■ VALLAURIS, France (By Cable)— I'm glad to be able to give first-hand news of the wedding of Rita Hayworth to Prince Aly Khan. I consider it to have been the most colorful experience of my life.
Rita is now Princess Aly Khan, mistress of many homes, possessor of many gems of untold value. She was presented with a king's ransom in jewels by visiting Ismailis. They gave her diamonds as big as walnuts, gorgeous silks, cloth of golden coins.
The town of Vallauris got up at daybreak to see the American movie gueen become a princess. Every available window in town was rented and crowds lined the narrow streets of the quaint French village. Prince Aly's father, the Aga Khan, who has endowed hospitals on the Riviera, received big cheers when he drove to the city hall with his wife, the Begum. She was dressed in a periwinkle-blue sari, very becoming to her brunette beauty. She was still quite pale from her recent illness.
Rita was dressed in a "Rita blue" Jacques Fath creation.
She carried a bouquet of white roses and orange blossoms. A touching part of the civil ceremony was the presentation to Rita of a bouquet of roses by two little French girls.
Following the ceremony was the wedding reception at the Chateau de l'Horizon on the sun-bathed Mediterranean — something I'll never forget. There were only a very few Americans present, most of the guests being the Prince's Continental friends. Contrary to reports, the Chateau de l'Horizon does not belong to the Aga Khan but is the Prince's own.
The night after the civil ceremony, the Moslem ceremony was performed quietly, with only relatives present. According to Moslem law, it's not necessary for the bride to be present, but Rita attended. The Prince did not wear Ismaili garb.
I'm delighted to say that Rita returns to Hollywood this fall to make a picture. Her only stipulation is that it be a glamorous story. Aly saw Carmen four times and loved it. The Prince told me he wants Rita to be happy and also thinks it would be too bad to deprive the public of her.
This marriage, what with the visiting Indians in native costumes, the manner in which the Prince lives and the lavishness of the reception, was so fabulous that if I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it!
