Princely Pilgrim
The chronological account of Lord Renfrew's visit to the U. S. concluded:
¶ His lordship paid a sudden visit to Manhattan. At the Julia Richman High School, girls cheered him; at the Museum of Natural History, where he saw dodos and dinosaurs, the officials and guides recognized him. Leaving the Times Annex, chorus girls cheered him from the windows of their dressing room in the Apollo Theatre. On his way to the Herald-Tribune offices he was pointed out by the inimitable Will Rogers to a bevy of Ziegfeld Follies beauties who immediately broke into raucous cheers.
¶ While in the Times building, the Baron read his ready-made obituary and some of the great fund of information about him stored in the morgue. At the Herald-Tribune, he pressed a button which started the presses which covered part of a Sunday edition. Everyone was impressed by the knowledge of printing possessed by the "English lord," so much so that he was made a member of the pressmen's union which authorizes him to seek employment on cylinder and flat-bed presses, entitles him to sick benefits, insures him a good funeral.
