The. crowds are an unpleasant mem- ory. In England we had to fight for our lives. To be the wife of a famous man is not all that it is supposed to be byl'.hen who have only dreamed of that Tole. As for the dogs—they were great fun. We bought three darling Pekes in Lon- don, six more in Nice, a Dobermann Pinscher in Paris—not to mention the coterie of police dogs, wolfhounds, bull pups and Great Danes presented to Rudy along our route by ardent ad-] mirers who knew his weakness for the canine species. On our journey home it was as though we were traveling with & menagerie. But to start at the beginning: We led from New York on the Aquitania in August, 1023. The E“. sage over was uneventful. We kept largely to ourselves, taking most of our meals in our private suite. The only passengers, with whom we mingled were Mr. and Mrs, George Arliss, with whom we became excellent friends. Chaperoned Honeymoon. Auntie traveled with us. We were both so fond of her we wanted her, even though, with our marriage legal- ized, we no longer required her as chap- eron. She left the ship at Cherbourg, while Rudy and I went on to Plymouth. Here we fought our way to the London train through mobs that battled for a glimpse of Rudy and at London through worse mobs to the Ritz Hotel Here, to our amazement, the man- agement refused us rooms. Just a few ‘weeks earlier Charlie Chaplin had stop- ped at the Ritz and, in the publicity that attended his sojourn, every win- dow in the front of the hotel had been smashed and the entire lobby demol- ished. The manager meant us no of- fense, as he politely explained, but he wanted no more screen stars. So we went to the Carlton, where for three .days we were literally im- prisoned by reporters and photogra- gshfl'l. Every journal in the British les, from the London times to an obscure Irish weekly, sent a represent- ative to interview Rudy. Forty-five called the first day, 500 the second and 60 the third. They lined up in the hall outside our rooms and made it impos- sible to escape. ‘Each one in turn asked this question: “What do you think of London?" Finally we sai you don't let us out, we'll never be able to answer that question. We haven't glimpsed the streets of London except from the hotel windows.” So the fourth day we dodged them and went sightseeing. Loved London’s Age. Rudy loved London because it was 50 old. He was wild about history; not modern history—he had no inter- :;t ll:“t.h"ll;..\nlt he fl’uslu ‘wore m:l:t‘.l“ vest every old ivy-grown e and tower significant of .the days from the Crusader King Richard to the Vir- gin Queen Bess. This was the era he loved. Had he lived in those days he would greater man ‘than’ he haps, who could ride valiantly to tle and fight duels for Queen Guine- vere or ine. Thus he would have satisfied his romantic imagination. As 1t was, he had to satisfy it playing roles on the my parents, in London we became the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Guiness in their home on Great Cum- berland place.

It all depends upon your shoe house—and the salesman. But, in case of serious foot heard of each other until they met under the Guiness roof. They moved in worlds that were far apart. What did Rudy know of this great English- man who had risen from the obscurity of the Liverpool docks to become a distinguished barrister of the realm and later lord chancellor of Great Britain? And what did Lord Birkenhead know or care of the motion picture industry? So, by way of polite conversation, Lord Birkenhead said to Rudy: “Is this your first trip to London, Mr. Valentino?” Rudy courteously gave the answer the London headlines had been shrieking for two weeks, then asked with equal innocence: “Have you ever been in America, Lord Birkenhead?"” Lord B. had just returned from one of his many trips to the United States, where his speeches had caused a sen- sation in diplomatic circles, but what were diplomatic circles to Rudy? Or screen fame to Lord Birkenhead? The rest of us politely stifled our smiles. Rudy admired Lord Birkenhead great- ly when he learned he was a great sportsman with kennels and a famous string of racing horses all over Europe and Lord Birkenhead admired Rudy be- cause he was a wonderful athlete. From London we made a beautiful motor trip through the English coun- tryside to Windsor and Warwick Cas- tles—all the places Rudy had dreamed of. ‘We ‘drove along the hedge-lined roads of Surrey to a place of famous kennels: ‘bouncing with Pekes and bought three woolly babies, one of which I still have. Of course, Rudy spent hours with London tailors, hat- ters, bootmakers, shirtmakers, to his sartorial heart’s desire. I had my in- nings later in Paris. We flew to Paris from Croyden after three /delightful weeks in England. I enjoyed the flight thoroughly, but Rudy ‘was desperately air-sick and in the fu- ture was content to stay on the ground.

Rudy spent most of his time choosing the style and materials for his specially built Voisin racer, with its engine geared to 90 miles an hour. Because the car couldn’t be ready for several months, the Voisin people loaned us a sport car to use in the interim, in which we motored to the Riviera. Unfortunately for me, the roads were in perfect condition, so Rudy could test the speed of the motor. What matter if both of us were killed while he was engaged in this blissful experiment? Every car on the road ahead of us was an invitation to race past it—and we did! Rudy was a clever driver, but what a reckless one!

I like to choose my own time for bath- ing. Spirit Saves Lives. The climax came as we rounded one curve at break-neck speed—apparent nothingness stretched before us. To our horror we saw it was a double curve, a sharp hairpin turn, which no human skill could make. Rudy wrenched at the wheel and stood on the brakes, while death blew its cold breath in our faces. Then miraculously the car bumped to a standstill, one back wheel hanging over the edge of a yawning precipice. I looked at Rudy. He was trembling | and deathly white. In a small shaky voice he whispered: H “Did you see Black Feather?” i Being speechless, 1 could only shake | my head. “I saw him lean over and give the wheel the final wrench that saved us,” sald Rudy. “I never could have done it alone.” “Without a guardian angel you'd have killed us both long ago,” 1 said when I recovered my voice. ' I wanted to have hysterics, if anly to teach Rudy a lesson, but he was so thaken by our narrow escape I merely wilted into_silence. At 10 o'clock that night, exhausted, starved, dirty beyond recognition, we reached Juan les Pins and the Hudnut chateau, where we fell into the wait- ing arms of dear Uncle Dickie, mother and auntie. This is a beautiful place which Mr. Hudnut bought years ago from a Russian count who had lost | all his money at Monte Carlo. During the war it was loaned to the govern- | ment as an American hospital. Later | he and mother redecorated it to use as their permanent home. Affronted in Homeland. Rudy was enchanted with it and dur- ing our visit was indefatigable. Long before I wakened next morning he was out exploring the grounds. By the time | 1 was dressed for breakfast he had dis- covered the ideal place for a 200, a kennel for his dogs, a boat house and | an outdoor cinema. As soon as he had made “all that money” we would live here and he would build them all. But Rudy was ever a restless soul. Before 10 days had passed he decided we must push on to Italy. It was his first visit home in 10 years and he could not wait any longer. Our entrance to Italy was not auspi- cious. At Ventimille, the frontier, we were stopped and ordered to show our passports and pass the customs, But the customs had just gone to lunch; the demands of digestion and noonday slesta required a two-hour lunch period. Meanwhile, we waited in the broiling sun. When they finally appeared Rudy was forced to pay an outrageous tax on arsh liquids or plas- id burn. Dr. Scholl’s Dr Scholls They support the arch. They keep 36 Rudy yelled back at him in the same language made me fear a duel. Talked With Dead Mother. As Rudy flung himself angrily into the car he explained to auntle and me that this man had suggested that, after marrying an American heiress, he could well afford to give a few of his dollars to his own country. Because auntie and I laughed heartily Rudy wouldn't speak to us for an hour. The idea of insinuating he would marry for money! Wasn't I as poor as he was? This dampened his original ardor at be- ing back home again. When, late at night, Genoa, our first stopping place, ex- hausted as he was from the long drive, Rudy got out pencil and paper to com ‘we reached Cry ] Ch for it Children hate to take medicine as a rule, but every child loves the taste of Castoria.

His clearest memory of this parent was when he called his sons to his deathbed, saying: “My boys, love your mother and, above all, love your country. Madre et Italia!” 3 ta (Gt 20, e u bova.
