The Love story of the World Famous Dancer, Lola
cTVIontez, from the Stage Play.
Never has there been a more colorful personality in history than Lola Mon
tez, at whose bidding political destinies of Europe were moulded, revolutions
were fought, kings have abdicated their thrones and royal courts of the Old
World thrown into social upheavals. It is not extravagant, therefore, to say
that "The Palace of Pleasure," which is based upon the fine story of this
woman, written by Adolf Paul, is one of the most colorful pictures to reach
the screen in years.
