Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
join in any reindeer games...

Rudolph Valentino (1895-1926) was Hollywood's ultimate 'Latin Lover'. The Italian-born American actor starred in several well-known silent films including The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1921), The Sheik (1922), Blood and Sand (1922), The Eagle (1925), and The Son of the Sheik (1926). His early death at age 31 caused mass hysteria among his female fans and propelled him into iconic status.
Rudolph Valentino was born Rodolfo Alfonso Raffaello Pierre Filibert Guglielmi di Valentina d'Antonguella in 1895 in Castellaneta, Apulia, Kingdom of Italy. He had a French mother, Marie Berta Gabrielle née Barbin, and an Italian father, Giovanni Antonio Giuseppe Fedele Guglielmi di Valentina d'Antonguella, a veterinarian who died of malaria when Rodolfo was 11. Unable to secure employment, the 18-years-old Rodolfo departed for the United States in 1913. In New York, the handsome young man supported himself as a taxi dancer (someone who danced with women for 10 cents a dance), among other occupations. In 1917, Valentino joined an operetta company that travelled to Utah, where it disbanded. He then joined an Al Jolson production of Robinson Crusoe, Jr. which was travelling to Los Angeles. By fall, he was in San Francisco with a bit part in a theatrical production of 'Nobody Home'. While in town, actor Norman Kerry, helped Valentino land a few minor roles in films and by 1919 the young Italian was typecast as a shifty-eyed Latino villain. He appeared as the second lead in The Delicious Little Devil (Robert Z. Leonard, 1919) with Mae Murray. He was credited Rudolpho De Valintine. During this period he married small-time actress Jean Acker. Acker was a lesbian, involved in a love triangle with actresses Grace Darmond and Alla Nazimova, and the union with Valentino didn't last long.
Finally, in 1921, Rudolph Valentino's star potential was realised by screenwriter June Mathis, who convinced director Rex Ingram to cast Valentino as Julio Desnoyers in The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse (1921). A sensation was the scene in which he dances a sensual tango. The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse became a critical success and was one of the first films to make $1,000,000 at the box office. It remains to this day the sixth-highest grossing silent film ever. Valentino's unique brand of sexual charisma scored an immediate hit with the public, but Metro failed to capitalise on their new personality. For his follow-up film, they forced him into a bit part in a B-film called Uncharted Seas (Wesley Ruggles, 1921). On this film, Valentino met his second wife, Natacha Rambova. Rambova, Mathis, Ivano, and Valentino began work on the Alla Nazimova film Camille (Ray C. Smallwood, 1921), based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas fils. Valentino was cast in the role of the idealistic young Armand, who falls in love with the older courtesan Camille (Nazimova). The film, mostly under the control of Rambova and Nazimova, was considered too avant-garde by critics and the public. Valentino then accepted an offer at Famous Players-Lasky, the forerunner of the present-day Paramount Pictures. Here he co-starred with Agnes Ayres in The Sheik (George Melford, 1922), a role that would solidify his reputation as the ‘Latin lover’. Hal Erickson at AllMovie: “Despite the film's shortcomings, Valentino's magnetic personality permeated every frame, firmly establishing him as a star of the first rank.”
Rudolph Valentino was rushed by Paramount from one film to another. He starred alongside Gloria Swanson in Beyond the Rocks (Sam Wood, 1922), but it was a critical disappointment. Valentino began work on another Mathis-penned film, Blood and Sand (Fred Niblo, 1922), co-starring with vamp Nita Naldi. Valentino played the bullfighter Juan Gallardo. He initially believed the film would be shot in Spain and was upset to learn that the studio planned on shooting on a Hollywood backlot. After finishing the film, Valentino married Rambova, which led to a sensational bigamy trial. The pair were forced to have their marriage annulled and separated for a year. Despite the trial, the film was still a success. Blood and Sand went on to become one of the top four grossing movies of 1922, and Valentino considered this one of his best films. Valentino took a two-year sabbatical, devoting his time to writing and publishing poetry. He returned to the screen in such disappointing productions as Monsieur Beaucaire (Sidney Olcott, 1924) and Cobra (Joseph Henabery, 1925). A columnist for the Chicago Tribune characterised the actor as a 'pink powder puff'. Valentino angrily challenged the writer to a fistfight, but the waspish scrivener refused. Valentino divorced his second wife Natasha Rambova and formed his own production company, playing virile leading roles in The Eagle (Clarence Brown, 1925) and Son of the Sheik (George Fitzmaurice, 1926), two of his best films. A few months after completing Son of the Sheik, he was hospitalised in New York with a perforated ulcer. Complications quickly set in, and on 23 August 1926, the 31-year-old actor died. Nearly 80,000 hysterical women, including actress Pola Negri, crowded into Campbell's Funeral Parlour in New York.

His last stand before the Christmas lights vanished.
I somehow lost three days this year, so this is actually 365/365!
A small chipmunk that is up on the rooftop of the cabin seeing if he qualifies for the role of Rudolph to lead Santa's team this Christmas. Good thing the occupants are out hunting or he just might have gotten shot.
Ist es ein Hirsch oder eher eines der neun Rentiere vom Schlitten des Santa Claus, das sich hierher zum Garden Plaza in der Shopping City Süd (SCS) bei Vösendorf verirrt hat ? Oder hat sich das Tier vielleicht gar nicht verirrt, sonder hält nur Rast, während Santa Claus die elends langen Wunschlisten der Erdenbürger in den mehr als 300 Geschäften rundum abarbeitet ? Ich weiss es nicht. Ich weiss nur, dass es sich bei diesem imposanten Hirsch oder Rentier nicht um Rudolph, das Rentier handelt. Denn Rudolph hat ja wie bekannt eine leuchtend rote Nase, von der bei diesem Exemplar hier nichts zu bemerken war. Eine willkommene Abwechslung beim Shopping-Bummel in der SCS ist das Gebilde allemal !
Is it a deer or one of the nine reindeer from Santa Claus' sleigh that has strayed into the Garden Plaza in Shopping City Süd (SCS) near Vösendorf ? Or has the animal perhaps not strayed at all, but is just taking a rest while Santa Claus works off the wretchedly long wish lists of the citizens of the earth in the more than 300 shops all around ? I don't know. All I know is that this imposing stag or reindeer is not Rudolph the Reindeer. For Rudolph, as is well known, has a bright red nose, of which there was nothing to be seen on this specimen here. It is certainly a welcome change during a shopping spree in the SCS !
