French Follies, April 1930

This April 1930 issue of French Follies features multiple works of fiction set primarily in Paris. The lead story, "She Was a Dian" by Marcel Vroust, concerns three rival sculptors—Andre Villon, Jean Maupin, and Pierre Patout—who compete for the affections of their model Desiree through a blindfolded sculpting contest, with the winner to claim the girl's undivided attention. "A Money Matter" by Jacques La Mond follows Glenn Wilder, a wealthy young American art student in the Latin Quarter, who recovers a silk chemise blown into a courtyard, using it as pretext to meet the girl across the way, Vivi Bullier, an unemployed hat shop worker. The magazine includes a brief comic poem, "Mademoiselle d'Armentieres" by Frank Kline. Content emphasizes romantic and flirtatious encounters within bohemian Paris settings.
