Red Heels (Das Spielzeug von Paris)

Cйlimïne, the doll of Montmartre. Direction: Mihaly Kertйsz.

The tone of the story of this comedy is,

sometimes frivolous, sometimes sentimental,

but always deeply human.

The lovers to whom everything separates,

threaten, in the shock of their encounter,

with destroying their own lives.

It is the question of the eternal confusion between loving and wanting to possess,

which has often prevented the advancement of mature people,

because they have not recognized in time the abyss into which they can fall.

In the gray monotony of the modern city,

Paris hides a magnificent bunch of seductions.

Here is one of those seductions, or, at least, the "New Eden" tries to be.

It is a temple of frivolity with few devotees.

The height of horror for the director is an empty theater...

The primadonna Ninette... (María Fein)

The administrator of the «New Edén», whose prehistoric hat

it is a contradiction in this place, where boldness reigns

more extravagant and the most exquisite refinements.

Cash status of the "New Edén".

"The theater has been empty all week... This Ninette will ruin me!"

Duval asks him to come to his office as soon as possible.

The Viscount Francois de la Roche de Maudry, old friend of the «New Edén»...

Ў... Believe it or not, dear Mimn, I'm getting fed up with you!

"When the primadonnas age, they always become nervous!"

«I'm up to the crown of this Ninette!».

«The public too!».

«lf you have half an hour, I will present you with a new star,

"The most charming woman in Montmartre!"

Do not argue... Come with me, I assure you that you will not regret it.

In Montmartre, among the illuminated cabarets

and the typical show offered by La Butte,

a lighthouse attracts Parisian nocturnal.

"You will not have the weakness of feeling a philosopher's soul, right, Duval?"

In any case, the types that are gathered here deserve to be observed...

It is an interesting show.

ЎCй-li-mи-ne!

Cйlimиne is a very prosaic war name

used in the life of Susana. It's one of those beautiful dolls

of contradictory spirit, egoistic and disinterested,

always frivolous and slave of his majesty the trifle,

so essential in the luminous atmosphere of Paris.

(Cйlimиne. - Liliane Damita)

You have a good eye, dear viscount!

It is what we lacked. To fill my room... and your heart.

My heart, dear friend, is bored a long time ago

and has decided not to get involved in boxing adventures anymore.

Soon, the former dancer from La Butte becomes the idol

of the capital and exercises the most kind of dictatorships, that of fashion...

Following his example, the haircut «à la garzonne» invades Paris.

Miles Seward, young diplomat of the English embassy.

He is not rich, but he does not lack illusions.

In his soul, the city has not yet extinguished

the innocent breath of youth.

Your intimate friend, Miguel, professional walker,

You have never been able to take seriously the sweet spectacle of life.

Tell me a little about your conquests, Don Juan's emulation!

Dear Miles, a woman has totally seduced me... Maybe you know her, it's a.

Fashionable woman... Her name is Susana Armard, but her name on stage is Cйlimïne.

That young man who keeps looking at us, are you one of your friends?

Morning I release my new show and I count on your presence...

What is that young man's name? I do not remember that you presented it to me...

Present it to me tomorrow...

You've been very interested...

Yes, I speak of the interest that counts in these cases...

But you know I already have other interests, dear Miguel...

Ў Always toast, salad and nuts!

"Believe me, Franois, I'm getting fed up with this regime!"

Patience, little... patience... You have to keep the line.

What would your admirers say if the beautiful Cйlimîne began to get fat?

Since the triumph of Cйlimïne, the premieres of

«New Edén» were always a very important event.

Christina Landrolet, artist of the Odeon,

that had been until recently the official friend of the Earl of Maudry,

he did not forgive his former protector who granted now

his attention and his purse to the Cйlimîne píncara. (María Hasti)

But Miles has already completely forgotten the first one.

Lady Madison... (Traute Carisen)

Dorothy Madison... (Ria Gьnzel)

And the frivolous name, on everyone's lips,

forced him to remember the premiere of the "New Edén".

Do not insist, Miguel, you know I do not like those ridiculous staging.

A man of my temperament does not know how to behave.

Do not argue Come fast, you will not be disappointed...

«They urgently call me to the legacy!».

Christina Landrolet was jealous, not of Maudry's interest in Cйlimïne,

but of the success of Cйlimïne, which seemed to surpass his.

«I have come only to wish you good luck. "You are splendid, dear!"

«I am delighted to have such good friends».

«We are still good friends!».

When the poor viscount looked in the mirror, he felt,

like a block of ice on his temples, the coldness of his gray hair.

«Climimne and I were talking precisely about you:

"I look forward to seeing you after the show, Mr. Seward."

«Have you forgotten? ЙCйlimïne has invited us to his box! ».

«Oh, sir, I'm really delighted. Are you glad to see me?

«Eh... yes, of course... Anyone would be happy!

I really love talking to you.

He is one of those men that a woman finds very nice.

«You have to leave now. I hope to see you soon, very soon.

De Maudry says that I have no right to love anyone,

"but I love you. A lot, Miles."

Are you crazy, Miguel? Fall in love with Susana, your friend's friend...

Ah! The beautiful Cйlimîne has enough judgment to know that,

Nowadays, it is better to serve money than love.

A few days later, the Paris of art and gallantry,

that opens its doors to the upstarts,

Christina Landrolet was meeting in the salons.

If you had not asked me, I would not have come, Believe me, I'm exhausted.

You will not regret having come.

I reserve a surprise for you, which I imagine will be very pleasant.

Let the young people have fun, dear Miguel.

Drink, do you want? They say that drinking together unites.

The moment dreamed up by Christina to try,

With certain prospects of success, reconquer the viscount of Maudry.

"I have a surprise for you..."

"You will not have missed the evening if you come right away!"

Increasingly sensitive to the unique attraction exerted by Miles,

Susana, as if to confuse herself and escape the sentimental abyss that opened up her

feet, he threw himself into the whirlwind of the most crazy dance, the merry charlestun...

I'm crazy, is not I? It's our life, Miles: The madness, the vertigo, the lie...

But the lie is so beautiful, in this golden wrapping!

Do not tell me anything, do not ask me anything. Morning, in my house, at the time of tй.

You do not know how I'm glad you came!

ЎThis night I'll have fun like crazy!

What for Cйlimиne was no more than a simple pirouette of female coquettier,

it made Miles's heart skip from his chest.

The following day, at the time of t...

«The lady has gone to bed. ЎI was very tired after the repetition! ».

Decidedly, the viscount's role was going downhill.

Susana, since I've known her, I want to fiercely...

I want you to be my wife...

Nan, Miles's sister...

«Why did he make me come? Where is my brother?

"As an old friend of our family, you must tell me the truth!"

I have to go Susana... They are waiting for me.

As it should be, Nan Seward immediately visited his future estate.

A little later...

«Have you already set the date of your wedding?».

«I can not marry Dorothy!».

«I marry... with Cйlimиne, the one of the New Edén!».

«What will our mother say? Have you written to him?

"«I am no longer a child! I can do what I think!"

«You will ruin your career!

Where will you get the fortune for that woman's life train?

Cйlimиne was the essence of femininity.

«Has something happened, Miles? Do you look worried!? »

«Do you know, Cйlimïne, how much do I love you?!».

"«Do not play with me... Cйlimine... You are destroying my life!"

«At last you believe in my love?!».

"«Come with me, Cйlimine! We will start a new life!"

"«You are crazy, dear... ЎїCase us, the two of us?!"

«Does that make you laugh?! We love each other, why not marry?

"You can love a girl like me, but you do not marry her!"

Like everything you tell me, it's sad and sweet at the same time, Miles.

Think again, Susana... What I propose is a peaceful happiness.

We will go to England, away from this depraved atmosphere of Paris.

«Marry... leave the scene... go to a cold country...

I would drown in the fog!

«I would give it to you all, my love, my future,

I would fight for you against the whole society! Is that your love?

«My love before the law forbids me to marry you!».
