...cruise ended without formal engagement, but rumors of Alexis' Hutton coup flooded the heart of every Paris gigolo with copious bile. A Prince Nicho las Dadiant, self appointed "Marshal of the Georgian Nobility" in Paris, hissed that Mdivani means "secretary" in Georgian. The Mdivanis kept their peace, knowing that Hutton means money in any language, and Miss Hutton serenely announced her engagement. "Alexis has a right," said she, "to be proud of the title which has been in his family for generations." A Hutton aunt tried to raise the issue of Mdivani Mohammedanism but Alexis' friends explained variously...
...Less a play than a gallery of portraits, it has the merit of showing its subjects in action: Lady Grayston (Constance Bennett), an heiress married to a penniless peer for his title, showing off with loud clothes and reconditioned epigrams; an aging duchess (Violet Kemble-Cooper), jealous of her gigolo (Gilbert Roland) who is making love to Lady Grayston; Thornton Clay (Grant Mitchell), a pee-wee snob trying to behave like a patrician; a U.

In the course of her adventures she runs the gamut of engagement, marriage, separation, motherhood, prostitution for her baby's sake, divorce, and gigolo-hiring, before she at last finds true love in the arms of good old Moonglow, the Indian. Not content with this, the scenario writers estranged her father, burned up her baby, and put her mother on a most touching death-bed, all to give little Nasa the chance...
...picture which would probably be an unpleasant little program picture but for the presence in it of Herbert Marshall and Sari Maritza. Marshall is Count von Degenthal who, in the failing of his family's fortunes, has been forced to capitalize his good manners in the ignoble profession of gigolo. Maritza is the pretty daughter of a wealthy businessman who admires the count but despises his calling. When a fat U. S. widow (Mary Boland) buys the von Degenthal castle at an auction and plans to modernize it into an apartment hotel with the count for manager and his valet...
