Even then, despite its small staff, TIME kept its readers abreast of the news, if not ahead of it. During the first six months TIME'S cover subjects included not only the figures of 1923 (Uncle Joe Cannon, Warren Harding, Eleanor Duse, King Fuad, Hugo Stinnes, Andrew Mellon, E. M. House) but some who belong very much to 1938: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mustafa Kamâl Attatürk, Burton K. Wheeler, Benito Mussolini, John L. Lewis...

Princess Jane San Faustino (née Jane Campbell of Manhattan) introduced him to Crown Prince Umberto at a smart midnight party.

...adjectives in the advance notice begin with "it is said to be". Miss Sibyl Jason is one of the cute baby actresses who set back the public with winsome appeal. Although more natural and healthy than la Temple, she is ill served by her studio. The great Duse herself would fail to delight if continually coddled by an old sea captain like Guy Kibbee. A summer resort is the scene of mild melodrame concerning a pirate treasure hunt and two gangsters up from the city. Kibbee moves pleasantly in and out of jail and spends every fifth minute kissing little...
