We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

You probably know some of the historical facts in the case— that is, how Louis XV ruled France, and Madame Du Barry ruled Louis. She enslaved him with her matchless beauty and, not only that, but her sharp wits were behind many a bit of successful statecraft and wiley court intrigue. Below, you will find Du Barry, played by Dolores Del Rio, efficiently vamping Louis, played by Reginald Owen. On the opposite page, you may enjoy the spectacle of the Emperor of France reluctantly toting his lady's lapdog. Also, on the opposite page you will find Victor Jory, who plays D'Aiguillon, with Du Barry. Is he the real romantic interest, you ask? Well, you had better see the picture. To your right is the stately Verree Teasdale, another featured player in the entrancing Warner pageant called "Madame DuBarry."
