23 May 1926 – How Valentino Celebrated His Birthday

Rudolph Valentino birthday was on Mother’s Day and a dinner at the home of Pola Negri celebrated his special day.  On being questioned as to what birthday it would be Rudy safely remarked he would be just one year older than he was last year, and it was not a matter to be laughed about. Pola has not yet left for that love test separation, her last reason being that the rate of exchange abroad or her health, or the health of her mother had suddenly determined the silent film actress to cancel her sailing arrangements a week ago. Rudy meanwhile is staying up nights reading stories to find one for his next picture.
