Angelita Cuccinello, a poor girl picked by Rudolph Valentino Valen-tino from 10,000 contestants as the prettiest girl in Chicago, Chi-cago, fell ill and was forgotten by all except a blind woman, to whom she was known only for her beautiful voice. Recovering, Recov-ering, she was killed by a motor truck on her way back to work, just before Christmas, and lay three days in the , n i morgue unclaimed, until the blind woman, missing her, j ' started an inquiry that led to her identification. There are poems in it, too, and sermons. |
