day, | was compelled to make as many as
eight complete changes during the day.
No dressing room accommodations were
provided for me at all, notwithstanding
that had requested that small dressing
room be built near the location, and l
was compelled to make changes in my
open touring car where possible, or more
frequently under the embarrassing and
undignified conditions of making the
changes in the open.
After three days of a-duous work l
told the business manager of the company
that it was shameful that | should be
treated in that manner and compelled to
walk in the scorching sun and through
the dust more than one hundred yards
every time | was compelled to make
change, and must make this change in full
sight of everyone else.
"My Toreador costume weighs with its
embroidery about fifty pounds and is skin
tight. For the type of work that was
doing in working with dangerous bull
| needed all the strength and rest pos
sible"
Not all of Mr.. Valentines complaints
are of this nature, of course. He had
thought, it seems, that his contract was
like that of another star with regard to
its main provisions, one of which may
come as revelation to many people.
The clause that Valentino imagined
would be in his contract provides that the
actor shall make at least one picture a
year in New York, and shall be given
transportation for himself and his wife to
New York and back. 1t also provides
the star with an opportunity to reside six
weeks or longer in New York City once
each year in order that in his off hours he
may see all of the places, have access to
libraries and books on costuming, man.
ners and customs, armor and other physi
cal conditions of the various periods, he
may attend art exhibitions and musical
performances, mingle with the people of
New York, observe contemporary habits,
modes and styles and freshen himself up
for the following years work.
But after Mr.. Valentino had signed his
contract, he was unable to find this pro-
vision in it.
There was also, in the contract on
which Mr.. Valentino thought his contract
was modelled, this provision: "The COM
pany shall at its own cost and expense
furnish all photographs of the artist neces-
sary to distribute among the public and
shall attend to the artists fan letters"
But this clause seems to have been
omitted from Mr.. Valentines contract.

Girls-can it be that the photo of Rodolph
you thought he sent you and that lovely
written message and the dear boys own
signature-can it be that his hired
secretary did it and that Rodolph never
even saw your letter?
Then, too, it seems that certain friends
of Mr.. Valentino were not permitted to
visit him while he was at work, that his
personal press agent was denied co-opera-
tion, and that on one film, at least, the
names of two women were featured with
his.
What Mr.. Valentino has to say in his
testimony in regard to not being adver-
tised always on all occasions as the sole
star of the picture, is very interesting 1t
appears that there was a clause in his con-
tract that his name should be the only
one used in big type or prominently men,
TONED in advertising all his films.
Rodolph introduced in testimony photo
graphic copies of some advertising of one
Of his films, as follows:

as Showing

1t was certainly very careless of
Valentino to sign contract without read
ing it, and reading every word of it. He
will know better the next time.
A movie star expects to get admiring
letters from the public-the more letters
he gets, the bigger he is. But somebody
must open and read these "fan" letters
and pay the postage for mailing the stars
much coveted photograph. Mr.. valen-
tino valued the "fan' letters and wanted
his pictures sent to everybody who asked
but he had an idea that the movie peo-
pie ought to pay for it all.
'"The cost to me of furnishing photo
graphs to distribute among the public in
response to the letters that l directly re-
ceive and the cost of attending to my
fan letters is at the present time ap-
proximately $500 per week and this has
been rapidly growing and is now rapidly
increasin SO that l have no doubt that
before the expiration of the first year =
the said contract this cost will equal or
exceed $500 per week." Valentino as
serted.
81 have Just received word from INV
secretary that in the last week the number
of requests for my autographed photo
graph, which letters contained no money
or provision for the photograph or post
age, amounted to $1,385. She tells me
that she cannot handle the work and that
l must get an additional secretary, a
second typewriter and larger office ac-
commodations."
What! Is somebody else signing those
treasured autographed photographs" !?

of three walls open on the fourth side,
and without any roof whatever, letting a
burning sun shine in, and heating the
chair so that I could not sit on it.
Gas my costumes were such that
could not wear underwear and was naked
each time that | changed my costume,
this condition was almost impossible.
There was no floor in the studio and was
compelled to stand in TIE sand. There
was a very small mirror, although | had
requested full length location mirror,
which is usually given to the stars and
leading players in order that they may
properly arrange all of the details of
their costumes.
"An empty wooden barrel was given to
me for seat which vas few days
later changed for a chair. When first
sat down on the chair between changes
of my costumes l was burned, and
jumped up and did not sit down again
upon it."
Nor was it enough that Mr.. Valentino
should be forced to sit on red-hot chair.
His troubles with dressing rooms and cos
tunes continued. A still worse thing
happened to the hero of "The Four Horse
men"-hear it in Rodolph's own words:
Whenever | was not acting on the
set (the STACEY and was tired or needed
rest, was compelled to ask the hospital
ity of some more fortunate player who
had a couch, or to put a coat on the
carpet on the concrete floor of my own
dressing room and use it as a pillow, or
lie on the floor until / was called. By
doing this with the skin-tight costume that
| was wearing and not allowed to take
off while resting, several rips or tears
would occur, causing delay until they
were repaired.
II was several times severely repri
manded by Mr.. Eyton, the general man.
ager, for matters that were trivial and
were not my own fault. Among them
was a reprimand for appearing with
rip in my costume that had been caused
wholly by my being compelled to lie down
on the floor of my ROOM"
Horrors! Valentino has split his trous-
ers!
1t will partially console Mr. Valentines
many sympathizers to learn from his own
words that he is not one to fiaunt the
manly beauty that has made him famous.
Rather, with becoming modesty, he seeks
to conceal it. But this was not always
practicable:
During the period of the taking of
the bull fight at the Western ranch in a
scorching sun and during the windy, dusty
The Washington herald., 1922-11-26

EVERYBODY who goes to the movies
r knows Rodolph Valentino-knows
him, of course, as he moves about
on the screen, knows his eyes, his smile
and his red-blooded heroic deeds.
Certainly he seems to be a very happy
young man, full of chivalry, with a soul
above whining about the little things
which would harass less noble character.
But all this is on the screen.
The real truth is that Rodolph Valen-
tino is unhappy. Very unhappy.
OF course he has been divorced from
his first wife-but that isn't what is dis
tressing him.
And he has married another wife; but
there is no cloud of trouble here, at least
not yet.
But still Valentino. the heroic lover of
the movies, is very, very wretched. 1t is
because his salary is too small and his
movie masters are so mean to him and so
cruel to his new wife and he isn't given
any allowance to pay for postage stamps
to mail his picture to the millions of dear
girls who write for his photograph.
Unhappy Rodolph's ptiful story is
enough to bring tears to the eyes of Ajeeb
the Chess Automaton if it wasn't for
more tragic twist to the misery of the
unhappy screen hero-he is being fol-
lowed by detectives!
Now who in the world would dog the
tracks of Rodolph Valentino? Some love-
sick girl in disguise who seeks to be near
him?
Oh, no. A real, hard-boiled sleuth, just
like the detective story detectives, and
Valentino says he knows who is hiring
these hounds and why.
The reader has seen Valentines manly
form and heroic deeds on the screen.
Now the reader may step behind the
scenes and see poor Rodolph almost Sob
bing tears in his dressing room. With
heaving bosom The Great Lover cries
aloud 81 cannot endure the\tyranny, the
broken promises, the arrogance" of his
masters.
Down in the solemn atmosphere of New
York's Supreme Court lie the long legal
documents in law suit in which Vaen-
tino and his employers of the movie COM
pany have locked horns. And here it is
in these documents that Valentino lays
bare the anguish of his soul and reveals
the misery which his movie smile has al
ways hidden from the audience.
Who, indeed, beholding Mr.. Valentino
as the staggering, fascinating toreador
in his screen play, strutting toreador
antly among his conquests-who could
suppose that behind that devil-may-care
manner lay an aching heart and
scorched rear anatomy?
Yet, says Mr. Valentino, in his sworn
statement:
"They transformed part of a public
general dressing room by placing parti-
ton at one end, thereby constituting a
small, impromptu dressing room composed

"RODOLPH VALENTINO
With Lila Lee
and Nita Naldi"

While Mr.. Valentino is full of chival-
rous deeds as the public sees him on the
screen, he did not consider it a chivalrous
thing to share the glory of his picture
with very charming women like Miss Lila
Lee and Miss Nita Naldi. Chivalry and
business are two different things. Com
menting on why it was a serious affront
and damage to him to have the names
of these two young women printed on the
advertisement of the film, he said:
