...lounged on cushions of matched snakeskin M. le Senateur Caillaux could not know that he was near to losing another of his "lives"-this time physically. Most of his previous "deaths" have been political: One, when he failed as Prime Minister (1911-13) to create a Franco-German commercial entente, and was denounced by Frenchmen as a traitor; Two, when scandals touching his private life were exposed by Editor Calmette of Le Figaro who was therefore shot dead by Mme. Caillaux; Three, when M. Caillaux was sentenced for High Treason (1920) because he was thought to have intrigued...
...with candles. It was pretty, and next year Prince Albert had a Christmas tree for his wife, the queen at Windsor Castle; and after that its popularity was established in Britain. It was a German army that took, as well as Death, the Christmas tree to France. During the Franco-Prussian war the Germans, celebrating Christmas in their fashion, spread a love for the custom all through the invaded country. It remained for the U.S. to develop the municipal Christmas tree, erected on the public square in many a city, token of the whole community's rejoicing...

...husband into the Seine and how her subsequent life advances with recriminations, nightmares, protests, to a suicide in the dead man's room in the firelight is told on the screen with the beautiful realism that was the movement of Zola's mind. Splendidly acted by a Franco-German company hitherto unknown to the U. S., directed by Jacques (Faces of Children) Feyder, this is the first picture in which the resources of continental literature are realized in a photography comparable to Hollywood...
