Her voice, also, reproduces better than those of the others heard, although a strong American accent permeates all the talking. Indeed, even French police, and French circus attendants (the film has Paris för a setting) are heard "speaking American." Apart from this in- congruity, the film is most interest- ing, and abounds in thrills.

Behind the Scenes-
Away from the tinsel and glamour of the arena, away from the laughter of the crowds, tragedy lurked in the lives of the daredevil trapeze troupe known as the "4 Devils."
