...quotation was taken from Henry George's Standard, which varied somewhat from the ordinary press versions. There was nothing derogatory to the dignity of any man, even the Pope of Rome, in appearing 50 years ago in a high silk hat, vulgarly called a "stovepipe" or a "plug." It was the universally accepted insignia of respectability and gentlemanliness. And as to his "walking down Broadway" in it, that had no more connotation of an American Pope than his walking down Piccadilly, the Rue de la Paix or Unter den Linden would have connoted an English, French or German Pope...

Princess Jane San Faustino (née Jane Campbell of Manhattan) introduced him to Crown Prince Umberto at a smart midnight party. Admirers brought him gifts...
...sooner had injured Vittorio returned than Rome picked up its cudgels. Rushing from an interview with II Duce, the editor of ultra-Fascist Il Tevere had his paper on the streets two hours later, condemning Hollywood for threefold intrusion into Italian cinemaffairs: 1) invasion of the market with a product "unsurpassable because of a crushing superiority of means," 2) control of distribution, 3) a threat to enter the theatre field (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's plan for a circuit of its own in Italy). Italy permits Hollywood to take home $1,000,000 profit annually. Since this represents a return...
