COMEBACK FOR VALENTINO MAY TIE DIFFICULT One-Time Favorite’s Future Cast in Production of ‘The Lone Eagle.’ By Russell J. Birdwell JfEA Service Wtiter eOLLTWOOD, Sept. 5. —One of the main topics of whispering jargon in this celluloid city is whether or not Rudolph will stage a "come-back” with the picture he is now milking, “The I-one Eagle,” adapted from a Russian novel by Poushkin. Valentino, as well as the public, knows now that he rode a high wave of fleeting fame to a hard and miserable fall. Obscurity did not claim him because that is what his pressagent, Joseph Jackson, is paid to ward off, but fading popularity is worse than a streak of lightning to a condemned star. In “The Lone Eagle,” he has all the odds in his favor. He has a great director, C'larrence Brown: a capable cast, including the butterflylike Vilma Wanky, Budapest actress: "“motion pictures
