FRENCH
Paris Does Not Appreciate
Book of Poems by Her
Greatest Treasure"
BY HARRY r.. FLORY,
International News Service.

PARIS, June 14.-France is not
the Utopia to which Isadora Dun
can thought she was fleeing when
she left America "never to return. "
The American dancer and her hus-
band, Serge Essenine, have just
about decided Russia is the only
country for them.
Isadora again has started her IT,
rades, this time against France and
the Frenchmen. According to the
weekly magazine Aux Ecoutes.
Isadora charges the Frenchmen
with being dishonest and the
French as a people with being as
hypocritical as the Americans.
Honesty is no longer in style, "
Isadora told a representative of
that magazine. "It seems you can
no longer expect a man to be hon.
est; IL he is agreeable that is all
you can ask"
Causes of Outburst.
The immediate cause of the out
burst was the dancers experience
with a French publisher who, just
before the American trip, brought
out a book of Serge's poetry.
Having been In Russia, was
used to thinking in thousands and
millions, so when he asked 5000
francs for 1000 copies, didn't
think it was excessive" she de-
clared. "Then he asked 5000 francs
for the paper. And finally we didn't
get 1000 copies, but only 200. /
think / shall turn bandit myself"
But, worst of all, now that the
book is out, with all of Serge's IA
vorite outpourings Carefully trans
lated into French the French peO-
pie refuse to accept 1t.
In her spare time Isadora has
been reading La Garconne," one
of the most risQue of recent French
novels.
Her Real Treasure.
81 find it an exact picture" she
reports, despite the fact the French
are outraged by the text. "I have
seen much worse things than the
book portrays right here in Paris,
in high society and even among
princes. / could mention names.
Beside reality the book is as limo
cent as can be.
But I plunged into Russia's red
sea and brought forth a real treas
ure land she glanced at EsSenine).
But the French don't appreciate
him. We're going back to Russia,
but before I go / shall dance and
lecture at the Trocadero. The sub
ject of my lecture will be The Art
of Criticism in France"
Again she glanced at Essenine,
this time for pproval. Serge, not
understanding a word of Isadora's
French, simply beloved: Cham

The cost OF Shelby's bitter lesson
