TRYING A COMEBACK
Gloria Swanson Is a Granny
But She Could Pass for 30
By HARMON W. NICHOLS
Washington, Oct. 27 (U.R) The only thing I don't like about
grandma is that she uses brown sugar in her tea.
I tried some of the tea and it tasted awful. Otherwise, granny
was a swell person. Also very pretty.
This grandma happens to be one of the grand ladies of the stage
and screen, glorious Glorie
Swanson. At the moment, she
is tangled in a two-ply mission:
A comeback and a campaign for
plugging the motion picture box
office.
Granny, who has three kids
of her own and three grand-kids,
is SO and admits it. She could
pass for 30. At the Union Sta
tion she was trim and pert in a
brown wool suit. She was wear
ing arm-length kid gloves, un
derneath which was an armful
of gold bracelets. No rings.
She was in Washington to plug
a picture which she likes.
And Granny (she doesn't like
the word) has made a few good
ones herself. In all going way
back she has been in 63. The
last one was "Sunset Boulevard
which a lot of people think was
supposed to be a story of her
life, "but which really isn't."
Miss Swanson, when you come
to know her, is folksy.
What do you reckon she did
at 8:30 in the morning, before
she even ordered her peaches
and shredded wheat in her hotel
suite? She shipped out pictures
of her family, just like any oth
er mother or grandmother.
"Here are four generations,"
she said, showing her own Mom
one of her own children, her
self, and three grandchildren.
Hollywood still loves her for
her many firsts. She was the
first big time star ever to have
a baby. She was the first to
adopt one and the first grandma
Also the first ever to marry a
"title." Meaning royalty.
She was the first American
star ever to make a picture in
France, the first to make a talk
ing picture in England, and the
first voice ever to broadcast
from England to America.
She's done about everything
in the entertainment business
including television, which she
thinks needs a little revision
and she remains a swell person.
Miss Swanson was born in
Chicago, and she doesn t give
you the broad "a" on the stage.
She is a serious worker, but at
the same time she has a fine
sense of humor. She loves to
tell you about the time a fold
ing bed got off its rollers and
trapped her halfway up. Her
mother rescued her.
She doesn't know what is
messing up the movie business,
but she vows to find out.
"I think it might be the fact
that Hollywood doesn't open its
arms to aspiring youngsters and
give them a chance," she said.
"After all, the people in other
businesses give a kid a chance to
show his stuff on a sort of ap
prentice basis. Why shouldn't
the pictures take some of the
dramatic students and give them
a try? If they are misfits, you
might as well tell them. They'd
be better off.
Before the brown-sugar-in-tea
incident, Miss Swanson was
standing outside the station ad
miring my little Austin.
"I'd like a ride in it," she

Dupont Fabric
Wilmington, Del., Oct 27 VP)
E. I. Du Pont de Nemours &
company has staked $22,000,000
on a new synthetic fiber called
orlon which will go into com
mercial production late next
year, company officials disclos
ed today.
At the same time they said
nylon production is "at an all
time high and we shall be mak
ing more and more of it."
First orlon yarn will be turn
ed out at a plant, now being
built, in Camden, S. C. Invest
ment in this plant and in re
search, officials said, will add up
to $22,000,000.
Although the chemical his
tory of orlon is not unlike that
of nylon, the company explain
ed, orlon is intended chiefly for
use in different fields.
Whereas nylon yarn is em
ployed largely in the manufac
ture of clothing for both women
and men, the new fiber will be
spun into automobile tops, tents,
tarpaulins, chimney filter cloths,
curtains and a variety of indus
trial fabrics.
"Orion's main property." a
spokesman said, "is it's tremen
dous sunlight resistance. Slight
ly heavier than nylon, it has
proved in tests to be the most re
sistant fiber of all our synthet
ics. "
