What made Reneé and Louise Devereaux the toast of Paris was an innate charm mixed with blue blood connections; they could capture Chez Maurice's audience not only with their crystalline voices, but also with their tantalizing wit and style. As an act, the Sisters Devereaux enthralled audiences with Reneé's dusky voice and flirty, yet demure eye contact with every audience member; contrasted by Louise's crystalline tones and flamboyant, yet charming dance steps.  The combined effect was simply compelling to behold. While abroad in America, the cool new jazz sounds mesmerized the sisters, and they soon paired their love of singing to this wild new rhythm.  Ushering them into a new world of music and mischief was Opaline, the dusky-voiced chanteuse and famed dancer; it became no surprise that Opaline would join them in Paris at Chez Maurice to pack houses every performance!  Of course, the sisters' widowed mother, Madame Gabrielle Devereaux, did not approve of her daughtersÆ antics, which were constantly being brought to her attention under the scornful eye of Mme. Devereaux's Aunt Maryvonne.  Little did they know a scandal was unraveling at the jealous hands of rival competitor, Le Scandale Rouge, and its owner, Bijou Petit, to fan the flames of discord amongst the Montmartre nightlife and its denizens.  Yet through the tirades of common born Bijou's avarice and the staunch reproving love of their mother, Reneé and Louise would not let society define who they were; their escapades amongst the 1920s French artists' community would be legend.  Moreover, one would be captured by the eye and heart of the young American expatriate, George Parker — a handsome dandy and journalist on the scene, who would find himself having a hard time choosing between the two sisters' affections.
