GWILI ANDRE FREED FROM CHESS PLAYER
(Special to The News)
Reno, Nev., March 11.—Blue-eyed Gwili Andre, the Danish Garbo, today checkmated her husband, Stasch Mlotkowski, noted Philadelphia chess expert. She obtained a divorce on grounds of having been separated for five years.
Miss Andre—in the old country, some twenty-seven years ago, born Gurli Andresen—is noted, as an artist's model and radio star,, as well as for her work in films.
Wed in 1926.
She was married to Mlotkowski Sept. 8, 1926, when she met him at Palm Beach, shortly after her arrival from Copenhagen. It was a whirlwind romance, but Miss Andre wearied of domesticity in Philadelphia and went to New York, where her ash blonde beauty speedily made her one of the most sought-after models.
David Selznick saw her in the audience of a Broadway first night and drafted her for Hollywood. There she met bewilderment in her first coaching at the hands of a non-Danish-speaking director.
“You know what he make me do?” she told a friend. “This director he tell me: ‘Miss Andre, act like a tree, very willowy, very graceful.’ All day long 1 got to act like a tree.”
Couldn't Take It.
Finally, the story goes, she went to Selznick and announced: “I cannot act like a tree. I do not know how a tree acts…I have never seen a tree act.”
Reports as yet have given no hint as to her future marital plans. In fact, Gwili denies having any.
“I have not even considered any such thing but you can never tell what a woman may do,” she says.
