CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE, Aug. 24, 1926 

* Rudolph Valentino death
* Latin Lover - The Sheik
* Full back page pictorial


The great banner headline announces: "RUDOLPH VALENTINO IS DEAD" with one column subheads. (see) NIce for display. A full page back pictorial with 16 related photos is also great for display.
Valentino was an early pop icon, a sex symbol of the 1920s, & was known as the "Latin Lover" or simply as "Valentino". His death caused mass hysteria among his female fans and further propelled him into iconic status.
Complete with all 38 pages, light toning and minor wear at the margins, small address stamp in the masthead, generally nice.
