a barrage of letter*—between 400 and 500 a day—are arriving at Warner Brothers studio for Mervin Leßoy’s new star, Fernand Gravet. Contents are being reported to Leßoy, who’ll consider these fan reactions in charting the French actor’s future pictures. Ernst Lubitsch’s description of Gravet Is one of the shrewdest—, “a continental Robert Montgomery”. For some time a little boy has been appearing regularly at Marion Davies’ beach house to talk , through the fence to one of the star’s Great Dane dogs. The other day Miss Davies received a busi-ness-like letter from the youngster offering to buv the dog and including $1.68 in small change Touched, the star called up the boy’s parents, told them she’d like to give him the dog, but it was an expensive eater. That could be arranged, the parents thought. So Miss Davies just had the dog de- 1 livered to his youthful admirer. Also a letter containing the $1.68. ’ News Notes: . . .
