Amtrak Almond Hand Soap




August 1923. Rudolph Valentino, the famous protagonist of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has arrived in London in recent days.
I went to the station to receive a sympathetic artist: the special train which was to take passengers Aquitaine arrived at midnight. On the platform many "girls" midinettes waiting for the train. Just down the compartment, Valentine was immediately recognized and immediately all the girls around him asking autographs. And while the famous actor
signature, signature without interruption, the smile on his lips, his distinguished gentleman she looked at the crowd, smiling as well.
Then, the special car took us to the Hotel Carlton where they were Reserved apartments which occupies Valentino during his stay in the capital.
During lunch we took the hotel, Valentino told me his plans:
"You see - he told me - my contract with the Famous Players, I would not deny me if this company had done the work as art demands. In other words, given the success of some of my films as Iquattro Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Famous Players forced me to make films in a given time, films in which art was sacrificed for the money you earn each time you threw this company one of my films.
short, for them, it was manufactured, to manufacture without interruption, and as a result of the critics did not recognize, in these productions made without any artistic sense, the actor who I was when I worked in films before.
was why I decided to break my contract, and since I can not work for other airlines in the meantime, I wait patiently for the month of February next year, at which time this contract expires.
However, the process that I have brought this company to resume my release and to produce the film as the art requires, must come to court in New York in October. If you give me reason I can begin work immediately with another company, the Ritz-Carlton Pictures Corporation, with which I have already made my project. My first film will be in large part to my home in Italy, and I will give you this time, as long as necessary to make a film worthy of being called such.
The next day he arrived, and despite the fact that many journalists were in Southampton to receive the famous artist, the Carlton Hotel, he saw dozens of people, our colleagues in the British press. Photographers, reporters, journalists, all asking for interviews with the famous Italian actor, and we can say that there is no English newspaper that has not mentioned him in flattering terms, as indeed it inhere
this cute and talented artist whose future given the past, is guaranteed to be brilliant. Maurice
