The Glass Cage

Love is certainly in the air this spring as several engagements and weddings occur. Though not all marital alliances are truly desirable, and some are downright scandalous.

Richest boy Huntington Hartford celebrates Spring Break and his 20th birthday by eloping with Mary Lee Epling. They keep their marriage a secret especially from his overbearing mother Henrietta Hartford, but the scandal will surely come out.

Other people and subjects include: April 1931, Louise Van Alen, Prince Alexis Mdivani, Ned Rollins, Mildred King, Harvard dormitory, Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, Daimler, Mercedes, Jaguar, silverspoons, Don Quixote, Ottoman Harem & princes, Newport cottage Seaverge with glass gymnasium, Will Smith – Chris Rock Oscar slap, elopement, fishbowl life in the public eye, and Titanic 110th Anniversary.
