Dolores vs. th
mx
INTO the years of the brief life of Dolores Del Rio there have been crowded the glamour and drama, the madness and tragedy, the emotion and fire of a hundred glittering women.
The sensational high points of her life have leaped out at you from a thousand newspapers. She has been accused of:
Breaking her husband's heart, thereby causing his death.
Being responsible for the divorce of Edwin Carewe and his wife, Mary Akin.
Providing the incentive for a duel between Carewe and her husband, Jaime Del Rio, which was never fought.
Sending Lila Lee to a sanatorium because she won the heart of her sweetheart.
Poisoning a wife's mind against her husband and thereby causing a separation. (Attorney Gunther R. Lessing and wife.)
Being unkind and ungracious to her fellow countrywoman, Lupc Velez.
So devastatingly fascinating Cedric Gibbons that he neglected his most loyal and dependable friend, Aileen Pringle.
And every charge one hundred per cent wrong!
These are but some of the charges made against Dolores Del Rio, whose fantastic career has been woven into the pattern of Hollywood.
Several months ago she was through in Hollywood. And this occurred at a dramatic moment, as everything has occurred to her, just after her gay wedding to Cedric Gibbons. There were three staccato events. She married Cedric Gibbons.

A few weeks later she became seriously ill. One month and three days after that she was without the famous United Artists contract that had brought her S9,000 a week while she was working. Her picture, "The Dove," was scheduled to start before she became ill. And it was on the eve of the shooting that doctors told her to remain in bed.
There was a clause in her contract
which provided that if she should be
away from the studio for one month
for whatever cause at all, the contract
was automatically null. They gave her three extra days. One
month and three Jays — and she had no more contract than a
bearded lady has sex appeal.
The time dragged on. Dolores was through — washed up — finished. She was also ill, disheartened, discouraged. Gay parties were given — but she was not among the group. Occasionally someone asked, "What's happened to Dolores Del Rio." And someone suddenly remembered, "Oh, she's ill." And the usual line followed, "I think she's pretty well washed up in pictures."
A few weeks ago came the announcement that Dolores Del Rio had signed a long-term contract with Radio Pictures and that her first film will be the ill-fated picture, "The Dove." Now the inside newshounds were ready to peddle their vicarious information. Rubbing their hands in glee, they announced that United Artists and Sam Goldwyn were delighted with the deal. In one lucky stroke they had rid themselves of a star whose last picture, [ please turn to page 102 ]

That bookcase upon which Dolores is reclining is a davenport in disguise and what looks like a
counter in the foreground is the rail of a secret stairway leading to the boudoir. Tricky?
