Paris Ball Revives a Romantic Period of France's History

Alternate Titles

At Montmartre's historically known Moulin de la Galette the romantic period of King Louis-Philippe's reign was brought to life at a ball attended by prominent socialites. / Invitation to dance, the orchestra is playing a tune out of Messager's immortal operetta "Veronique". But perhaps these modern girls know only jazz and might feel uneasy in their crinoline dresses which it took 300 feet of ribbon to finish, Paris, France, late 1930s
