GBB-F-004309-0000 1926, december, USA : The lesbian actress JEAN ACKER (1893 - 1978), first wife just for few hours of silent screen movie actor RUDOLPH VALENTINO (1895 - 1926). In this photo Jean Acker virtually has assured a joyful Christmas for poor kiddies of Kansas City, Mo. When the drive for funds lagged, Mayor Albert I. Beach appealed to the actress to " do something ". The result is shown in this picture. The campaigner who gets the most money for the Mayor's Chrostmas Tree association gets the doll, a replica of Miss Acjer. Get it right the doll.
