U.B One of the few bachelors in Holly
wood today picked Greta Garbo as the movies' No. 1 old maid.
Among a score of gorgeous spinsters, Garbo wears the hold-out
crown Jimmy Stewart used to have, but she's almost an old maid
emeritus. Bachelors here are chasing such younger prey as Pa
tricia Neal and Ann Blyth. S
John Filbert and Leopold I A. r..i...J
stokowski having failed, no- Lo9s Are Destroyed
body else expects to . catch
Garbo. There are only eight
genuine bachelors left in town,
and they re all too young.
Garbo, said Farley Granger
handsome and 24, is obviously
the nation's greatest challenge
to the male,
"But not for me," he added
hastily. "She might be like an
old bachelor, too set in her
ways."
His personal choice, No. 2 on
the old maid roster, is Patricia
Neal, a southern beauty and "a
wonderful actress."
No. 3 Geraldine Brooks.
"She's a lot of. laughs."
No. 4 Ann Blyth, his co-star
In Samuel Goldwyn's "Beloved
Over All." "She'll make some
one a wonderful wife."
No. 5 Yvonne de Carlo. "Just
like having Cleopatra in the
home."
No. 6 Audrey Totter. "A
jazzy kid."
No. 7 Betsy Drake. "If she
can get dates with Cary Grant,
she s good enough for me.
No. 8 Peggy Cummins, the
ex-amber. "She s very beauti
ful."
No. 9 Anita Colby, sometime
girl friend of Clark Gable and
Jimmy Stewart. "She may be
too independent to get married.
No. 10 Jane Powell. "A cute
kid. But I hope she doesn't sing
all the time.
Such famous bachelor girls as
Joan Caulfield, Joan Leslie and
Elizabeth Scott failed to make
Granger's list.
"I don't know them," he ex
plained. A dozen other beauties who
hook husbands in movies haven't
caught their men in real life.
They are Jean Peters, Ruth
Roman, Marta Toren, Beatrice
Pearson, Nancy Olson, Betty
Lynn, Terry Moore, Colleen
Townsend, Vanessa Brown,
Valentina Cortesa and Adele
Jergens,
And they're competing for
the few eligibles with such vet
eran marriers as Joan Crawford,
Paulette Goddard, Ann Sheri
dan, Ava Gardner, Ginger Rog
ers, Hedy Lamarr and Gloria
Swanson. ' '
Granger is ready to do his
part to take one of these ladies
off the market.
"I'll get married," he said, "if
I can find the right one."
Brought to Prison
Albany Sheriff H. A. South
ard Wednesday took Nelson
Hurd and Kelly Kress Marrill
to the state penitentiary to serve
out sentences from which they
hid been paroled, Hurd for two

Lebanon Extensive damage
to a pile of cedar logs owned
by the Mountain States Power
company resulted when a com
pany crew was engaged in burn
ing grass near the site.
Firemen were called to quell
the blaze when it entered the
stacked pile of timber. A gen
eral alarm was sounded when
one fire truck was unable to
subdue the blaze.
The loss is confined to about
50 burned logs in a stack of sev
eral hundred.
