London, Dec. 8:

MR. NOEL COWARD IN. PARIS The guests at the British Em- bassy Ball in Paris had the brivi- lege of an advance view of part of a play by Mr. Noel Coward which eventually will be produced in London.

Mr. Coward went over to Paris specially in order to play opposite Mlle. Yvonne Printemps.

The dramatist, who speaks ex cellent French. is as popular in Paris as Mile. Printemps is in London--and that is saying a great deal.
