By the Associated Press. A determined campaign to obtain congressional approval for his un- employment legislation is planned by | Senator Wagner, Democrat, New York. | He is confident of speedy passage by | the Senate when his measures are | taken up, probably late today or to- morrow, and then he intends to go direct to the leaders of the House and urge that they be expedited there. For this appeal, he said today, he is counting heavily upon his assertions that the measures carry out the un- employment principles President Hoover. Senator Wagner has prepared three calendar for consideration as soon as action is taken on the George immigra- tion measure. These two would expend the present machinery for collecting employment statistics and set up an employment stabilization board for long- time planning of public works to offset depression periods. The third bill would create a Federal employment system to co-operate with State agencies. He hopes to obtain con- sideration for this measure together with the others, although objection has been raised to this procedure. “I will present the three bills as a complete plan,” he said, “urging passage of the full program. Should I fail to get unanimous consent for the consid- eration of the third measure, I will move consideration, expecting a favor- able majority vote.” PLANS “LONE EAGLE” HOP CALIFORNIA TO PARIS Aviator Hutchinson Announces Plans for Flight Via Richmond and New York. By the Associated Prees. RICHMOND, Va., April 15.—George P. Hutchinson of Baltimore and for- merly of Richmond last night an- nounced plans for a “lone cagle” flight from California to Paris via Richmond and New York under sponsorship of a group of Richmond business men. Hutchinson said the proposed flight would be made next June. His hop from California to Richmond will be non-stop, he said, to be followed im- mediately by a hop to New York and then to Paris. The 24-year-old flyer hopes, he stated, to break Col. Lind- bergh's record of 33 hours. —_— Money Lenders Routed.

A young singer, Aurelia Colomo, who possesses marked charm of personality and graceful stage assurance as well as a pretty voice of lyric soprano quality, Wardman Park Theater last night. Her audience was very enthusiastic. The vocal debutante is a native of Mexico and is mentioned on the program as a | coloratura soprano. Last night the pro- ! gram was definitely that of a young singer and did not include composi- tions of the difficult coloratura style. It is, therefore, impossible to judge at Lhés time as to her ability in the florid art. Senorita Colomo gave a group of at- tractive semi-popular songs by Forster, Romberg, Phillips and Victor Herbert as her opening selections. Her second group, of Latin American songs, showed her to possess good sense of intricate rhythms and balance of the voice part with more complicated piano part. Her one operatic air was “One Fine Day,” from Puccini’s “Madame Butterfly, sung in English with evident apprecia- tion of the dramatic values of the words of the song. The singer un- doubtedly has the real gift of singing. With the background "of experience and training, the singer should have a bright future before her. Eleanor Colborn, who accompanied the singer very capably, also played several solo selections acceptably, par- ticularly so as the instrument she used was not of concert proportions. Miss Colborn showed good taste and tech- nique. 5 Y 39| eral selections very Sus La Perle, whistler, gave sev- e well. ~ Senorita 2| Colomo added further variety to her it hia, New York and Bosto!

C., TUESDAY, APRIL 1 The Truth About Rudolph Valentino . Actor Had Difficult Struggle Until Success in *Four Horsemen” Introduced Rudy At first I disliked Rudy. intensely. He was fresh and too much underfoot, al- ways leaping to give me a chair, to pick up my pencil, hand me my script book; I thought him a plain nuisance. I tired of his childish pranks and the Jokes, yet I couldn't avold him, for, as art director, I must always be on hand to make sure the scene was properly set and all details correct. It wasn't until I saw he could act that I took any interest in him. He was the easiest person the world to direct. ‘The director didn’t have to shout before the camera. “Now, Rudy, let's have some grief, please,” or “give up a little joy; smile; no, not like a Cheshire cat; look human!” etc., etc. He merely described what was hap- pening in the scene and Rudy inter- preted it. I remember particularly one scene in '“Camille,” the high point of the picture. It is where Armand, grief-stricken by Camille’s death, rushes to her apart- ment, where an auction is being held of all her private things. Here he sees and bids on a book he had given her years ago and which she kept until the last. ‘Before doing this scene Rudy asked 1f he might go away by himself for a mo- ment; then he returned and the camera started clicking. It wasn't interrupted once. When the scene was finished tears were streaming down the face of every one of us, from director to prop boy. As for Rudy, later, I found him in a chair behind the set, head buried in his arms, weeping like a child. This wasn't make- believe grief, but real emotion. Became Gardener’s Apprentice. I often found him weeping like this for his mother, of whom he was pas. sionately fond; or in despondent moods on days when everything had gone wrong. Being a foreigner and unknown, his path was none too easy. Everything about him that was different was held up to ridicule, from his foreign accent to his lack of sense of humor. People didn’t understand his ways and made no_effort to. He was pathetically eager to be like American _men—but it wasn't in him to be so. His ideal was Norman Kerry, who had proved himself a wonderful friend. It was through Norman he had got into pictures, after years of futile attempts to earn a living in America any way he could, from pulling weeds in Central Park to dancing In cabarets. Rudy had landed New York Christmas day, 1913, a lad of 18, who knew not one word of English, his head full of romantic dreams, his pocket bulging with $4,000, the gift of his be- loved mother. He squandered his nest egg immediately on fine clothes and lavish living—then whistled for food and shelter from a chilly bench in the park. He had been trained to be a scientific farmer at the Royal Academy of Agri- culture in Milan and his first job was to help lay out an Italian garden on the Long Island estate of Cornelius Bliss, jr., but he was given his walk- ing papers when he borrowed the motor cycle of a fellow workman and broke it. Kerry Rudy’s Friend. After lean days had sobered his spirits he became gardener’s apprentice in Central Park, only to be told, when he applied for the civil service exami- nation, that he was not an American citizen—would not be one for five years! Back to the streets and starvation! But Rudy always landed on his feet. On the gala occasion of one elegant slinner at Maxim’s, in a borrowed dress suit, the head waiter recognized him as the handsome young foreigner who, months before, in the palmy days of the $4,000, had danced so well with the ladies. This led to & job as exhibition dancer in fashionable New York restau- rants, with Bonnie Glass as his part- ner; then a vaudeville tour with Joan Sawyer, in which they danced across the continent. In San Francisco Rudy gave up dancing to sell bonds. Of course, he couldn't do it and was res- cued once more from starvation by Norman Kerry, who helped him get to Hollywood. Couldn’t Be Good Fellow. Now Norman, as every one knows, the most likeable fellow in the world, with a marvelous sense of humor and an endless fund of good stories. Every SPANISH REPUBLIC MOVEMENT GROWS Former Minister Invites Others to Abandon Monarchy and Espouse Republican Cause. By Cable to The Star. MADRID, April 15 (C.P.A)—Dis- satisfied subjects of Spain have just taken a further step toward a republic. Former Minister Alcala Zamora, leader of the Democratic group in the dis- solved Parliament, in addressing a lary and wildly enthusiastic meeting Valencia, proclaimed his faith in a re- public and invited other former min- isters to follow his example, abandon the monarchy and espouse the republi- can cause. This adds & new and grave menace for the crown, since Zamora spoke not only in his own behalf, but also voiced the opinion of the Constitutionalist coa- lition, which includes Conservative and Liberal ex-ministers, thus insuring the formation of a moderate republican wing, indispensable for a change in T e. Zamora said that the coming general elections must not be brutally sincere, as the famous lawyer Ossorio said, but tal. hosrely ‘m:eonm-nz' 1930.)

Nazimova introduced Valentino to her with the observation: “June Mathis says he can act.” one likes Norman, from the bank presi- dent to the prop boy, but when, in an effort to be popular, Rudy tried to emu- late his friend, he only made himself ridiculous. When he told a joke he al- ways forgot the point. When he slapped a fellow on the back he antagonized instead of attracting, until he became the target of the unkind jokes of the glc'.ure colony. Being sensitive, this urt him terribly, but what did Holly- wood care He was a “Wop” and be- neath their notice. Later, after his success, the very peo- ple who looked down on him were the first to lick his boots and heap atten- tions and flattery on him. Rudy and I often laughed about this. I spent most of the last two years of our marriage trying to get rid of sycophants and hangers-on. Rudy never forgot a kindness done him those days when he needed it most. To Pauline Frederick and her mother, who had championed him in his loneli- ness, he carried a debt of gratitude and love to the very end. He often spoke to me about them, always with a catch in his_voice. There were others who traded on this quality in him as a future means of support. These people took pains to re- mind him that when he was poor and unknown they had loaned him $25— which meant the return of a thousand. Rudy always gave them the money—if he had it—for he was fudamentally generous. Russian From Salt Lake. When I first met Rudy, I was as unpopular in Hollywood as he was. The only difference was, I didn't care. What was public opinion to me? I was known as cold and unapproachable and many thought that I, too, was a foreigner. This was not true, but Hollywood always draws its own conclusions. I was born Winifred Shaughnessey in Salt Lake City, but I had been educated abroad from the age of 8 until I was 18. Then I came home and, to the fury of my family, joined a Russian ballet company, with which I toured the country for three years, dancing. I was the only American in the company and my own name would have stood out on the pro- gram like a sore thumb. So I became Natacha Rambova. During the Summer layoff in Cali- fornia, I became art director for Metro, attached to Mme. Nazimova's unit. My nllme. :ndkt.h:l mmdme ngl I always spoke ther, gave rise to the bellef that I was Russian. After Rudy became our leading man, Nagimova, he and I always spoke French the studio. His French was as fluent as his Italian, for his mother was a French woman, the daughter of a Paris surgeon. She had left her native land to marry the lian cavalry officer, father. Later he left the cavalry to be veterinary surgeon in the little village near Tarento, where Rudy first saw the Names in Lawsuit Are Tongue-Twisters, All Starting With ‘K’ By the Associated Press.

CENSORS IN AUSTRALIA light of day in May, 1895. Rudy him- self was sent to France as a youth, be- fore he came to America, when his family despaired of keeping him out of mischief at home. Throwback to Saracens. Rudy had a cultural background that wasn't apparent on the surface. On certain subjects he was surprisingly well read. He had a passion for history and historical novels, particularly those that dealt with medieval times, in which he could live' the adventures of the characters. “Le Cid” was one of his heroes; he adored Sabatini's books, and anything that dealt with Moorish his- tory fascinated him. That is why he loved the role of the sheik. The particular thing that in. trigued him was the sheik’s snorting Arab horse with its silver trappings, the rich costumes and settings, the whole Oriental atmosphere of the picture. Rudy was really a “throwback” to the Saracens, the pirate tribe of the Mediterranean, who pillaged the sea- coast towns. Somewhere at the root of his family tree may have been a Saracen ancestor. At least, Tarento, his birthplace, near the heel of Italy, had been drenched for centuries by Saracen, Since Rudy and I had both grown up in Europe, speaking French and Italian, we soon found common ground for mutual friendship and understand- ing. We often talked of our life abroad, making happy plans to return, though at that time we did not dream we would really revisit those places together. Liked Italian Dinners. When work at the studio was over, Rudy often came home with me to my gay bungalow on Sunset boulevard, which boasted bed room, bath, living room and kitchenette, to prepare him- self what he called “a real Italian din- ner.” Before the elaborate preparations were finished, it was often nearer mid- night than the dinner hour, but what we lost in time we made up in fx:od fun and sharp appetites. Sometimes June Mathis and her mother honored us at these feasts. Soon after “Camille” was finished came the Los Angeles 'ning of “The Four Horsemen.” The film had already been released in New York, and June Mathis had wired Rudy of its astound- ing ovation, but it seemed too far away to be true. After so many years of hard- ship and struggles the long-dreamed-of success seemed still a mirage. Now both of us held our breath, waiting for the momentous evening of the Western debut of the picture. When that evening came every star in the Hollywood firmament gathered at the theater, an impressive audience, yet many, I knew, had come to scoff and say, “I told you so!” The picture colony was skeptical. The fllm had been made at unheard-of expense by a new, almost unknown director. With a woman at the head of it and an un- known actor in the lead, what could one expect of it It would be the ruina- tion of the Metro Co. Silent After Opening. During the running of the film not a sound could be heard in the theater, except here and there a stifled sob as the story unfolded. About the middle of the Plcture Rudy reached out and took hold of my hand, which he held tightly in his own until the end. I knew he wanted to feel that there was just some one who cared and under- stood. We were both weeping from mingled emotions—joy at success, which was now assured, and sorrow for the tragedy of the story. It was finished. A moment of hushed silence was followed by a thunder of applause. Rudy was almost swept off his feet by the crowd, who thronged to congratulate him, many of whom he did not know. It was spontaneous ap- preciation of a thing well done. But his one alm was to reach the door. He wanted to be alone. I under- stood. During the ride to my bunga- low I don't think a word was spoken— Jjust a brief “Good night"—and he left me for his own bleak little apartment.

IEFFERSON HELD GLOROUS RADCAL Brass Plate Tells London Old Bailey Has Another Name World’s Most Famous President of Virginia U., injCriminal Court Officially Radio Address, Extols Early- Day Statesman. ‘Thomas Jefferson was portrayed as “a glorious, intelligent radical” by Dr. Ed- win A. Alderman, president of the Uni- versity of Virginia, last night in a radio ad delivered in conjunction with the Nation-wide birthday anniversary celebration of the author of the Decla- ration of Independence. “Jefferson, in my judgment, was the first great intelligent radical to appear in the political history of this coun- try,” said Dr. Alderman. “Some peo- ple do not like the.word ‘radical’ for it is associated in a menacing way in many minds. But the word is a vigorous word, and means getting at the foot of things. Jefferson was an intel- ligent radical and no other sort of radi- cal ought to be allowed to exist. “They talk about radicals in Wash- ington and elsewhere.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, April 15.—The world's most famous criminal court, “Old Bailey,” is so unknown to Londoners that a name plate has been placed on the side of the main entrance of the ding. In shiny brass it announces that the bullding is the “Central Crim- inal Court of London.” ‘The difficulty arose when citizens in- sisted upon using the old designation of “Old Bailey,” although the name was | officially changed by an act of Parlia- ment. Centuries ago the building was known as “the Justice Hall in the Old Bailey,” later as “the Sessions House, Old Bailey” and finally to the shortened “Old Bailey.” “Old Bailey” is the name of the short little street in the heart of the city where the court is located. ‘When the present building was open- ed In 1907, it became officially the Cen- tral Criminal Court, but the public chose to call it “the New Old Bailey.” When the building aged a bit, ane wasn't so new, the title “Old Bailey” came back into use.
