Text from negative sleeve: 15381 - Lance Haugwitz Von Reventlow (son of Barbara Hutton + Count Reventlow) (used in events of 1938 montage) [stamped:] Jan 19 1939 Text from newspaper caption: The year 1938 was a year of war jitters and jitterbugs, world-shaking events such as a nation losing its identity and such trivia as the Lambeth Walk. In between there were many other happenings, which, though not great news events, held the attention of the public for a time and gave character to 1938. This page presents an array of such events.
