Grant the President’s Son Remains in San Diego Romance
Ulysses S. Grant Jr. now sixty one, long settled in San Diego, where he built a business, married twice, and recently starred in a sentimental Distrimage romance with Mrs. America Will. Born July 22 1852 in Bethel Ohio, he grew from poverty to Harvard graduate and Columbia LL.D., serving as secretary to his father during his presidency. The narrative shifts to the Duke of Somerset, newly president of the British Olympic Games Association, famed for expeditions and rugged travel, with a short genealogical note on the dukedom dating to 1547 and a brief cautionary tale of the early dukes.
