actor had become a shame and a dis
- grace to all decent Frenchmen when the
happenings, which ] am about to tell you of,
took place in Occupied France.
The reason decent Frenchmen shrugged
and blushed when Gutry was mentioned
never was published in the newspapers
Guitry the man of great talents had sold

Nazi papa, Jean Luchare, is editor of the
German endowed newspaper, lie Nouveau

playwrights pledged TO work sabotage, con.

But, later important papers were missing.
oh, the bright-eyed girls Of France whose
