separation. She comes to realize that
loneliness in any large city Is sad, but
In Paris 1t is torture. and she is glad

Havara, who is credited with having
been a child prodigy on the piano. He
proves his ability with several clever
numbers. The senoritas are appro-

little man, the funniest ever, nimble,
spry, and with the appetite of a goat.
He swallows his lighted cigar, cigar
