The above scans are from a book titled
Dark Lover: The Life and Death of Rudolph Valentino
(2004) I asked Emily Leider for clarification on the source of her information. Her reply: "The info is from Valentino's ghost-written autobiography, published in Photoplay, and also (cf. p. 83 of the book, which is in most libraries) in an interview with a former dancer, conducted by Anthony Slide and shared by Slide with me."
