fight—has been against "Sheik stuff." Does she care when crowds of women mob her husband every time he appears in public? No, she doesn't; she's used to it.

means that he is popular on the screen. Sometimes it is inconvenient. When we were on tour, the children used to crowd around the private car and try to look through the windows while we were eating breakfast. We had to pull down the shades and stuff towels in the cracks. I suppose you can't blame the children. Private cars aren't an everyday occurrence in small towns. It must have been just like a circus to them.

"But in most of his pictures, Rodolph has been a false personality. People have the wrong idea about him. In 'The Sheik,' for instance, he was an impossible sort of man. No wonder the men took a dislike to him. As soon as people hear him talk, they change their minds about him. They forget all the ridiculous and impossible things they have read about him."

the secret of the success of their marriage?

"There is none. You can't speak about marriage in generalities. Of course, Rodolph and I have the same interests. Perhaps this fight—this lawsuit—has brought us closer together. We both believe in the independence of the artist. Yes, and in the dignity of the artist, too. The whole tangle has been inconvenient but it hasn't been exactly hard because we know we are right.

"If Rodolph had simply been an attractive man with a certain charm for women, it would have been easy to replace him. But it hasn't been so easy to find another Valentino, has it?

"The movie fans will learn that success—permanent success—isn't a question of luck and a good-looking face. People laugh when you talk about ideals in this business. They think you are crazy. They say the public doesn't want good pictures. How do they know? Have they ever tried making them?

begins working on his new pictures for Ritz Carlton, he's going to make good pictures. And I believe the public will like them. And then, we'll know that it has been worth all the trouble and all the fights."

Substitute the small, blonde Mary Pickford for the tall, dark Mrs. Valentino and you have the same arguments that launched Douglas and Mary on their career as independent artists. Mary, stubborn and contrary, also fought her way through lawsuits and matrimonial difficulties. A pretty woman with an idea firmly fixed in her mind can baffle strong men.

their stubbornness, Mary Pickford and Mrs. Valentino have another trait in common. They have a sense of humor. They can laugh at their husband's jokes and at the grotesque comedy of the rest of the world. They are experts at discovering the silver lining and at making the best of bad situations. The dancing tour may have been bad in many ways, but it made new friends for Rodolph. The lawsuit was disagreeable but it has proved to the public that Rodolph has the courage of his convictions. The more adventures that befall you in marriage, the less possibility is there that marriage will suddenly turn dull and stale. And marriage can weather many storms but it can't stand a long period of calm. Just ask the man who has married a placid wife!

Will H. Hays is fond of urging confidence and co-operation on the producers. The Valentinos, unlike the producers, have taken the motto seriously and lived up to it. And look at the trouble they've started!
