...Dorothy C. Shepherd-Barron was captain; her civil-engineer husband accompanied the British Wightman Cup team as coach and chaperon. Mrs. Eileen Bennett Whittingstall, once the best woman tennis player in England, was still the prettiest.

The plot concerns a street-singer and a street-hawker who fall in love with the prettiest girl in their neighborhood. One of them wins her in spite of complications caused by a bully-boy who gets possession of a key to her apartment. The cast is not famous (Albert Frejean, Edmond Greville, Pola Illery), but they act so well that spectators do not have to understand French...
