SCREENLAND Honor ^age Greet Fernand Gravet, gay and gallant star of "The King and the Chorus Girl," who brings a grand new brand of romantic humor to the screen As dapper and debonair as the Dulce of Windsor, to whom he bears a rather startling resemblance, Fernand Gravet is Europe's latest gift to Hollywood, accepted with thanks! Left, with his co-star, Joan Blondel ^GREENLAND hails a new star! "The King and the Chorus Girl," Mervyn LeRoy's first production on his own, introduces to our American audiences the male cinema pet of Europe, Fernand Gravet, and we believe he will soon belong to that small select circle which includes Gable, Taylor, and Tyrone Power. Yes, Gravet is that good! He has disarming charm— enabling him to resist classification as a handsome hero because of his audacious sense of humor; and still to escape typing as a comedian because of his suave good looks ! Gravet has been fortunate in his first American film, for LeRoy has directed with vitality as well as finesse ; and Joan Blondell is surely Hollywood's supreme soubrette in the co-starring spot of this film introducing Fernand Gravet. 8
