Rudolph Valentino's First Wife Didn't Forget Today Hollywood, Calif: -- For the first time in a number if years, Jean Acker, motion picture actress, visited Rudolph Valentino's tomb in the mausoleum at Hollywood Cemetery in memory of the 14th anniversary of his death. Miss Acker carried a huge bouquet of freshly cut red roses, Rudy's favorite bloom in her arm and placed them in the crypt. It was Valentino's marriage to Miss Acker that got him into trouble with the law in 1921. The records show that he went to Mexicali, Mexico., and there took Winifred Hudnut, known on the screen as Natacha Rambova as his second bride. Valentino had to do some explaining but no action was taken against him and he re-married Miss Hudnut after Miss Acker's divorce became final. They, too, were divorced - Photo Shows - Jean Acker as she visited Rudolph Valentino's crypt here today.
