Swedish actress with an extraordi-
nary collection Of documents.
Lately, she has been trying to
get a message to Greta through
Carl Brisson and it was the Para
mount star who finally requested
the postal authorities to take q
hand.
Brissons letters are typical Of
the communications sent by this
unbalanced fan mind. They come
registered, special delivery from
New York, and each has q fake
return address. The first page
starts off:
''Under penalty of death, do not
fail to read this in its entirety"
In the middle Of each succeed
ing page is q scrap from q poem.
The writer always concludes:
'This is the synopsis Of the
