...music halls, where she delighted Paris with her naughty-haughty sketches of Mesdames DuBarry and Pompadour, all the while causing equally spectacular offstage tremors with her collection of celebrated admirers, which included Russia's Nicholas II, Egypt's King Fuad, France's Premier Clemenceau and Marshal Foch, Italy's Mussolini and England's Edward VII; of a heart attack; in Deauville...
