The company, knowing that Rudy was en- joined from appearing on any stage or screen for an almost indefinite { period, made us a handsome offer, { which proved that he was a gentleman jand a sportsman. Rudy and I were t | tour the country from Maine to Texas | dancing together—not in_any theater. ! vaudeville or amusement house, as the |letter of the injunction forbade us, but in stadiums, armories and publihs halls And not on the stage, but on the floor, which humble space was not denied us Iby the rigorous injunction that bound us. . Our contract for this engagement though strenuous, stands out in my memory as @ lark rather than a hardship. Incidentally, it had been predicted in our automatic writing. Rode in Royal Car. ‘We toured the country in & private | car and, as though to inflate our egos and restore our self-confidence and | respect after the humiliating litiga- tions, were given the same car in which King Albert and Queen Eliza- | beth of Belgium had traveled while in | the United States. | It had no berths, but real beds, | private bath rooms with ~showers. | dressing tables, a kitchen and, best of ! all, a wonderful colored chef who fed |us so well we almost lost our figures. We simply couldn't resist the delicacies Sam prepared for us. | To satisfy Mother Grundy and com- ply with the demand for separate resi- dences until we could be legally mar- ried, Auntie went with us on this trip; also Chuckie, the Pekingese pup And we carried our own musicians. Auntie was the world’s best sight- seer and how she loved this Nation- wide jaunt! Upon arrival in a city or town our car, of course, was side- tracked some place out in the rail- road yards and, whether it was gra dawning or high noon, auntie woul immediately hop off for a complete tour of the environs. Of course, wherever we stopped each concern in the town vied with each other to fur- nish Rudy with a magnificent motor car for the sake of the advertising it gave them. So we felt exactly like royalty. Publicity Lured Mobs. ‘The publicity that attended Rudy's appearance was overwhelming and a | great nuisance. With each perform- ance a special cordon of police escorted | us, from the entrance to the build- ing to the small raised platform in the center of the hall where we danced. The crowds would so stam- pede us, in spite of this, that they often hurled the policemen forward until we were all jammed together in a hopeless melee, women snatching the while at the buttons on Rudy’s coat. They tore them off faster than auntie couid séw them on. They tore off bits of his sash and utterly mangled the flowers in my hair. In the wild fray we arrived on the plat- form physical wrecks—and looked it. To deceive the mobs, we would estab- lish policemen at one entrance as & | blind, and then sneak in some back | doorway ourselves. In New Haven we | made our entrance through a back basement window. I was politely lifted down by some stalwart guard; Rudy leaped agilely in by himself—and im- mediately after him some intrepid girl reporter flung herself through the same window. To save her from breaking her neck (which I thought she de- served) Rudy turned around suddenly to catch her—and in the quick gesture wrenched his back and had to be treated for weeks. Chicago Most Excited. Annoyance reached its peak in Chi- | cago, where we danced at a huge hall on the South Side. Here so many Easter Nite THE -EVENING president of the Mineralava ‘women hurled rings and pins, ‘klaces and other baubles at Rudy that, at the close of the performance, he ordered it announced from the stage that any of the audience who wished to recover their jewelry would have it returned to them at the box office. Wherever we went the mash notes were swept up and burned—by the barreliul. Rudy hated all this as much as I did. Our Chicago engagement was in March, 1923, and March 4 marked the close of the official year since the inter- locutory decree of Rudy's divorce from Jean Acker was handed down. For weeks we had been in communication with Mr. Gilbert, our lawyer on the coast, as to how the divorce was pro- ceeding. Had it been made legal yet? Couldn’t we now be remarried and get this nonsense over? But each time we hopefully planned the ceremony Mr. Gilbert would report that some new delay had interfered and wire us. “Papers not yet signed.” Finally, one morning we received a wire from our lawyer with the glad news that the final papers were signed. We greeted this news with cheers! But it seemed we still were children of calamity, To our amazement we discovered that by the laws of Illinois no marariage could be legalized until one year from the date, not of the interlocutory, but of the final decree of divorce.

In California there was no law like this. What a nuisance these different laws were! Though we were dead sick of lawyers, once again we sought legal advice. Wed in Crown Point. Happlly, Michael Romano, assistant district attorney and a close friend of Rudy’s gave us the key to solution of the problem. 1In Crown Point, Ind., Chicago’s Gretna Green, this trouble- some law could be evaded.

A few weeks later we were back In New York, our dancing tour was fin- ished; our jinx, it seemed, broken. Luck for the moment played into our hands. J. D. Williams, motion picture pro- ducer, offered Rudy a provisional con- tract for two pictures, this contract to take effect when Rudy was released from the Famous Players injunction. For signing this contract he paid Rudy $25,000 cash, All these felicitous developments had been predicted throughout automatic writing. In proof of this I quote @& passege from George Ullman's book, “Valentino as I Knew Him.” Mr, Ull- man, it will be remembered, was Rudy's business manager the last three years of his life. We had met him on the Mineralava dancing tour, of which he happened to be manager, with us, and it was then that Rudy asked him to take care of his later affairs, Writes Mr. Ullman: “1 had observed that both Rudy and Natacha were interested in something supernatural. Just what it was I did not know. Later I discovered it was automatic writing and other forms of psychic communications. Before mak- ing any important moves they always | “Not knowing this, T was at first sur- prised at the quietude with which they would receive what appeared to me to be startling developments.

Foresaw All Changes. “Instead they would tell me in all calmness that they had expected this and knew it would come. For ex- ample, they both told me they had known in advance that they were go- ing on a cross-country dancing tour, that Rudy would change his lawyer and take on & new business manager. “When Valentino felt he knew me well enough to explain these things, he naturally wished me to share his interest in them. When I explained I ‘was open to copviction and listened, I discovered to my surprise that & num- ber of things predicted by this psychic force actually came to pass. “It was in San Antonio that Valen- tino, after some show of nervousness and many false starts, first broached to me the subject of taking over his affairs and becoming his business man- 1 refused. I had a family to support and Valentino was $50,000 in degl, His present salal on this dancing tour—$7,000 a week—he owed many times over. To make it worse, there was an injunction against him which prevented him from appearing on any screen or stage. Where, then, would my salary come from? “But, with sublime confidence in his guiding star, he waved all this aside, told me he would pull out of these difficulties and make plenty of money soon. I could not see it that way. I wanted to know where the money was coming from. Hence, when 10 weeks later, without any further assurance, I suddenly decided to take over man- agement of his business affairs, I looked for some expression of surprise at my volte face. Overcome Skepticism. “But both Rudy and Natacha smiled inscrutably, saying it had been pre- dicted before they embarked on this tour that they would change business managers and I would be the man. These things at first rather gave me the creeps, but later, because of the supreme confidence of the Valentinos in their psychic control, I became less skeptical and more confident.” ‘The $25,000 which J. D. Willlams had given Rudy for signing the pro- visory picture contract would not re- main in_his pocket. Cash always burned a hole there. He couldn’t bear to hold it, and what better way to spend it than to leave on our long- dreamed-of first trip to Europe to- gdethen We agreed this was a splendid idea. Hence, with our troubles for the moment ended, Rudy and I sailed away on the Aquitania in August, 1923, confident that litigation with Famous Players would be settled by the time we returned. foreisn (Copyriaht. 1930, In_U.

ILL HEALTH FORGES GOFF OUT OF RACE West Virginian Will Not Seek Re-election, but Pledges Support to G. 0. P. By the Associated Press. Obeying the warning of physicians, Senator Guy D. Goff, Republican, of West Virginia, announced last night he would not be a candidate for re- nomination in the August primaries. ‘The Senator has been ordered by phystcians to take an immediate rest. He suffered an attack of pneumonia & year ago and they insisted he had not regained his health. He will leave immediately for a rest trip.

Returning from France, where he served in the adjutant general's office with the American expeditionary forces, Mr. Goff took up his residence in West Virginia. He was appointed general counsel of the Shipping Board by President Wilson and an Assistanf At- torney General by President Harding. Senator Goff's announcement created some surprise here. Only his family was aware of his physical condition. He is the third Republican Senator to announce his retirement this year. Sen- ators Gould of Maine and Phipps of Colorado have refused to stand for re-election.
