Soon you will see all the movie magazines and movie columnists writing of the magnificent production of the “Life of Lola Montez.” The Nugget through the courtesy of the Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce herewith publishes a short story of her exciting career. Here all the elements for a great movie, with enough thrilling episodes that Hollywood will not have to twist history to make a great picture that will bring world wide publicity to Grass Valley: Lola Montez was born in Limerick, Ireland, Tuly 3, 1818. and was baptized Marie Dolores Rosanno Gilbert, From the citv of Limerick she later derived the name of ‘The Limerick Countess’. Her father, Edward Gilbert, was an ensign in the king’s Own Scottish Borders; her mother, Miss Oliver, was a descendant of Count de Montalvo, a Spanish grandee. In after years. the name of Lola was derived from the diminutive of her second-name, Dolores: In 1882, hex father was appointed to a regiment in India where two years later he died of cholera. Her mother soon afterwards married Captain Craig. It was this stepfather of Lola’s who stood staunchly by her through all her years of trouble. To further advance her education, Lela was sent to hex stepfather's re 'latives in Eneland when she was eight. Ten vears slipped by before Mrs. Craig again saw her daughter and she was surnrised at her great beauty. having already promised her in marriage to the 80 year old Sir Abraham Lunley, judge of the supreme court of England. When Lola discovered that the beautiful clothes her mother was purchasing for her were her trousseau. she eloved with Lieut. Thomas James on July 23, 1837, and left shortly for India where she became an acknowledged beauty. Sometime later Lola’s husband eloped with a Mrs. Lemer. With pressure from her mother Lola left for England with a check of 1000 pounds given her by her stepfather, several thousand dollars in jewelry. Her husband divorced her in 1842, accusing her of misconduct. It was at this time that she decided to become a dancer: She went to’ Madrid and studied under a Spanish professor. She assumed, the name of Lola Montez partly to conceal performance in London the audience was thrilled, but an old admirer recognized her and loudly called ““Why, that’s Betty James,” she was ordered never to appear on the London stage again. Friendless and penniless she went to BrusQUALITY LIQUORS Are Our Specialty You can always have a’ good time here LUNCH COUNTER OPEN TILL 2 A.

The 60 year old Poskievich, ugly in appearance and the most ruthless man Russia had produced, offered her an estate and jewels and upon her refusal had her ordered out of Warsaw. From Warsaw she went to St. Petersburg becoming a great friend of his imperial majesty Nicholas I. Shortly afterwards, adoring intellect, Lola fell in live with Franz Litz one of the great pianists of all times. Their love affair was but short lived. In Paris audiences admired her beauty and hissed at her dancing. Here, Alexander Dumas fell passionately in love with her and here too she met Damas’ friend, Monieur Dnjarier a journalist. She cultivated his each other and became engaged. In an absurd duel Dujarier lost his life leaving Lola a very rich woman,

Grass Nugget Presents Life a witched by: Lola when gained an interview with him in an endeavor to secure a stage opening. Antagonisms arose between Lola and the king’s advisors and soon the hatred engulfed the whole of Bavaria. Heeding only Lola’s advice, the king made her the Countess of Landsfelt, endowed her with an annuity of 20,000 florins, and had her portrait painted by royal command and placed in the gallery of beauties. The citizens believed her an arch enemy but she had no fear and when the mob was against her showed wonderful courage. At Lola’s suggestion the king closed the university and ordered all students not citizens of the city to leave town. ‘This act threatened his throne so the king was forced to exile her and take away her citizenship. Back in England in 1849, Lola married Cornet. Heald. On her honeymoon she was arrested for bigamy. Usilcknowmnst to her the divorée.from Thomas James was ‘only a separation. Lola-and Heald ran away, only to separ: . ate two years later. By 1851 Europe held little for her. She came in the midst of glamor and glory to New York and then went to New Orleans and San Francisco. Notoriety and publicity sped ahead of her. In San Francisco she became famous with her spider dance. She produced Lola Montez in Bavaria. In July +841,-she married a man named Hull at the Mission Dolores in San Francisco. They spent a great deal of time hunting in the Sacramento Valley. However, soon tiring of Hull, she discarded him for a German named Adler also-a hunter. Before ‘she had time to discard her German lover he accidentally shot himself. Weary of men and sick of the world, Lola come to Grass Valley in 1852 seeking seclusion and peace. It was here she built her home the only home she ever owned. It still stands tody at the corner of Mill and Walsh streets, a two-story ivy covered building, with the famous old wine cellar in the back. In this wine cellar Lola kept her wines, imported from ail _over the world. Although-Lola yearned for peace there are many recorded stories of displays of her fiery temper. An editor once indiscretely published an editorial against her. When Lola found him in a saloon ‘she horse whipped him. A local preacher who delivered a tirade against her dancing felt the sting of her fury. After a trip to Australia she returned to Grass Valley but in 1859 she went to New York, joined the Episcopal Church with religious zeal and died January 17, 1861. Paramount Pictures that will produce “Lola” plan to make it one of their biggest 1947 productions. There is no doubt that the picture will be expensive one with dozens of authentic sets to be built. Sets will have to show backgrounds in Ireland, England, Russia, Bavaria, San Francisco and of course Grass Valley. You can expect the scene in which she displays her temper by horsewhipping a local editor will, no doubt, be one of the highlights of the production. The picture lends itself perfectly to technicolor possibilities in the great ballroom and dancing scenes. Excellent music will also be in the score in the piano melodies of Franz Liszt, one of the great pianists of the last century. Three Hollywood stars have been suggested for the role of Lola—Heddy Lamarr, Paulette Goddard and Marie Montez. On account of the vast amount of research and costumes and scenery it will be late 1947 before production starts with release as a Centennial feature. The Grass Valley Chamber of Commerce plans to make every effort to have the world premier of the picture shown bére. PLEASE SHOP EARLY. Thess is still a sugar shortage.
