Harry ("Prince Michael Alexandrovitch Dmitry Obolensky Romanoff") Gerguson drove into Hillsboro, Ill. in a 1933 automobile for his first visit to his boyhood home in ten years. Announcing he might soon make a motion picture in Hollywood ("I know everyone there"), he chatted with old friends, bestowed his autograph, took to bed "to catch up on his sleep."
