Among others, Smith conferred with a photographer friend as to the best means of making big money from the princely essays. British publications were out because of an unwritten agreement with the crown to ignore the private lives of the royal children. Smith sent cables to U.S. and European publications. He got a quick telephone response from two men speaking broken English who claimed to be representatives of France's Le Figaro. Smith met with them at a lonely spot outside London, and when he showed them the royal jottings, the two identified themselves as Scotland Yard detectives...
...Same Boat. Nasser had laid on quite a welcome. A pair of saluting cannons chugged steadily while the Egyptian army band played a carefully rehearsed series of national anthems, most of which were unwritten five years ago.

And Danny Meehan, as Fanny's unrequited lover and faithful friend, makes a dreary role cheery just by standing on his head to whistle. Sydney Chaplin has a cheerlessly unwritten part as Nicky Arnstein, the gambler and jailbird whom Fanny loves, marries, overmanages, and loses. It scarcely helps that Chaplin lackadaisically stands around in a tuxedo most of the evening looking like a rented escort at the wrong address...
