A Parisian Romance
The story, in brief, tells of Baron Chevrial, whose whole interest in life centers in women and his one big hobby, the censoring of female loveliness. He is smitten with the charms of Rosa, the incomparable dancer of the Opera Comique. He pays homage to her beauty by establishing her in the most luxurious quarters and lavishing upon her the major part of his income. Rosa toys with the Baron, even curtailing his liberty, which extends only so far as her whim or caprice will permit. The Baron, however, true to his nature, finds that Rosa does not entirely fill his craving for feminine companionship and seeks new fields to conquer. Therese Beauchamp, a beautiful girl, prominent in society, meets with his approval and he marries her, but keeps up his interest in Rosa, making no effort to conceal his relations with the ballet dancer from his wife. And then a new woman enters his life and for a time he is oblivious to everything else until visions of his former ballet girl charmer arise and he returns to Rosa. He decides to give a party in honor of her birthday and their reunion, and throws open the magnificent Chevrial banquet hall for the occasion, Rosa and ballet girls, still in costume, being brought from the opera house in motor cars. During the progress of the dinner the Baron rises to propose a toast to Rosa, when he is stricken with apoplexy and drops dead.
