If Mr. Gest insists that Lady Diana play, I shall sue him for $100,000. I have already spoken to my attorney and I have a good case.

I called their film 'a picture for morons.' I called their perversion of my story a betrayal of the public. I added: 'Jesse L. Lasky wouldn't know ethics if he met them in his grog. I hazard the opinion that he never heard of the word...
