Like the lives of many religious leaders -Moses, Mohammed, Joseph Smith, Aimee Kennedy Semple McPherson, Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy-her biography is spotted with lacunae. She deliberately made them. She would never tell her age (it was about 87), nor her girlish life, nor permit her elderly photograph be taken, nor tell the source or spending of the millions of dollars given her. Luxuriously she spent and lived. The First Church of Christ Scientist which she founded in Manhattan a generation ago, when Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy was still her friend, cost $1,250,000. Next door...
...Willebrandt was not alone in the public eye. Newshawks penetrated to the village of Lomita, suburb of Los Angeles, to interview and photograph a schoolteacher named Arthur F. Willebrandt, 40 years old, with a pompadour. Court records show that Arthur F. Willebrandt divorced "M. Elizabeth Willebrandt" in 1925. The disguised name was Mrs. Willebrandt's idea. Mr. Willebrandt's grounds were amicable. He charged desertion after they had been separated some eight years. She did not contest the suit...

Fannie Brice told her "own story" and some Indians were observed worshipping God-in-Nature on a mountain peak (via Underwood & Underwood photograph). Mrs. Stillman wrote on Paris fashions, not far from a huge photograph of herself. The U. S. institutions discussed-and apparently believed...
...There are three categories of photographers-scientific, amateur and those who photograph for profit. From the last I have suffered a great deal and Princess Mary has suffered a great deal more. Such photographers have the most tiresome knack of clicking the camera just at a moment when one's mouth is wide open and some unattractive attitude is being struck by their victim. I would like to call that kind of a photographer a damned nuisance...
Only one scandal disturbed the Royal homecoming. Crown Princess Astrid of the Belgians, Their Majesties' Swedish daughter-in-law, was flayed last week, by a fanatically Roman Catholic news organ, Le Vingtieme Siècle. Wrote its Priest-Editor: "A recent photograph of Her Royal Highness shows her seated, with the skirt somewhat above the knees. The radiant beauty of the Princess aroused sufficient admiration in itself without the addition of such a piece of trivial daring. The example coming from the throne, or even the steps of the throne, is the most substantial bar that can be opposed...
