What's next? How about the uniforms? In Beijing, ITTF vice president Claude Bergeret has been telling anyone with a tape recorder that the female table tennis players should not be afraid to shake things up a bit in the wardrobe department.

In the four comedies, "L'Orme du Mail," "Le Mannequin d'Osier," "L'Anneau d'Amethyste" and "M. Bergeret a Paris," various characters appear, who through their ignorance of the changing conditions are easily made butts for the audience to laugh at.
