See the "Tiger Woman" visit her lost lover in his studio and try to lure him back with her charms.
See Mae Murray's "Chiffon Dance" at a midnight party in London:
See the climax in an under- world don, wijere memo- ries of an old, puro tove save two deliting souls.
You have always seen Mae Murray dress- ed in the height of extreme fashions, stunning gowns and fine feathers.
Now see her on The South Sea Islands, dressed only in the custume of Eve.
