Fanny considers Claire Windsor the most exquisitelv ravishing sight outside the French fashion magazines.
PRING may bring flowers and romance to the rest of the world," Fanny announced, as she pushed her way through the gaping crowds at the door of Montmartre, "but it brings only tourists and grief to Hollywood.
"Did you ever see anything to compare with it ? Like a plague of seven-year locusts they have descended on the town, and stars can't go anywhere without having overenthusiastic fans rush up and demand anything from a photograph to a lock of hair.
"Any star is flattered at being recognized and complimented on work he or she has done, but when a drove of strangers rush up and say, 'I don't know who you are, deary, but you must be some one important in the movies, because the head waiter is so polite to you,' it is overwhelming, to say the least.

"There is one advantage in living up in the hills in a place that is as hard to find as Eleanor and King Vidor's. They can go blissfully ahead with their tennis matches against William Tilden, knowing that no tourist can find them. It is hard enough for invited guests to find them, even when led up by some one familiar with the road.
"I'd like to see what a tourist's two-by-four kodak picture of Marion Davies' or Tom Mix's house, taken from the l'oad, looks like. They have such huge gardens surrounding their homes, that nothing but a panorama could take in all the scene.
"All day Sunday, sight-seeing busses roam through Beverly Hills with barkers announcing, 'On the left is the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Seiter — the little blond lady who is known on the screen as Laura La Plante.
