when she rode up to the Palace of Justice on
"A tandem bicycle with her husky housemaid
pedalling for dear life behind her
Conducting her own defense, the celebrated
actress admitted that she had signed the
affidavit and that for all she knew Madame
de PompadoTr~ had never slept in that bed,
or even see It, Then she pleaded extenuating
circumstances and how she pleaded.
After ALL her whole life had been devoted
TO undying love of beauty, her whole career
TO one long, ardent service to beauty, in all
it's forms. With that in mind, had she not
suffered time after time having her face
lifted and her nose remodelled, so her audi
ences would be rewarded?
A true artist always reacts TO beauty. she
cried not to sordid facts and figures. So
when she first saw that bed she was SO en-
thraed by its exquisite design that she
bought it without inquiring into its origin
or authenticity.
Later on, people told her it was so much
like the other furniture in the Trianon
that it must be an original, and they made
so much over it that after while she began 20

The more she thought Of it, the more she
became captivated by the idea What could
be more perfect than that she, Cecile Sorel,
the celebrated actress, actually owned and
for the celebrated Madame de Pompadour?
Intriguing. so intriguing did that harmless
little fiction become that she simply had to

Many people would think long time, no
doubt, before they'd adopt a snake as a
bosom pal or luck bringer But anyone who
makes such a selection has the backing Of

On and on she went, in a similar vein,
until she finally broke down and burst into
tears Without moving from their seats, for
fear of missing something, the jury promptly
found her not guilty-and the judge backed
them up by saying that it was only too evil
dent that in all innocence Madame Sorel had
merely fallen under the spell of her own vivid
imagination.
On the other hand M. Arnaud and M.
Porte should have inquired into the validity
Of the antique they were selling-so they
were found guilty and fined 1000 and 5000
francs respectively
That night, however, Cecile had anything
but a receptive audience in Count de Segur,
the husband who is little more than half
her age With chilly dignity he listened 10

nose and arched her eyebrows. It's my name

reading glass to find your name buried at the
bottom of the articles, tossed in as an after

inimitable Sorel!"
Nevertheless, had he not protested time
after time over the shoddy devices with which
she got publicity-such as calling in reporters
and making a Partisan holiday every time
she had her face lifted? Or bolstering up her
waning career by deserving the Coincide Fran
caise for the Folies Bergere and then, after
conserving 10 lurd posters leading every one

"Ah, ha!" he cried. Then you are not

And for the first time in her life an audi
ence walked out on inimitable, durable Cecile

And who was the original owner? All, ha!
That was the point of it all-the original

BERNE, Switzerland. Oct 10
%EVENTY-YEAR-O CECILE SOREL,
the perennial ingenue of the French stage
- scored a new triumph the other day by
successfully playing the role Of injured limo
cence before a Partisan Judge and jury.
But when she got home and flied TO put
on a repeat performance in her boudoir she
was such a dismal flop that her husband
decided she was neither injured nor innocent
and promptly filed suit for divorce.
The cause of Il all was bed-but don't
let that make you jump to the wrong con-
clusion. 1t no ordinary bed and the part
it played in the establishment of Cecile's
noble husband, Count de Segur, was far from
commonplace.
To begin with Cecile loved this bed. She
priced il more than any other collectors item
in her choice assortment of antiques and in
the old days when France was strictly French
and she was still going places, she wouldn't

So, naturally under ordinary circum-
stances, Cecile wouldn't have parted with it
for all the frozen French gold in Martinique.
But there came a sombre day when money
was more important to her than sleep, and
she had to sell it.
Her good friend NJ. Raymond Arnaud, the
antique dealer was only
