Valentino Italian film renaissance of pro
, Rudolph Valentino had arranged before his death, that most of the profits that would have been entitled to exploit his last film in Italy, were donated to pro rebirth of Italian film.
It 's a nice gesture and material, which should give serious thought to these moguls of the cinema, that persist every day to prevent the rebirth of Italian film.
It 's just a month ago that in the Ballroom of the Hotel Ambassador, on the eve of the premiere of Son of the Sheik, Rudolph Valentino rather an expression of melancholy and dreamy, she confided to us members of the press film of the Latin countries, with immense sadly, it was unable to win back public favor of his race, so quickly and so completely as he had conquered the Anglo-Saxon.
He was too delicate and sensitive nature of a perhaps exaggerated sincerity in all that touched his art. He had had some painful debut, his education and his agronomist apprendissage a gardener, had not prepared for some career in which he had triumphed in the short space of just six years.
The dizzying speed of his ascension to the highest peak of the film firmament, is characteristic, as was the fabulous development of one industry in the film.
Rudolph Valentino had landed in New York, in December 1913 seeking employment as an apprentice gardener was then 19 years. It is now used by the banker Mr. Cornelius Bliss, then he took to Central Park in New York. The gardener's work is clearly not smiling at him: he had a longing for coffee and tabarins. and so the director of the small restaurant Maxims night, after having sworn an affordable dress, made him dance in his club. He later became the two dancers partenaire much known, but not very satisfied of the environment rather limitalo cabarets at night, began to seek employment on the scene and to that end he left for California with a crew of operettas that soon though went bankrupt. Was so without employment, the Council agreed to try on the screen and having borrowed the money, he went to San Francisco and Los Angeles, where he got to pose as an extra. When in 1921
June Mathis has adapted for the screen The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and sought an ideal type for the role of Jules Denoyers, the choice of three or four candidates, fell on Valentine, who became famous twenty-four hours the first screening of this film.
Later, his was not that a string of unbroken successes.
The best-known films, as well as The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse , in which the actor took part are: Beyond the rocks , Blood and Sand, The Young Rajah , Morsieur Beaucaire, Sheik and The Son of the Sheik the last work he performed. The great success of
Valenlino, is due to women for ladies and weak he embodied the kind of perfect. He had been nicknamed "the Sheikh, the great love." It happened that he was not only girls but also women of the world.
Pola Negri, the great actress, she was madly in love with him and not hide at all, indeed, on several occasions he had announced his engagement to the beautiful Rudy, but confirmation had not come from him. During
Valentino spent ten days at the Polyclinic Hospital of New York, the doors were besieged by adult women and young people, to the point that the police had to establish a security cordon around the hospital itself.
He fell ill suddenly during the night between Saturday and Sunday, August 15, and was immediately operated. Towards the end of next week, beginning to recover when an unexpected attack of pleurisy has quickly transported to the grave.
E 'died Monday, Aug. 23, at noon and fourth, and as soon as the news became known, the streets of New York became swarming with people, so that the police had to intervene to restore order.
do not remember them in our long career in journalism, a similar emotion at the general public for the death of an artist.
Rudolph Valentino to leave a great name, but not a great success, according to Mr. Schench, the Director of United Artists.
When he was hired to Famous Players Lasky, received $ 1200 per week, with United Artists received $ 200,000 per film, plus a percentage of 25 percent on profits.
In 1925, Valentino has won a million dollars, but it costs money with the same ease with which it came.
He had a life insurance for a quarter of a million dollars, which certainly will be collected by United Artists

beautiful Italian competition for Fox
I admired Agonale away - just in ... mouth in the Senate - a huge wall poster illustrated in color, four-to five meters square, a poster (I just checked) printed in Italy by the "Fox Film." I stopped reading because I am often in movie posters and more I am now that I see them bigger and more conspicuous, while the newspapers are suffering philosophically the dry regime. I quickly found that the poster in question, despite the promising appearances, could not care for any to myself, because that ' Fox Film "real Italian beauties."

But there were, the manifest appearances, two heralds-size clothes of bright colors, give breath to the golden trumpets and explain to the wind, weaving them, the flag of the United States and that of Italy. Bell'alleanza - I thought - and beautiful arrangement, for example, if we could weave the standards in terms of payments or the issue of emigration ...
But for now, the agreement is limited to Italy in search for beautiful women and men to be sent to California to make shows itself in these masterpieces of art and American zozzoneria that everyone knows and they know that, especially those involved in the ill-fated ill-fated film censorship.

The poster, on a whim of the case, it was just m posted these days - while we came from America that the news of the death and funeral of a young 'cachet' of cinema that has made In a few years - we would not dare say 'won' ten million, which has entered into several adventures, who married e. .. left several wives, the poor worker's arm as they used to say, poor intellectual, the poor clerk, the poor Italian citizen, including the journalist, who make ends meet, with the honest sweat of their brow, standard reading for ten days that America is in turmoil because of this that cinema is dead, that some hundreds of ladies have passed out to the crowd gasping in ca mere passionate that the funeral was attended by half a million people, a group of admirers, it is proposed to drag the surgeons even before the courts, because the surgeons have allowed appendicitis tear art changes the artist of the shadows ...
