BILE. This sudden right about-face In
the treatment of actors was very anus
ing to us who had a sense of humor-
likewise gratifying This radical change
in attitude extended to all other organ
izations in the industry.
But all this is little ahead of my
story. In his litigation with Famous
Players things continued to go badly
until Rudy and changed lawyers and
secured Max Steuer to handle our case.
It was during these first trying
months in New York that Rudy and
first became interested in psychic mat
tiers. I shall tell you something about
this, for it brought about great change
in Rudy's life and made him much
happier. Through its influence he was
able to communicate with his mother
and others dear to him in the spirit
world. Through it Rudy and I were
able to communicate with each other
almost Immediately after his death.
was on the Riviera at the time he
passed away in New York.
Our interest in the psychic arose in
this manner:
It was during the litigation that June
Mathis came on to New York to confer
about writing the scrip for Ben Hur"
She hoped to get Rudy released to make
this picture. What wonderful Ben
Hur he would have been! AS things
happened, of course, he never played it.
Ramon Novarro did it, and very beau
tifully, too.

continents, with gigantic following of
fans, enormous pulling power at the
box Office. All the facts involved were
so startling, the punishment he had to
take was SO severe, that the case at the
time blazed in newspapers over the
entire world in headlines like those
which a few years ago had announced
victory or defeat in the war zone.
But this was back in 1922 and 1923.
The world very quickly forgetS. So for
the sake Of those who are interested in
learning the truth of the story will
briefly review the high lights. To start
ct the beginning:
could not be dismissed in q day, or q
month, or a year, we made the best
arrangements We could for q protracted
stay In New York. Since mother and
Uncle Dickie Gas Rudy and called Mr..
Hudnut) could not longer postpone
their trip to Europe, we wired my aunt,
Mrs. Werner, always our first aid in
trouble, to come on from the Coast to
b ON ehaperon.
Aunt Mother to Rudy.
Mother and Uncle Dickie sailed OF
en the olympic one morning, wishing
N good luck, which we needed. and
early the same evening auntie arrived
from the Coast.
I must tell you about my beloved
aunt. Mrs. Werner. The world is ia
Nailiar with her name because Rudy re-
membered her in his will. He loved her
as much a. 7 did-eVen more, he used
20 tell me. As no other woman in the
world could have done, she took the
place Of his own mother. Her home
was In Salt Lake City, but she often
visited US In California, and was one Of
those rare people who could be the
third in q household without having
the other two cordially wish she wasn't.
Auntie was never there when we didn't
want her, and always there when we
did-the most tactful, kindest, most
thoroughly adorable woman who ever
lived. And how delighted we were to
see her now!
Auntie and set up housekeeping in
an attractive apartment on West Sixty
seventh street, while Rudy moved to the
Hotel des Artistes, in the same block,
to share an apartment with his friend,
Frank Menillo. Gerry. exhausted by
his long term of service as companion
and ex-off1cio chaperon, had by this
time Ned back to Hollywood.
Under these arrangements both Rudy
and could have a taste of home life
and still comply with the rule for
separate residences" until the long
year should pass and we could be re-
married.
The first part of our litigations with
Famous Players was very unfortunate
Our case was inadequately handled
painfully so, we learned-but by that
time 1t was too late to make amends
The facts which had made the real
breach between Rudy and his producers
were not even mentioned in the aff1-
daVt which our lawyer drew up.
Promises All Broken.
Famous Players had promised Rudy
first If he would finish 1.-The Young
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-22

While June was with us her mother,
Mrs Jennie Mathis, died suddenly in
New York. Mrs. Mathis was q. wonder
full woman, and Rudy adored her, as ne
did all older women who took an IN
tereSt in him and mothered him. ms
was exemplified in the affection he had
for my own mother, my aunt, Pauline
Frederick'S mother, and many others.
In reality he cared much more Tor all
Of them than the young happers ana
girls of his own age.
At Mrs. Mathis funeral he became
acquainted with close friend Of hers
who had the gift of automatic writing.
A few days later this friend sent Rudy
a message, saying:
Take this or leave IL, as you like,
but was asked to deliver this message
to you"
It was sheet Of paper penciled with
words written backward, from left to
right, and could only be read In a
mirror. It contained a message from
Rudys mother, who had died in Italy
some years before, and an old nurse,
of whom-I had never heard. It men
toned incidents in his childhood known
to no one in this country but himself.
At first this scared Rudy almost out
of his wits. He didn't know what to
make of it, But the circumstances sur
rounding 1t were so weird, the incidents
referred to so uncannily true, that curl
osity piqued him to investigate 1t. It
was the first time either he or had

done without his generosity and kind
ness I scarcely dare think. The help
he gave US was entirely free from any
security on Rudy's part-indeed, we
had none to offer. Joe did not even
ask interest on his loan nor accept 1t
when offered. This unSelfsh proof OF
friendship will never be forgotten. AL
though the monetary debt was paid
Immediately, the injunction was modl-
fed to permit Rudy to work, yet there
are some debts money cannot pay. Our
debt to Joe Godsel Is one of these.
Rudy'S case against Famous Players
Lasky, finally settled after long litiga-
ton. was significant in this respect:
It changed the entire attitude of pro-
ducers toward their stars. Hitherto
all screen actors had been mere pawns
in the producers hands. What the
actors wanted or liked was Of no conse-
quence; the producers were the big
boss They ridiculed and belittled the
stars at will, and the stars kowtowed
before them; for over their heads was
held the gun of calamity Of loss OF
contract If they peeped.
Won Actors Battle.
Now everything became suddenly
quite different. On the Famous Players
lot in Hollywood every star had his or
her special dressing room; private bum
galowS for their use sprung up like
mushrooms; everything was done to
make their work as agreeable as posi-

had to fly to New York, that he might
make his other pictures in the East,
where we could be together; second,
that he might have the privilege of
choosing his own pictures in the future,
and, third, of choosing his own director.
None of these promises had been
kept, which constituted Rudy's case
against them.
But these important facts we're not
mentioned in the papers our lawyer
drew up. The only points stressed in
the case he made we're ridiculous, petty
annoyances and complaints-that Rudy
didn't have dressing room of his own
and between shots had to sit on a stump
in the sun; that he was bawled out be-
fore extras and prop boys in the studio
other things that belittled him in the
eyes of the court and the public. What

come in contact with any psychic phe-
nomena, so naturally we were skeptical.
We were certain things Of this kind
could be explained in ordinary ways
If not proved frauds altogether. Never
theless, we agreed to have dinner with
this friend and talk 1t over.
The more we investigated her gift OF
automatic writing, the more convinced
we became Of the great truth that lay
behind 1t. We formed the habit OF
meeting at my apartment one or two
evenings a week. and it was not long
until Rudy discovered that he himself
had the gift of mediumship.
AS doubt in the authenticity Of these
messages passed, the writing suddenly
ceased to come backwards and came
in legible form. Rudy discovered he
had a particular guide in the spirit
world known as Black Feather, the In
dian, who often talked with him. Later
I shall tell you Of the incident where
Black Feather saved his life.
Through these communications we
were both given much helpful advice IN
our present difficulties, and many things
were predicted which later actually
came to pass.

Why a so-called intelligent lawyer

nor could understand-until later.

Kin Of Costa Rican Minister
Compromised Her on First
Meeting, Says N. Y. Beauty

NEW YORK, July s.-Pretty
Marie Price, Broadway beauty,
saw romance in the eyes Of
Mario Montelegre, nephew of the
Prime Minister Of Costa Rica
and second secretary of the Costa
Rica Legation in washington, but
little did she dream that a din
ner in his apartment would cul-
minate with her waking several
hours later dressed in his pa
jamas.
At least this is what Marie de-
clares in her suit for $150,00O
for breach of promise filed
against the dashing young Costa
Rican. who, she declares, on the
morning after that memorable
night, promised to marry her.
Went To His Hotel
Marie said that she had known
Mario for about year and that,
of course, she learned to like him
extremely well. In the course OF
their acquaintance, they went
places together and finally she
accepted an invitation to dine
with him at his hotel.
It was then Marie says that
she was offered few drinks and
from that time until the awaken
ing in the orchid pajamas her
mind was U blank.
Before accepting the invita-
ton, Marie says that her COM
panion told her to invite q mu-
tuaI friend, Jean MCGEE, to call
at the hotel and join them at
dinner.
Uncle Would Help.
Jean called, it developed later,
but could not get above the lobby
floor to find her friend and the
telephone operator refused to ring
the room.
After the awakening Marie said
that Mario promised in the pres
ence of Jean, who returned to-
the hotel, to marry her as soon
as he could talk his uncle into
giving him a post in Paris. Then,
no! no! for the boulevards Of
the French capital.
The wedding day never arrived
| for Marie, and Mario kept post
poning the ceremony, with excuses
of an appointment gone wrong.
s Known as His Wife
Marie admitted she moved her
trunk, after the orchid pajama
night, to Mario's room, and soon
they were known as man aad
wife. He also introduced her as
his fiance when he took her out,
she complained.
1t was but recently that the
fire Of love in the breast of the
young diplomat was extinguished.
and he told his fair consort that
he did not intend to marry her
then or anytime.
A broken heart and fractured
promises. Marie insists, are worth
at least $50, 900.
