• • "Mae West Returns to London in 'Goin' to Town'" • •
• • From Our Own Correspondent, London, June 8 (By Air Mail) • •
• • The British correspondent wrote: The Bengal Lancer, after permitting himself what used to be called "an all-time record" at the Carlton Theatre, has allowed courtesy to get the better of him and has retired in favour of a lady.
• • The British correspondent continued: And what a lady! Her name is Mae West. The vehicle in which she stars — — and did ever anyone invent a more horrid way of describing a film — — is called "Goin' to Town." Story by Mae West.
• • She Becomes "Class" • •
• • The British correspondent added: This is the story of Cleo Borden, blonde saloon beauty and dancing girl in the West when it was west and wild, who is left a fortune by a cattle and oil king. At one she says to herself, "Cleo, you're going to become class!" And does she? . . .

• • Thank you for reading, sending questions, and posting comments during this past decade. The other day we entertained 3,497 visitors. And we reached a milestone recently when we completed 3,200 blog posts. Wow!
• • By the Numbers • •
• • The Mae West Blog was started ten years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 3204th 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.
