Louis B. Mayer forced Jimmy Stewart and other male stars to go to a brothel?

I got a good laugh out of that. While unlikely, it is so easy to picture that EXACT scenario, with Jimmy’s voice and everything.

I know this is off topic, but my favorite anecdote about Mayer is when he needed a pair of specific animals for a film but did not know the proper plural word for what he needed.

Supposedly he barked into the phone: “Get me a mongoose. And while you’re at it, get me another one!”
mmm

So, how did Mr. Mayer know for sure that these men allegedly did or did not have sex with the hookers? Was he watching through a peephole? If so, HE’S the pervy one IMNSHO.
