Flower of Paris(1916)
Fleur de Paris has Mistinguett playing herself in a double role as two very different characters. One role has her performing as a music hall star, whose popularity leads an American impresario to lure her with a lucrative offer to tour the United States. The other role turns her into Margot Panard, a young working-class dressmaker lured to the theater by posters of Mistinguett.
