NEW YORK, Au e 23.—
.
(AP) Rudolph Valentino,
original ‘sheik' 'of the movies,
died today. His death occurred
at 12:10 o’clock, Eastern day
light time, at the Polyclinic
Hospital.
ILL EIGHT DAYS
The screen star had been in
the hospital for eight days and
although first reported in a
critical condition, improvement
had been shown during the lat
ter part of last week and it
was thought he had been safe
ly on the road to his recovery.
Last night, however, he suf
fered a relapse, due to pleuri
sy, which set in his left chest,
due to weakness following a
double operation for acute ap
pendicitis and gastric ulcers
and accompanying local
Death Follows Operation.
The cause o£ Valentino’s death
was given officially as sceptic en
docarditis, resulting from a dou
ble operation.
At the actors bedside when he
died were George S. Uuflman, his
manager, Father Edward L.
Leonard, rector of Chapel St. Ma
lachis, and Drs. Harrold D. Meek
er,, Paul E. Durham and Ral
dofph Manning his attending phy
sicians.
The last rites of the Catholic
Church had been administered at
10 o’clock by Father Joseph M.
Cangedo, of the Church of the
Sacred Heart, Jesus and Mary,
who is from a small town in Italy
where Valentino was bom and
spent his boyhood.
Valentino did not know he was
dying until just a short time be
fore he passed away, according
to Ullman and had confidently
assured his manager he would
be back in his hotel suite in a few
days.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Here is
Rudolph Valentino’s own story
of his life. The famous film
star wrote it for NEA Service
and The Griffin Da’ily News
shortly before he became se
riously ill in New York. It is
preesnted here as an absorb
ing, straight-forward story,
just as Valentino wrote it.
His career is one of the most
unusual in screen history.
BY RUDOLPH VALENTINO
(Copyright, 1926, NEA Service,
Inc.)
In my early studio days I once
tried to sell the story of my life
as a scenario. It was rejected as
The coup was engineered with
out disturbances early yesterday I
both army and navy rallying to
the Cordylis standard. General
Cordylis today was master of the
situation, and complete calm was
reported in all sections of the
country. The general public in
Athens is exhibiting satisfaction
at the turn of events.
Messages from Spetaae stated
that President Pangalos had been
arrested on telegraphic

ruled an iron hand aince he

with the members of the Eutaxias
government, all of whom have
,been arrested, will have to answer
being “too wild and improbable.
To have one’s life thus character- j
ized by a company which speci
alizes in the most frantic serials!
was rather disconcerting.
Now as I try to view my own j
historical record with detachment
I can see clearly what the scenario
editor meant. The hero of piy
tale is not at all consistent, like
a movie hero. In fact, I am not
sure that he is the hero. At times
he has all the appearahee of “the
villain. >»
Yet again, he seems to have
good impulses, which a movie vil
lain never has. Nor does my life
run true to dramatic form. It
should mount in a straight line to

The Mexican episcopate met Mon

Pius VI which many hope will
j bring authorization to modify the
I episcopate’s attitude toward the
government and permit the priests:
to return to the churches.
The new move of the episcopate
follaws a cordial meeting Saturday
between President Calles, Bishop
j Pasqpal Dinz, of Tabasco, and
{ Archbishop Leopold Ruiz, of Mich
oacan, with Edouardo Mestrc, an
attorney, attending as mediator. I
Explanation by the president I
that the government, in demand- 1
ing registration of priests, was!
carrying through an administrative
measure, and had no intention
interfering with dogma or relig-]
ion, caused Diaz, the episcopate’s
spokesman, to admit that return
of priests was a possibility if in
structions to that effect could be
obtained from Rome. The episco
pate issued a statement which
said: 11 We hope divine services
can be renewed while we continue
J’fiieh ov^r efforts to regain that liberty
we believe has been jeopard
fixed by various legal precepts."
