30 Mar – Sheik Spurs Wedding Ceremony offer in Louisiana

Rudolph Valentino and his dancing partner during the Mineralava Tour kindly spurred an offer of Louisiana officials to marry there. The Sheik and his dancing partner left New Orleans for Montgomery, Alabama ignoring the elaborate wedding plans prepared for them by interested parties. Dominick Tortorich, who stage-managed their appearance here at the concert hall last night was said to have arranged for a clergyman and witnesses. Attorney General Coco informed promoters of the project that if the marriage was performed it would be “legal beyond doubt”. But the Sheik and his soon to be again wife sped out of town in their specially appointed Pullman Car and matrimonial plight still unresolved.
