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

thence to Warsaw where her beauty captivated the Poles. 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

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.
