• • "She Done Him Wrong" — — Another Laugh Special • •
• • You will enjoy Miss West's colorful story, her racy dialogue, her stunning performance as Lady Lou. And you will also enjoy her singing of the famous old "Frankie and Johnnie" as well as two hot new numbers written for this motion picture. Danger is just a part of the day's work on the Bowery in New York. And Lady Lou judges her men by the diamonds they can give her, and she doesn't question where the diamonds come from.
• • "Saved from Police Retribution" • •
• • That's why Chick Clark (Owen Moore) is in Sing Sing for stealing diamonds for Lou. That's why Gus Jordan (Noah Beery) is the present incumbent for Lady Lou's favors. And how she is saved from police retribution is told in an exciting new screen feature, "She Done Him Wrong" by Paramount Pictures. . . .

• • You should have seen Mae West practicing rope-twirling in the wide-open spaces of the Paramount lot!
• • "It's a good idea," murmured the hair-patting, hip-swinging blonde. "I've never had much trouble roping in my men, but this ought to make it even easier!"
• • In Her Own Words • •
• • Mae West said: "It's got sex and comedy. It's my personality. I put in all the things the public expects of me. Yet it's different. None of my stories is the same. I never use anything I've done before for the basic plot. If you've seen one of my pictures, you haven't seen them all. I always forget everything I've ever done and so I start from scratch."

• • The Mae West Blog was started nine years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 2856th blog post. Unlike many blogs, which draw upon reprinted content from a newspaper or a magazine and/ or summaries, links, or photos, the mainstay of this blog is its fresh material focused on the life and career of Mae West, herself an American original.
