...Mata Hari," which was reviewed in the CRIMSON on January 7, is now the major attraction at the University Theatre. It has the double disadvantage of being a story enshrouded in legend of which everyone knows something, and of following the similar movie, 'Dishonored." Without Greta Garbo as the famous dancer in the espionage service of the Central Powers, the movie would be utterly unsuccessful, so weak is the plot...
...Unrest in Kashmir is practically chronic by reason of the rule of the Hindu Maharajah, Sir Hari Singh, over a population of 3,300,000 which is 95% Moslem. The Maharajah achieved international fame in 1924. as the celebrated "Mr. A" who had been victimized of $750,000 by European blackmailers for consorting with an Englishwoman. Moslems now complain that he shows undue official and political favors to Hindus. By rumor, the Indian Government contemplates vesting control of Kashmir in a council of ministers, equivalent to a regency...
...Hari Singh Bahadur, Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir, held on with both hands last week as his throne shook. Rich Kashmir, sometimes called "a paradise on earth," has a population of 3,300,000, of whom 80% are Moslems. But Sir Hari is a Hindu who holds his job through the good offices of Great Britain.

...Hari tried unsuccessfully to hide his identity as victim in a blackmail plot under the pseudonym of "Mr. A." He saved himself $750,000, but had to call upon the British to attain his throne a year later. Since then Moslems in Kashmir have complained bitterly that all the best government places go to Hindus. Last autumn British troops saved his throne when the Mohammedans revolted. Reports last week said that 5,000 Hindus and Moslems have been killed in skirmishes since then. As fresh troops were being rushed across the Himalayas to save his throne again, Sir Hari suddenly...
Great actresses, almost by definition, appear in vehicles which are focused on glamour rather than on truth. Mata Hari, brilliantly acted and directed, is no exception. Garbo. in the opinion of her admirers, is the Hollywood Duse, not far inferior to the tragic Eleonora. In this picture her Swedish voice, her awning lashes, her curt gestures are somehow becoming to the abridged and euphemistic story of a Javanese dancer whose real name, according to the best authorities, was Margaret Zelle MacLeod. Good shot: two lighted cigarets in a pitch black room, where Garbo and Novarro are talking...
