In the same issue, the article on the competition Fox Film looking for "Italian beauties" I reproduce below.
of this competition, which will end up as a subtitle for male candidates, "the impersonator of Valentino", and the protests of some print film (also on this occasion), I will speak in the following post.
What I would like to point out is a bizarre coincidence: the date of commencement of the competition is August 23, 1926, right on the day of the death of Valentino ...
Here is the article:
