WHO THEY ARE


 ELISE DUCHANIER is 8 beautiful birth, who, hy misfortune. has sunk 1. to be a dresser in small Montmar' tre theatre. Elise has the care of a bed-ridden sister, who is attended by an elderly doctor named Lapierre who loves Elise. The young girl is dresser to the Parisian star LOLETTE, a gorgeous creature of flaming passions, glarfng appearance, and equally glaring morals. Elise's modesty and beauty are a thorn in Lolette's jealous side, and the star desires the downfall of her little dresser. Lolette's manager and pro, tector is
 MAURICE BRUNEI, the great entre. preneur, while another follower of Lolette's is certain Count Mordac. To this latter Lolette confides the fact that she is determined to ruin Elise.
 Elise meets a young American named TOM KENDRICK, whom she ut once recognizes as a man of different stamp from the hangers-on of the theatre. Kendrick asks Elise to ac. company him to a great bal masque and the girl accepts. At this ball, in pursuance of her plan, Lolette in- duces Elise to dance with her, so that the little dresser attracts the attention of the famous Brunei the. man through whose hands mary beautiful girls have passed. Brunei offers to make Elise a star-on con- ditions that the pure, young girl in- dignantly rejects. One day Elise faints dead away in her room. Dr. Lapierre, who is summoned, reluc- tantly informs the girl that she has only a short time to live.
 The doctor asks Elise to marry him, but she refuses; she has come to a decision. Since she had only a year to live, she will live to the full. Bru- neIs promise to make her a star springs to her mind, and she agrees to dance for him. signing a contract which is financially in her favor. Dr. Lapierre tries vainly to dissuade her from dancing for Brunei. Elise comes out as a dancer, and scores an immense hit under the name of La Phalene.
