...Sorbonne, Paris' 700-year-old university, there are neither football teams, fraternities nor student proms. Undergraduate amusements are far more individual. Not long ago Students André Sarved, Paul de Rivaudier and Lucien Hoch sat behind a mounting tower of saucers at a Montparnasse café table and decided that French deputies, who were then shouting themselves into a lather over payment of War Debts to the U. S., were appallingly ignorant of U. S. life, geography, institutions...
...crucial years in the life of a steel puddler, Jim Stanley (Charles Bickford), and his loving wife, Anna. Jim starts out as a laborer, becomes, for the purposes of the narrative, a steel tycoon almost overnight. In an addled way, he gets involved with a lecherous blonde girl (Gwili André) in New York and even tries to divorce his wife to marry her. Suddenly, in court, he experiences a change of heart, admits he has bribed witnesses to testify against his wife, goes to jail for perjury. By the time he gets out, Jim is no longer a tycoon...
...last week. POW! WHEEE! FUMP! For three long hours manhole covers burst from their settings, hurtled through the air, followed by 20-ft. comets of flame.

Tardieu turned up for the opening of the Chamber without his usual mustache and wearing horn-rimmed Harold Lloyd lunettes. Correspondents reported that L'Americain "looked more like an American than ever."* The reason pugnacious M. Tardieu & friends of the Right abstained from voting against M. Herriot & friends of the Left was because they interpreted his "plan" as a direct thrust at Germany...
...unlike those of the U. S. police, form a pleasantly lurid fable in which the Paris gendarmery is faced with the improbable task of snaring a rogue whose nastiest proclivity is for turning his enemies into statues. This rogue (Gregory Ratoff) abducts a happy and prosperous flower girl (Gwili André), murders her aged father and plants evidence to incriminate her pickpocket lover. Then, in his shadowy chateau, he sets about hypnotizing her into a counterfeit princess, since he needs one for dishonest purposes. The prefect of police (Frank Morgan) is clever. He sets the pickpocket free with instructions...
