made--Vilma Banky, the beautiful blonde
recently discovered in Budapest and
brought to America. The hooking birds
sang alone in the trees at the Valentino
home in Whitley Heights that evening,
but part of the auden .e was missing.
Valentino had only kindly interest in
his leading lady, but he CALAMITY went to
a pre-view of her picture. She had been
loaned by Goldwyn for appearance in
"The Eagle" and, naturally, "Rudy"
wanted her to succeed. Critics were hail
ing her as one of the most important
"finds" of the year.
Not so bad as cure FOR loneliness!
According to studio officials, Valentino
plunged into work with the greatest zest.
Early on the lot, restless, anxious to go,
buoyant! There is a scene in his picture
in which. as a Cossack, he is required to
ride a horse over hurdles in a military
review. Before they were ready to
"shoot" the scene, Valentino was astride
the animal and trying out its PAGES. He
raced it about the lot, leaped it over
boxes and when Camera" was called,
drove his gray mount at the hurdles as
hard as it could go. Reckless, almost, in
his abandon! He volunteered a re-take
and again drove his gray at top speed.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-10-25

"Not on your life" Valentino replied.
"1'll stop my own horses"
The little pony hit him hard. 1t
Knocked him into the dust, sprained his
wrist, tore the skin from an ankle and
left bruises all over his body. When
twas finished, Valentino lay crumpled in
heap and did not rise. But the face
which thrilled the flappers was untouched.
The cuts and bruises were bandaged
and "Rudy" went nome, figuratively
speaking, "on stretcher." He was out
next day, but he did little work.
Was he getting lonely for Natacha?
His fan mail had almost doubled follow
ing the announcement in the newspapers
that she had gone to Paris and a divorce
was imminent. Maidens all over the
country began writing him messages of
cheer and the stack of perfume-scented
notes delivered each day brought an
aroma of rose gardens. Ever so many
nice things were said to him, sufficient
to case the ache in most any hungry
heart.
But Rudolph was after excitement and
thoroughly enjoying this loneliness. Then
came an episode in his picture wherein
he was called upon to fight bear. His
eyes lighted with the prospect of new
thrill. He announced himself ready.
"a double will do that" Director
Brown declared.
''Not for me!' firmly declared Rudolph.
"Get a bear that's not too hungry for
meat and I'll fight him."
Brown got one which proved too tame
to be stirred into action. The next was
too cross. but a third was found which
looked upon a wrestling match as a romp
and he and "Rudy" went at it. It makes
a splendid feature in The play.
And so it has been--a round of speed
ing motor cars and furious rides on
horses, and an example of boyish exuber-
ance ever since his wife departed. He
appears to be a different individual.
Very recently a still deeper mystery
enveloped the whole situation when re-
ports were circulated that Mrs. Valentino
had been watched by detectives for sew
eral weeks before she departed
And now that his picture is finished,
and Valentino is headed for Europe his
friends are specializing upon the result.
Will he meet Natacha in Paris and will
they make up? Or will he join her there
and perfect the legal proceedings for
divorce? Will sight of her recall the hon
eymoon days in their exquisite home on
Whitney Heights, where the hooking birds
sing at night and where the blinking lights
of the city spread before them to the sea?
Will his days of feverish, speed-mad exis
tence cease when he comes within her
uuieting influence, or viii he 90 on being
care-free, exuberant, laughing like boy
just released from restraint?
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-10-25

"Greatw Director Brown exclaimed.
Out on the boulevard, his gray sport
model began purring thr ough traffic. And
it can purr some, too! It was purring
along at SO miles an hour in a 20mile
zone with "Rudy" passing almost every
thing in sight, according to Motorcycle
Officer Swearingen, when he ranged
alongside of him.
"Drive over to the curbv he ordered.
"All right, Old Topp' the ''movie
sheik" smiled. "Give me the ticket.
Where do go?"
Before Justice Marchetti," the officer
replied.
Valentino strobe into the courtroom
some days later in full make-up-Cossack
boots, cloak, fur hat n everything.
"Doing 40 to As kilometers an hour,
Your Honor" he said. "My speedometer
doesn't register in miles"
The court advised him to put a calcu-
lating table by the side of the speed
register so he could readily figure how
many miles his kilometers meant.
"Fifty dollars" the judge said.
"Rudy" paid the fine, smiled and
tramped from the courtroom.
Hollywood was beginning to hear of his
exploits. The usually sedate, cool, dec

waving a CHEEKY salute and moving on.
The Valentino home adjoins that of
Francis X. Bushman, whose wife, Beverly
Bayne, recently divorced him. But the
two have not had time to moralize on the
whims of women since Mrs. Valentino
left. That is, not very much, at any rate.
The neighborhood has seen Valentino
galloping by in the carly hours of the
morning on mustang pony he bought
more than year ago. With heavy boots,
chaps, sombrero and jingling spurs, he
has ridden his little bay into the hills at
a hard gallop to be back in an hour or
two with his steed painting. Folks in adj

back yard of his residence boxing with

of disfigurng the Valentino features, but
he has given the "sheik" some hard work
outs and some interesting pointers in box
ing.
One morning not long ago, Valentino
failed to be on hand for his daily eXer-
else. Instead, he remained in bed and
when he moved, he groaned. A servant
brought the morning papers and there
staring at him on the front pages were
stories which bore similar headlines:

orous "sheik" was hitting it up
at high speed.
A few nights after his ap-

riding in "flivver" on Western
avenue, the throttle of the little
machine wide open, the car
careening from side to side and
the "sheik's" hair flung wildly
in the breeze. Ahead of him
was a car which gradually drew
away and was lost in the dark
