...dance girl Louise Cordet, 16, whose mother, a London pubkeeper, and the Prince are long time friends, flew across for a one-night stand at Paris' Olympia Theater. Wriggling up to the footlights, she gave the full house four songs, including a low and swinging rendition of her smash record I'm Just a Baby that has toted up a sale of more than 500,000 copies on both sides of the Channel...
