Lot Angclfi District Attorney
to Determine Whether Crim
inal Proceeding! Should
Be Filed. t
Los Angtltt, Uiy 19 Two Ie
ttctivrs representing the Lot An
gelri county ditrii t sttorney's office
were on llie ty to Mcuali, Lower
tWornis, today to Investigate the
reported nurrige t litre of Kit'lolii!
Rudolph Valentino.
Valentino, motion picture actor, and
Miss Winilrcd Huduut. District
Attorney Thomas Lee Wool wine
and Deputy District Attorney Tom
McClelland abandoned announced
plans of poim? in person to conduct
the investigation.
The detectives, it was stated at the
district attorney's oflice, were to
stop at Palm Springs, Riverside
county, and ascertain whether Val
entino and Miss Hudnut stopped at
a hotel there last Tuesday night
upon their return from Maxicali.
"Intent" cf Valentino.
At the district attorney's office em
phasis was laid upon the "intent" of
Valentino.
"If he left this country a few days
after getting a divorce," said Mr.
McGelland, "was married in Mexico
and then returned to the benefit of
the laws here, he clearly intended
to evade the law here. It makes no
difference if the woman he married
nas left for the east."
The district attorney concurred in
the informal opinion recently given
by judges of the Los Angeles su
perior court that Miss Acker, from
whom Valentino obtained an inter
locutory decree of divorce January
10, 1922, would be his legal wife un
til the decree was made final a year
after that date.
Valentino, who, at the trial of the
divorce action, gave his true name
as . Rodolpho Guglietmi, has been
seen in public onlv once since . his
marriage to Miss Hudnut. That was
Wednesday night at Pomona, 30
: ! . l . t a . ... i. .
nines east oi L,us fvngcics, wucn ne
escorted his bride to the eastbound
train she boarded there. Movie
"fans" recognized him at the depot.
It is understood the actor has en
gaged lesral counsel, although there
.is no formal charge against him.
Federal Authorities Investigate.'
Federal authorities, however, have
followed suit in the matter of in
vestigations of the actor's marriage.
Frank M. Sturgig of the department
of justice said the department desired
to know whether, in bringing Miss
Hudnut back into California, where
he already had a legal wife, after the
ceremony at Mexicali, the actor had
violated the Mann white slave act.
Mr. Sturgis stated also the depart
ment was interested in the marriage
at Tiiunia. Lower California, October
3, 1921, of Frank Mayo, motion pic
ture actor, to Dagmar Godowsky,
daughter of Leopold Godowsky, the
pianist, four days after obtaining afl
interlocutory decree of divorce here.
A marriage contracted by Henry
B, Walthall also is said to be under
investigation by federal agents.
Miss Hudnut is a motion picture
art director, known professionally as
Natacha Ramova.
10 Days After Divorce.
San Francisco, May 19. Henry B.
Walthall, screen star who is playing
in vaudeville here, expresses no
worry as to the proposed investiga
tion into his marriage.
"There are absolutely no grounds
for an investigation into my second
marriage," he said last night. "I
married my first wife, Isabelle Fen
ton, an actress IS years old.. We
couldn't get along and separated. I
obtained a divorce at Chicago five
years ago. I was given a final de
cree with the promise that I would
not macry again in the state for a
year.
Ten days after my divorce I mar
ried my leading lady, Miss Mary
Charleson in Indiana. At that time
the, legality of my act was thrashed
out by the Indiana judiciary and it
was decided I had done nothing out
side of my legitimate rights." ,

M. Tthitcberin created surprise
when he declared that the Russian
di legation was dissatisfied with the
economic report because it was not
broad and comprehensive enough in
it political orientation to be useful,
lie said the attitude toward labor
wa narrow and unsatisfactory.
"The hrad of the Russian delega
tion is little justified, considering the
present economic condition of his
country, to give lessons to other
countries," M. Colrat said
The economic report was then
adopted with the understanding that
reservations by certain powers would
be recorded

erf to the meetiniff the oroject for
the Hague meeting of experts and
the text of the non-aggression agree
ment which would permit the dis
cussion there with the Russians to
Uke place in an atmosphere of mu
tual confidence, and especially in the
spirit of pacification which he said
had inspired the Genoa conference.
The nations represented, except
Germany, were called upon to accept
the truce, and the heads of the vari
ous delegations arose and announced
their approval. Several nations ac
cepted with reservations, especially
the states on the Russian border,
which already have treaties of peace
with Russia which are not to be
affected by the truce.
