When You Whip Cream Every woman who has ever made a whipped cream dessert knows that there are times when the cream simply will not stiffen, no matter how strenuously it is whipped. The trouble may be that the cream is too thin or too warm. Place it against the ice in your refrig- erator and let it become thoroughly cold. Then add the beaten. well-chilled white of an egg and you can whip it easily, Keep. your refrigerator two-thirds full of pure, sparkling American Ice and you will always be ready for cooking emergencies.

One picture does not make a star, as | Fudy soon learned, even while Holly- wood was still raving about “The Four Horsemen.” The picture was a great | success, but Rudy was not yet made. If he thought that now his lean days were over and he could dictate terms, he suffered a rude awakening. About this time Rex Ingram started preparations for a new picture, “The Conquering Power,” adapted by June Mathis from Balzac's “Eugenie Gran- det,” and Rudy was asked to play the lead opposite Alice Terry. He was de- lighted and, in view of the wide recog- nition of his work in “The Four Horse- men,” he asked for a $50 raise—only to be kicked out of the studio. But Rudy, impractical young man that he was, never bothered about sal- ary if a role appealed to him; at least, ! not until he found himself strapped and out of funds. Of course this was a chronic condition, so he was used to it. A little business acumen would have made things so much easier, but he| didn't have any business acumen. So he was always in trouble. ‘The upshot of it was he took the job at his same old salary. When he started studying the script he became so ab- sorbed in his new characterization he forgot all about his debts. Unfortu- nately, I couldn’t. Many amusing incidents happened dur- ing the filming of this picture. I was not on the lot myself, but I heard all | about them at luncheon or dinner, for Rudy continued to take most of his meals at my bungalow near the studio One evening he stamped in in fury, eyes flashing, trembling with rage. Rex had insulted him! What should he do? Challenge him to a duel? In anger his| thoughts always flew to a duel: his Italian ancestry cropped out with the force of a dozen Bo: ; it was the only way to settle a quarrel. Grown Children Quarrel. jut, Rudy, how did Rex insult you?” I asked when I could get In a word. At last the story came out. Rudy had been dressed in evening clothes for the midnight entertainment scene (he loved to wear his full dress clothes; he was so proud of them) when, Jjust as they were about to start shooting, Rex suddenly stopped the camera and | bawled Rudy out before all the ‘extras. He was wearing a white vest when it | should have been a black one, or v!ceA versa, I have forgotten. Anyway, it was not correct—Rudy, the model of the well dressed man whose effects, were always impeccable! Words flew. Rudy should know better, Rex de- clared, whereupon Rudy asked Rex what he knew about clothes—a trench coat was all he ever wore. More words, loud and angry. The question Wwas finally decided by calling in Frank Eliott, an English actor, ac- knowledged to be the last word in gen- tlemen’s attire. Mr. Elliott, to Rudy’s de- |1.m pronounced him perfectly turned But this was not all. From that mo- ment on Rex ignored his leading man completely. During the most important close-ups Rex sat cleaning his finger- nails with a penknife. How could an artist act under such conditions? The matter called for a duel. A few weeks later the Metro Co. gave an official dinner, to which Rudy ted, being he dispatched his assistant for the very outfit he had made such a fuss about. Rudy gave it without hesitation and VWill Rogers Says: BEVERLY HILLS, April 16.—“The Daughters of one of our early and most exclusive revolutions” are in a huddle in Washington. Membership THE EVENING NATACHA RAMBOVA, HIS WIFE N Valentino and Alice Terry in “The | Fnllr Ilm’umen ; couldn’t understand why I laughed. After all, the whole thing was quite natural. As I look back now I realize both men were little more than mere children, each with a great deal of talent—as well as newly acquired suc- cess. There were many such squabbles. Motors More Than Love. Now Rudy, at the time I am writing of, was without an automobile, a tact that to him was a tragedy. Motors were a fetish with him, more essential to his happiness than women. Women existed only in his romantic imagina- tion, but a motor was something tan- gible; he could “race” the engine and take 'it apart. However, a recent ca- lamity had deprived him of his car. This is how it happenei: With his first picture contract in his pocket and hopes of money to come, his thoughts flew at once to an auto- mobile. How he had longed for one of his own and now at last he would have it! No time was wasted in indecision. His mind was fully made up. Nothing {but a racing Mercer would seiisiy his expensive tastes. Arrangements were at last com- pleted. He bought it on the install- ant plan of so many dollars down per week, and in the joy of actual posses- sion he was in ecstasy. But after some- thing over $1,000 had been paid down, his contract, ltke all good things, came to an end, and with it his payments on the car. He went from studio to studio searching for work, but no producer was interested. Meanwhile, he dodged the dealer as long as possible. But the dealer knew picture peonle and took pains to seek out Rudy, w! now was forced to acknowledge he had not a dime in the world. Immediately the hard-hearted Shylock separated Rudy from his car and the initial pay- ments were confiscated. “But, Rudy, how dreadful!” I cried when he told me this story. “Surely you could have done something to a o‘;d losing the money you had already ‘Well, T did he best I could, didn't I?” he replied with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders. This was always his answer. none, he promptly appropriated mine; therefore, I walked back and forth to 'in_disgust, | only thing tc do was to exchange the STAR, WASHINGTON, The Truth About Rudolph Valentino Poverty-Stricken Days Prove Happy for Two Unknowns. e IR, the studio while he took the engine apart in the back yard or tried out its speed on the hills around Hollywood. He didn't mean to be selfish, but with a motor in his hands he was ob- livious to everything else. It was a little Buick runabout, which I had fitted out with mirrors, spotlights, cmneem and such extras and I thought uite & beauty. ut Rudy wasn't satisfied with it You see, it wouldn't speed. As he said “It had no pick-up.” The Buick for a car that would go! He knew I couldn’t be satisfied wi a car that took the California hills at only 50 miles an hour. The result was a perusal of second-hand shops and “sale and exchange” advertisements, while every prop boy was warned to look out for a car with a pick-up. Rudy was nothing if not thorough. One day during luncheon he phoned me he would be along in a jiffy, bring- ing a wonderful surprise; I must wait, at home for him. His arrival was an- nounced by a series of raucous honks from the yard, and I flew to the door expecting to see the smart little sports car he had so often described. There sat Rudy, face wreathed in smiles, in a 1914 model roadster on stilts, bearing faint traces of dingy blue paint, remi- niscent of a bygone youth. He must have read disappointment in my face, for at onge he began to as- sure me the test of & good car was all in the engine, and this one was beyond comparison. ~(Later I learned to my sorrow this was indeed correct.) He had tried out the pick-up on the hills and it was marvelous; at 70 it hadn’t even a cough, and the cut-out—well, I must hear it! The outside of the car— a mere detail—could be made like new in a week. I must hop right in and try it with him. Rolls-Royce of Wreck. Never was there such a salesman as Rudy! With his childish enthusiasm he could make me see things that ex- isted only in his fertile imagination. Before we came back from that ride I was convinced we had something better than a Rolls-Royce. It ended with Rudy exchanging the new Bulck for the old Cadillac, with $400 he good, with which sum, he usured me, we would soon have a car like new. Since “The Conquering Power” was finished, he could give all his time to his new toy, and how he worked to transform the battered wreck into a handsome sports model. He fitted strong “spots” on either side of the windshield, a cigaret lighter on the driviny board, and polished the nickel trimm’ags until they dazaled the eye. After a coat of good black paint—egg- shell finish—it did not look so bad. Then our troubles began. It would suddenly stop halfway up a steep hill, which, he insisted, might happen to any powerful motor. (There was al- :&y: a _good reason for everything it gas faster than we could pay for it, for by then both of us were broke.

Hunt Held Hazards. ‘When our appetites exceeded the ice~ box supply, we would resort to an early morning hunt on the old Robertson Cole ranch. These rides through the dawn fog were a delight as well as I necessity, for there was a poaching. It was out of the hunthl[ season, and the chance of a possible arrest lent an added charm. Once past Santa Monica the houses grew scarcer. Then we turned down the country roads, where we stopped to prepare for action; brought the gun out of hiding, strapped on the cartridge belt, and let down the hood of the car where Rudy sat, legs dangling over the side, while I drove. When we passed a quail or a dove, I slowed down the car | to a crawl, while Rudy took a pop at the game. If we stopped altogether, the bird flew away; if we slowed down, it paid no attention. Since Rudy was a good shot and game plentiful, we soon eight birds, the limit of our kill. Then we changed tactics and started for rabbits, which necessitated different maneuvers. We hid the car in the bushes, concealed the birds in the grass out of sight of any zealous game warden, then wih guns under our arms set off across fields and down ravines. Rabbits also were plentiful, for few people came this way; the ranch was seldom used ‘even for “locations,” yet though our limit for rabbits was four, sometimes we had to leave before this when it grew too light for comfort. We had several narrow escapes. One morning we had just hidden the car for our rabbit hunt when a man emerged from the trees across a near- by field and walked rapidly toward the road. We rushed for the car, hurled guns, birds and cartridges into the rear baggage compartment and drove furi- ously down the road.

To avold meeting the stranger we had driven away from Hollywood; to home we must return the same road. We waited until it nemed safe. As we approached the danger zone we man was still there, but now or turn around would only icion. We must go right on. Would he stop us? He did. We slowed down the car, hearts in our mouths wondering who would bail us "Dldy pass any one on the road with a gun?” he asked. “I heard shots.” Rudy found his voice first. Yes, we passed a_man, quite a long way back—but he hadn't noticed a gun; yet on second thought, maybe the man did have one. He turned to me; noticed? Not daring to trust my voice I gave an unconcerned shrug. The man muttered “Thanks” and moved on. Needless to say, we did, too, fast and furiously. For some time after this we decided we were rather tired of game. Our hunts were temporarily abandoned. How often in later years we looked back with regret on those happy days! We were both poor, unknown to the world and glorying in our freedom. Days of laughter, days of dreams, of ambitious plans for the future. For myself, I know they were the happlest days I shall ever experience in this life. (Copyrieht. 1830, in the Dnited States and Toreign countries, by National Rambova.
