Nino was at his wit's end. He gave her money to live on, and sat down to worry! He went on worrying, because Ruth remained adamant to persuasion. He offered to pay her way home, but she sobbingly refused. On the last day of his engagement in Detroit, Nino and his manager put their heads together, and decided to resort to threats. They called the girl into a dressing room — and talked Latin turkey. As Nino put it, "We both said some mighty rough things to this girl, Ruth, things I hope we never have to say again, but she consented to return home!" Back in Canada, Ruth continued to write Nino every day. He never answered these letters, and after approximately six months, they ceased to arrive. Nino thought his troubles with Ruth were over at last. Instead, they'd just started! He received a letter from Ruth's sister, or someone who claimed to be her sister, saying that Ruth had died. Nino felt badly about this, and wrote the sister saying so. THE sister replied that since Ruth adored * Nino so wholeheartedly it might be a noble gesture on his part, since Ruth was a poor girl, to send money for funeral expenses. Nino complied. The sister wrote back, thanked him for the money, and included several touching descriptive paragraphs about how beautiful the ceremony was. And on the very day that Nino was telling me of this, Ruth, who was supposed to be dead, was downstairs in the lobby! The funeral money, just as she had planned, had been exactly enough to pay her way to New York! Knowing that Nino was on the Chesterfield program, she watched the newspaper columns for a mention of where he was living, and when she found it, she spent her afternoons waiting for Nino to speak to her. And, as I write this, she's still there in the lobby. What to do about her, Nino doesn't know. So far, ignoring her has worked. All the time that the episode with Ruth was going on, Nino blundered into other troubles of the same nature, problems that were equally difficult to handle. After leaving Detroit, he headed northwest to continue his tour. On the day he was to leave Butte, Montana, he received a letter from a girl in Tacoma, Washington. The girl said that she had read in the papers that Nino was to sing in Tacoma, and that she wanted to hear him sing, but was too poor to afford a ticket. Nino showed me the letter. It was very touching. The girl (we'll call her Jane) told how she was down to her last fifteen cents, when walking through an impoverished section of Tacoma she saw the title of Nino's motion picture, "Here's to Romance." On the billboards were pictures of Nino which stirred her so deeply that she spent the last of her money to see the picture! The letter had a ring of sincerity to it that would not disturb the most suspicious person. She went on to say that the cheeriness of Nino's face, and his magnificent voice, helped her to see new things in life, and gave her the courage to seek work. She concluded with the information that she had found employment doing maid's work in a hotel, and that she was saving her money to hear, and see, Nino sing when he came to Tacoma. When Nino got to Tacoma, he remembered the girl and her letter. His kind heart got the better of him once more and he sent Jane two tickets for his concert. After the performance, Jane turned up back-stage, and told Nino how much she had enjoyed hearing him sing. Suddenly, she broke into tears, and begged him to take her with him! Nino, out of pity, explained nicely to the girl how impossible it would be to take her with him, but for the three nights he sang in Tacoma he had to endure the back-stage pleadings of Jane. When he was packed and ready to leave for Seattle, Jane declared that she would consent to nothing less than going with him — even if she had to ride on the floor of the car. Nino slipped furtively out of town. When he arrived in Seattle Jane was waiting for him. But it wasn't the povertystricken Jane of her letter. She was dressed to kill. She had a complete new ensemble, two hand bags, and a wardrobe trunk. All this sudden prosperity made Nino mad. You can hardly blame him. He issued orders to all the doormen that Jane should not be admitted to the theater. She then switched her attention to Nino's manager, and kept him happy with the information that she would follow Nino to the ends of the earth. She meant it, too. In Portland, Oregon, Nino's last stop on the tour, she turned up again. She told fantastic stories to the doormen of the theater, saying that she was Nino's fiancee, and that they were quarreling. 1^1 NO'S manager came to the rescue. He ■^ told Jane that Nino, after completing his tour, was going back to Italy to be married. It was highly probable, the manager insisted, that Nino would never return. The next four days were hard on Nino. Jane's pleadings turned into screechings, and she phoned him for confirmation of his manager's story at all hours. The strategy worked, however, and when Nino left Portland, a very sad Jane returned to Tacoma. Finding that she had been duped, Jane resumed her letter-writing, and Nino can still find a letter from her in his mailbox almost every day. She wants him to return to_ Tacoma, but he, strange as it sounds, isn't so interested in her requests! The most embarrassing series of incidents that happened to the Chesterfield singer occurred in Chicago. Nino was sitting alone, quietly eating his dinner at a table in the dining room of the Congress Hotel. A young woman, accompanied by the head waiter, silently, and assuredly, came to his table and sat down. Nino looked up amazed. The room was almost empty, and here, sitting at his table, was a girl he had never seen before in his life! She immediately smiled at his amazement and embarrassment, and said: "Why Nino Martini, I see you don't recognize me. Remember the lovely times we had together in New York last year?" This was another ruse, and Nino recognized it as such. How to get rid of the young lady was another problem in the life of the now frantic young Latin. She was obviously quite a lady, and utterly at ease! If he remained pleasant, carried on a conversation, and then politely left, she'd
