...that "art was being degraded"; his second that "boxing is a man's game and a natural occupation " and therefore presumably as worthy of perpetuation in oil as any other slice of life. There is ample precedent; the Luxembourg has for several years contained a portrait of silk-hatted Jim Jeffries, called The Champion, by Charles Dana Gibson, and George Bellows has done an eerie pointing of boxers actually in the ring. Lewis values his painting...

At the same meeting a Laborite protested against a proposed invitation to U. S. Rotary Clubs to hold a convention in Mexico City next year. He said that "silk-hatted, frock-coated Rotarian Fascisti from the United States were no less enemies of a socialistic revolutionary nation than the black-shirted Italians."

Betty Compson, Conway Tearle, Anna Nilsson, and Cyril Chadwick are asked to convince the customers that a girl will become a lady's maid simply to bask in the presence of her beloved-the lady's husband. Their love fuses. Finally, the hero becomes Prime Minister. There are flashbacks of Watteau shepherdesses and a few shootings.
