PARIS DANCE SCENE.
COLOUR LINE DRAWN. Princes Gcip'ge and Marc Trevalou, sons of the former King of Dahomey, lui.ve begun proceedings for assault against the proprietor of a night dancing resort in Montmartre. They were violently ejected because their presence was resented by rich American tourists, who objected to consort with coloured men. Such incidents have brought upon foreign visitors an official rebuke. They are warned that if they demand the expulsion of coloured men from public resorts they will be penalised. At present, however, the penalty is sought against the proprietor and the waiters. Prince George is a. doctor of letters and a barrister in the 'Appeal Court. Prince Marc is a doctor of medicine. Both fought as volunteers in the French army in the war and were wounded and decorated.
