...some 8,000 men have undergone this operation. Many of the operations were performed by Dr. Harry Benjamin of Manhattan. This young man (aged 41) is an imaginative surgeon.

...Prince of Nicomedia dies. A general and a count come to claim her for the little comic opera kingdom as its heir presumptive, the daughter of the King's youngest son. For a girl in her early teens, Ernestine Sophie has admittedly a remarkable amount of poise, extraordinary insight and understanding. She likewise develops into an excellent shot with the revolver. So she goes to the intriguing little court and sets it upon its ear. The Princess finds two men who love her dearly, besides revolutionary plots and a near-revolution, but all are successfully quelled...
