...years after the Bourbon Restoration, the French Film, "L'Agenie des Aigles" is a credible historical document. These soldiers who in a changed France have nothing left but their ardent admiration of L'Empereur try to bring about a return of the grand age by attempting to seat L'Aiglon, the young son of Napoleon, on the throne of his father.

...Snitzy Arms." ("So you're not living with us any more!") When Mamma loses Philbert in a department store she finds him in the rattrap department, inside a trap. When she loses him at a cinema theatre, the usher finds Philbert stuck to the chewing gum under the seat. Last month Philbert achieved one distinction never granted Henry.
