POPULAR MOTION
PICTURE ACTOR IS
MOURNED BY ALL
Expires In New York At Age o.
Thirty One-Scenes Of Panic .
AT Bier Of Actor
SUSPICIOUS CREATED
AS TO POISONING

Rudolph Valentino, one of the male
actors of the motion picture profession
is dead. Altho' only 81, he succumb-
ed to a complication of diseases, and
expired when just on the threshold Of
wonderful career as an actor. {
Rudolph had name that requires
three lines of a single column to
print, but he Americanized it to the
short form by which he was commonly
known. He came to this country frona
Italy and his start here was charac-
terized by difficulties almost insur-
mountable. ~.
His start in the theatrical world
was made as dancer, and his real
talent was hardly discovered until he
appeared in ''The Four Horsemen."
Here, tho not intended primarily for
prominent part it was soon found he
had captured the play and his fortune
was made. =
His fine personal appearance soon
made him a screen idol, and he was
made the pet of the theatre going
people. Tho adored by the fair sex
he keenly resented being referred to
as a Ladies' Man," and was quick to
demand satisfaction from a physical
standpoint. He was a lover Of out
door life; could box, fence, wrestle,
and was an altogether finished ath-
|lete.
Valentines love affairs were nu-
merous, as is generally the case with
the Hollywood artists. He married
twice, was divorced twice, and at the
time of his death was preparing for
a third venture upon the matrimonial
sea-this time being engaged to the
noted screen beauty, Pola Negri.
The dead actor was high priced
player; money came to him easily,
and went easily; so that the expecta-
tions of his family, who are said to be
getting ready to divide millions, will
be unrealized. His manager reports
him as not being a saver, and prob
ably leaves nothing except life in
surance of perhaps $4,000. - Il
Dying as Valentino did, in the hey
day of manhood, has led some to sus-
pect case of poisoning perhaps by
some jealous man or maid. This pos
sibility has been mentioned to the Po-
lice Department Of New York. but it
has received no official recognition,
and will not unless formal charge is
made. The attendant physicians have
signed a death certificate and named
causes of demise. *:e- = f'c.s,.

on the following Tuesday and We'd
nesday.
The convention will nominate candi-
dates for Governor, United States
Senator, State Comptroller, Attorney
General and Clerk of the Court of
Appeals. In doing so it will merely
ratify the result of the primary cleo
ton, as the delegates will be bound
to vote for the candidates who carried
the respective counties and Legisla-
lative districts.
There will be only one contest pos
sible, that between Governor Richie
and William Mines Maloy for the
nomination for Governor. Willard E.
Tydings, for U. S. Senator; William
S Gordy, Jr., for Comptroller; Thos.
H. Robinson, for Attorney General,
and James A. Young for Clerk Of the
Court Of Appeals, are unopposed.
A platform will be adopted by the
convention and it is expected that it
will advocate a modification of the
volstead law and indorse the course
of the state and city administrations
under Democratic officials.

But it's the same beautiful old
