acting if I were condemned to remain far from her, and that I could not succeed without her warm wing fluttering over me and giving me confidence in myself.

Susie now keeps step with me in everything she does; she watches over my comfort and my contentment, and serves me with love and generosity. I never hear her grumble or criticize, and she avoids everything that might vex me. My life with her is truly one of lasting bliss... I am very happy indeed that I found her, and that the sacred bond of marriage was tied between us.

• Alida Valli, the Italian star whom the youth of Europe cheered before the last war — we scarcely catch sight of her before we begin to ask ourselves: where have we seen her face before? Nor do we ponder

long: her face is the famous face of the Mona Lisa that stands in the Louvre museum, with its abiding dignity and majesty...

Valli is a peasant girl from Italy. She made 34 films there and met with dazzling success in her acting career. She was nick-named the Deanna Durbin, for the strength of the resemblance between the two in charm and lightness of spirit... And when the Allied army entered Rome, they found Valli fully prepared to leave her birthplace for Hollywood — that glittering city which forever welcomes new faces of a distinctive stamp, such as this face of Valli's.

Valli repeated the English words in her parts while ignorant of what they meant! For she had never acquired any education! But how was the naive public to suspect such a thing, when she was so gifted, so masterly in the perfection of her roles? And by the time she was seen in the film

"The Miracle of the Bells," Valli had begun to understand what she was saying... It is expected that this actress will shine brightly in the sky of Hollywood...

The poets have said much about women's tears:

Emerson said: "The most beautiful sight in existence is the sight of a woman weeping."

And Bernard Shaw said: "The deadliest of all weapons against mankind is the tears of a beautiful woman."

And the poet Victor Hugo said: "Every tear that fell from her eyes carved into my heart the words: 'I shall love you forever.'"
