A Woman of Paris
After the war, Chevalier went back to Paris and created several songs still known today, such as "Valentine" (1924). He played in a few pictures, including Chaplin's "A Woman of Paris" (a rare drama for Chaplin, in which his character of The Tramp does not appear) and made an impression in the operetta "Dédé". He met the American composers George Gershwin and Irving Berlin and brought "Dédé" to Broadway in 1922. The same year he met Yvonne Vallée, a young dancer, who became his wife in 1927.
