It is known that Peter had lunch with Ava as a publicity stunt for the studio, and a photo was taken of the two. Frank saw the picture in the paper and was furious at Peter. He rang Peter and asked if he wanted his legs broken and told him they would be if he was seen with Ava again. He threatened Peter's life, which terrified Peterbecause of Frank'smob friends. Frank hung up before Peter had a chance to explain that it was a publicity stunt not a full blown affair.
