...cordial reception accorded a German actress on the Parisian stage, as well as other straws in the wind, have shown an increase in Franco-German amity. But the dove of peace has not flown over the same route as that taken by the German troops in 1914, for that way went through Belgium. And Belgium, unlike France, shows no disposition to forgive. The latest indication of this comes in the news that the inscription in the new Library of Louvain: "Destroyed by German fury; rebuilt by American love," is to remain unchanged in deference to the wishes of the populace...
...cranks are carping. Mr. Wynn is not as funny as he can be, but he continues safely as one of the five or six funniest men in the world. Surrounding him herein are stunning costumes from the designs of Roman de Tirtoff-Erté and executed by Max Weldy, Parisian; stunning chorus girls from the designs of Divine Providence; and periodic blasts of song. The thing also seems to have a plot, something about a girl from Manhattan slums who became famous in the Folies Bergere.

Shrewd, the Parisian photographers mailed both Miss Franck and Mr. Kahn 25 pictures, bill enclosed. Shrewder, Miss Franck sold them to the Daily News together with a vague rumor. Thereupon she received many thousands of dollars' worth of publicity. But she is not engaged to Mr. Kahn...
...cold Englishman engineer who shaves every day, even in the jungle. To add to her difficulties, the thin-lipped Nordic already has a wife, who refuses a divorce. The artless child overcomes all these obstacles, in spite of the fact that until the last reel, she wears no Parisian gowns but appears only on horseback, in the jungle swimming pool, in a hula custume, or (when her dog scampers into the Englishman's room and she gives chase) in a kimono. Divorce is forthcoming when the wife is tricked into believing her husband penniless. All this receives, and certainly...
