The voice and the personality: are those of Maurice Chevaller.
When this idol of the music halls of Paris, and London making his first picture in the! Hollywood studios, "Innocents of Paris," there was not much work done by anyone else.
When word got around the lot (as it does, quickly and mysterious ly) that Chevalier was about to sing for the camera and the micro- phone, a general migration from all the other departments-stages, shops, mills, and offices-took place.
Workmen, writers, stone- graphers and directors slipped over to the set to listen to this man who is rated as the greatest in- ternational entertainer of our day.
