in the world. Will it fall lik,
departs for the Fascist here
Mussolini has made the choice
Of his successor doubly difficult
by exiting to obscure position every
man who crowded him for the
limelight.
But now It looks as II one man
had come along upon whom II
Duce has bestowed the dictatorial
blessing. He Is Count Galleazzo
Ciano, minister Of foreign affairs
and what Is more important, hus-
band of Edda MusSolini.
Little MussOlini
Ciano is a born actor, and his
acting consists chiefly Of imitat-
ing his papa-in-law. Italy Is full
of Little Observation-Disclosures
Fascists who ape II Duce-but
Count Ciano Is the best mimic of
the lot. He can roll his eyes, blow
out his cheeks, pucker his lips
exactly like Mussolini. He even
struts around with his thumbs In
the top of his pants-the village
blacksmith pose SO frequent with
II Duce.
Not long ago Ciano tried .
balcony speech at Florence a Ia

sions were perfect, but as he

When Ciano was just out OF col
lege he became dramatic critic OF
a Roman paper, wrote a play HIM

lini, then a great devotee Of the
theater, saw it and liked 1t.

Lonely C1anO
Even before he married Edds
Mussolini, young Count Ciant
was an ardent Fascist. AS a con-
sui in China at the age of only
%, he headed the Black Shirts o.
the Orient.
There were only three men ir
the organization, Ciano and two
army officers. But they took every
conceivable opportunity to parade
around China in black shirts, CIV.
ing the Fascist salute.
One day the foreign Diplo.
matte Corps got word to report al
Marking at o p. m, for the buria
