original caption:

No—Guess Again! Recently there was a mammoth Actors' Fund Benefit held in Los Angeles in which all the movie stars appeared. And the Argentine tango in which Shirley Mason and Viola Dana impersonated Natacha and Rodolph Valentino is even now the talk of Hollywood

Hollywood gossip was circulating that the Valentino marriage was in deep trouble, that Natacha was taking drugs to numb the pangs of despair, that she was absenting herself from the Whitley Heights haven, and had taken a lover. To scotch the rumors, Natacha joined Rudy in hosting a reception at the Ambassador Hotel for the Spanish painter Federico Beltran-Masses, who had just completed four paintings for them. [...] The forth painting was a sensual portrait called La Gitana, a portrait of a Spanish gypsy reclining seminude likewise in the attitude of Goya's naked muja. Except for the woman's green eyes, La Gitana has the unmistakable features of Natacha. The well-bred Rambova, who was never seen in Hollywood with her hair unbound, brandishing a cigarette, or wearing a short skirt insisted that Beltran-Masses's naked maja be given a name other than her own. It was Rudy's favorite painting, however, one that he would later place above his bed at Falcon Lair.

[...] In Hollywood, Rudy did not want to live alone with his memories at Whitley Heights. He moved into Falcon Lair, even though renovation had not yet been completed. Beltran-Masses kept him company there and gave him painting lessons. The work the actor chose to reproduce in these lessons was La Gitana. Obsessed with the picture, he painted it over and over again. - Madam Valentino, Michael Morris

"Hollywood—all the joys of the petty community life of 'Main Street' with an additional coating of gold dust thrown in for good measure! "I am not going to describe any of the widely heralded Hollywood parties with unmentionable details, nor am I insinuating that Hollywood is a 'wicked city'—it is not even that—it is merely and imitation gilded hell of a make-believe realm. Nothing but sham—sham—and more sham. "Hollywood—one continuous struggle of nobodies to become somebodies, all pretending to be what they are not."
