CHAPTER impressive and appealing a Rudolph Valentino was upon the silver screen, however, tumul- tuously he caused myriad feminine hearts to quicken, he was unable to prevent disaster il matrimony. Twice he was married and twice his house- hold came tumbling about his ears. His first romance resulted in his marrying Jean Acker, but happiness of it lasted something more than two | vears, when she divorced him. Yet one cannot but feel that for all the disaster that cameyof those years, there w clinging remembrance of their early happiness in her breast, for Jean Acker went past his casket for a la e upon him in frank, unrestrained tears, Less than a y Valentino gave fortune.

One of her r ymplishments was dancing, he was an instructress in the graceful art in Los Angel Among the pupils who came to her W Alla Nazimova, then at the height of her screen fame. This led to an association of these two which resulted in Mi Hudnut becoming designer of b el costumes and scene for Mme. Nazimova and also her art director in the films.

Tut this proved to be only a gestur if a graceful one, hecause both were convinced that their marriage could not_endure. Within _a short reached the East, Mrs. Valentino sailed for Europe, and on December | 17. 1925, a petition was filed for her in the Paris courts seeking an ab- solute divorce. She was in New York at. the time and said that was not_in her mind to begin this {action when she went to Europe in |the Summer preceding, but that she { had resolved the rupture of the rela- | tionship should be made legal.

When Valentino arrived in Ney York last July, after the filming of | “The Sori of the Sheik,” his ture, he was an aroused and angry man. And the public, which reserv the right to laugh at its hero pleases, had many a grin at his ex- pense. An_editorial in a Chicago newspaper linked his name with the use of pink powder puffs by men, and he deemed an aspersion had been cast upon his masculini He replied with a letter anonymous writer of the challenging him to a duel fashion, fists to replace rapiers or pis- tols and coffee for two. As the iden-| tity of the writer was not disclosed, | Valentino’s belligeraney failed to bring about an encounter on the field of honor, and in a little while the inci- dent s forgotten. Many were fond of attacking Valentino as a effeminite, as using cc ave brace- uled a “he- 1t opinion the | looking at picture of it was reported, to the editorial, not what they T have no idea w of him was held origin 3 boxing expert of the Evening World, | but he went to see the screen star | the day after the “pink powder puff” editorial, and sparred with him. And this in part, what he wrote about it: “I am prepared to go pretty strong in my opinion that Valentino swings « right more wicked than any eruditic jolt the editorial writer can unleash, and said E. W. can come in at any weight, even though Rudy strips around the middleweight limit. The | screen star is a_decidedly fit party— a far more perfectly trained athlete than I, for one, had ever imagined. He may be the acme of male charms on the screen to the ladies and a pain in the neck to most men, but there is nothing so glaringly dainty and dandi- fied about Valentino.” Sparred With Dempsey. Valentino had sparred with Jack Dempsey and been taught a jolt blow. He tried this on the boxing writer, and the latter's comment in print “This writer is inclined to pride himself on hia 180 pounds of physical fitness, but when I blocked what Rudy described as the Dempsey Jjolt, 1 thought m rm was being jarred of Valentino can show a pretty snappy left_and right that packs a real wal- | lop. Incidentally, Valentino had a cauli- flower ear, but it did nét come of the ring. Instead, it was a memento of a teacher he had as a boy who, in pun- ishment, was given to twisting the ears of his pupils, tut all this is ended now. We have come to the end of the chronicle. TI- ness, a day or two of hope and then the slipping away into death. It was Valentino's wish that he should lie for a time where those who wished might see him for a last time, and this was done. He lay in a room in which | had lain the bodies of Olive Thomas, Anna Held, Vernon Castle, Oscar Hammerstein, Nat Goodwin, Lillian Russell and others beloved of a great public. A hundred thousand persons streamed past his casket in that candle-lit resting place. And across the street at a window of the Hotel Marie Antoinette sat a man watching those thousands as, in a long queue, they passed into the ‘hapelle Ardente.” It was Jacques Bustanoby, one time proprietor of a aurant in_ West Thirty-ninth street. He looked from that crowd back through the yvears to the day Valentino, “Signor Rodolfo” danced in “Bustanoby’s” for the price of a meal.

K. REACHED IN GENEVA D. C., AUGUST WILL PROPOSE U. S Senator Trammell to Pre- sent Motion in Congress. Voted for Adherence. By the Associated Press. ‘Withdrawal of the Senate's ratifica- jtion of the World Court will be pro- posed at the coming session of Con- gress by Senator Trammell, Democrat, Florida, one of those who voted for the resolution of ratification. The Florida Senator sald yesterday he had decided to make such a pro- posal because of developments in Eu- rope. where an international confer- ence soon is to convene under the auspices of the League of Nations to discuss the acceptability of the res- ervations by which Senate ratification of the court protocol was qualified. Recently Senator Gooding, Republi- can, Idaho, announced that although he had supported the court, he now opposed it because of changed condi- tions resulting from the French atti- tude toward the war debts. Senator Trammell said he knew of several other Senators who likewise had come to regret their support of the court and would vote for withdrawal, but he named none of them. Does Not Predict Result. Neither did Senator Trammell at- tempt to assess the full effect of the campaign w the court’s oppo- nents since n or to predict whether a resolution of withdrawal would carry. The Senate accepted the court 76 to 17, more than the re- quired two-thirds. Senators are in disagreement whether a simple ma- jority or a two-thirds vote would be required to overthrow the action al- ready taken At the time the vote of ratification was taken, Chairman Borah of the forelgn relations committee and others of the group of irreconcilables oppos- ing the Court, gave notice that the issue was not vet decided. They since have made good their threat to carry their fight to the country in a far- flung campalgn in the newspapers and on the stump. When Senator Trammell introduces the resolution of withdrawal made public by him today it will go to Sena- tor Borah's committee, a majority of whose members are opposed to the court. Presumably, the first test of strength would come on the floor itself should attempt be made to get the proposal up for action. Five Nations Have Ratifled. far only five small nations agreed to the Senate reserva- ind more than a score of others who 'have membership in the court, including all the great powers, are withholding a decision pending the outcome of the conference to be held at Gene resolution Senator Trammell advisable to cation, since “the powers signatory to the protocol have not indicated their acceptance of . the reservations and understandings” upon iwhich ratifica- tion was based. The resolution would direct the President to “withdraw all notes and communications” addressed to the na- tions holding membership in the court. This would cancel the circular note sent out by the State Department set- ting forth the conditions of American adherence. and would leave the United States just where it was before Ameri- can membership was first proposed. ROOSEVELT HITS COURT. Attacks Cloture in Senate to Vote on Tsue. FORT WAYNE, Ind. August 28 (P).—Although the American people six vears ago voted 7,00,000 strong against the League of Natons, that lesson has been forgotten by Ameri- ca’s public servants, Col. Theodore TRoosevelt asserted in an address here tonight. Defeated at one point, league pro- ponents shifted their —attack, the speaker declared, and decided that if they could not “bring us directly into the league, they would bring us in- directly into it. They accordingly proposed that we join the league court.” Sedatives, he said, were adminis- tered in the shape of statements con- cerning humanity and assurances as to the non-identity of the court with the league. “Realizing that even these meas- ures would be ineffective if the situa- tlon were explained, the proponents of the court decided it must be bulled the colonel continued. “The SummerHeat Depresses Vitality SCOTTS EMULSION Richin Cod-liver Oil Vitamins Builds Strength Scett & , Bloosleld, .

GENEVA, August 28.—The trouble- some problem of how to treat com- mércial aviation in any convention | bearing on the reduction of arma- ments was settled finally today by the | members of the preliminary disarma- ment conference, in a manner to satisfy the United States, Argentina and other countries of the Western Hemisphere and for the first time in weeks unanimity was reached on a question of first importance. | The solution provides that while commercial aviation should be per- mitted to develop freely and unre- | strictedly to the maximum commer- clal requirements of each country, jts military value should be taken ! into account in framing any conven- tion for the limitation of armaments, ! but that in so doing, particular at- tention should be paid to the regional aspect of the probiem. This embodies the principle for | which the Americans have fought | since the beginning of the conference, namely, that reduction of armaments | is cssentially a regional p:olem and | best treated as such. Today's . decision strued. it is believed. as interfering with the development of commercial aviation in the United States, since | the American air service under no cir- ! cumstances could be considered as a | | menace to Europe, nor American air { forces a menace to the Western Hem- isphere. | Should the principle be appited at the future disurmament conference, it will be for European countries to de- cide how far continental commercial aviation should be restricted. The delegates also voted that in fix- | ing methods for reducing land forces a distinction should be made between < having conseription and those | essing standing armis | annot be con- | country was saved from the league < years ago because the Senate re- fused to adopt cloture and submitted | the question of our entrance to the vote of the people.
