Drawn up at the opposite end of the square were blue-caped police, steel-helmeted Gardes Mobiles and mounted squadrons of the Garde Républicaine, guarding the bridge across the Seine to the Chamber. The first volleys went high above the crowd, splattered the pale stonework of the U. S. Embassy. But the mob swept on, firing in return. The next volleys were low and straight. Torches hurtled through the windows of the Ministry of Marine, setting its ground floor on fire. Terrified mobsters hammered frantically on the locked gates of the Hotel Crillon for shelter...

Whereupon the end men call out "Enter Saint Therese...

Charley Chase's value, like that of most cinema comedians, is his appearance. He is a pale, clerical, common place individual whose manners should match his unobtrusive looks. Instead, he is equipped with preposterous permanent jitters. He produces laughter founded largely upon disapproval. His favorite antic is grinning self-assurance after some display of crass social ignorance...
