This segment of the film is unforgetable. Ruth Chatterton was a supurb actress. No one like her today. Sad..Thank you for including this

Skeets and Ruth had worked together on stage in Magnolia Lady (1924). Cute intro to her number, which, unfortunately is a bit heavy-handed for such a light-hearted musical revue. Chatterton is certainly believable --- I like the way she powders her nose at the end and goes back to "working" the streets of Montmartre.
