Montmartre Turns to Sousa for Dance Resort Entertainment
In Paris Montmartre and the Latin Quarter revive John Philip Sousa marches for modern one step dancing. Native French and visitors favor the old war era tunes over jazz and tangos, while political talk on the Duke of Orleans prompts debate. A new French chamber bill funds shipowners with a tax on goods and passengers to boost maritime orders. Nice may become a university town for winter courses funded by subsidies and taught by Aix en Provence and Sorbonne staff, with Meridional poet Frederic Mistral highlighted. Velvet dominates fashion, with new velvet coats and cloche hats giving way to larger, easier hats as styles shift.
