Use Mail Tribune Want Ads Sally Rand Writing Story of Her Life Spanning 30 Years in Show Business Denver (U.R) The little blonde from the Ozarks is writ ing the story of her life. And quite a story it should be of the gal who knocked Chicago for a loop with her fan dance at the 1933 World's Fair. The story of Sally Rand's life will span a period of over 30 years as a nightclub entertainer, movie actress and more recent ly a television performer. But the highlight in the fabu lous saga of Sally is expected to be when' she made history with a pair of fans that alternately hid and revealed a shapely; well developed 5 foot body at the big fair of '33. The chapter dwelling with how she finally landed a job at the fair promises to be a lulu and Sally vows to bare all in telling her story. . "I'm not going to pull any punches in telling ; my story," Sally said. . Played Lady Godiva She will tell how on a chilly May night in 1933 when the fair was just getting underway she accepted a dare that led to her getting a chance to perform her fan dance on the "Streets of Paris." With all animals barred from entering the fair grounds, Sally hired a boat to bring her to the fair grounds astride a big horse. Sally came riding down the "Streets of Paris" portraying Lady Godiva, winding in and out and around the tables where a group of Chicago's leading so cialities were seated at a milk fund dinner. Fair officials expressed both amazement and shock and Sally was advised there would be no job for her. But fair officials hadn't anticipated press and public reaction. A few days later Sally was waving her fans in her own show. She was an im mediate sensation, the biggest attraction at the fair, and for the paltry sum of $100 a week. This Tims a Bubble She was back again as the star attraction at the 1934 con tinuation of the fair, and agaht she was a success, this time- with a bubble dance. But her story doesn't . start with the fair nor does it end there. She was a Wampus Baby star in 1927 and had a -minor role in one of the all-time great movies, Cecil B. DeMille's "King of Kings." Sally is currently appearing at the Tropics night club here. In between times she adopted a baby boy, now 6 years old. Proclaiming her current mar riage to a Las Vegas contractor a "very happy one," she said the biggest role of her life now is that of a mother and a housewife. Salem (U.R) - Farm and La bor groups have agreed here to a proposed hike of personal, and corporate income taxes to meet Oregon's budget deficit. o) 5 Ip) 13 (r R Ji IS Ui 0 !i9 Is CTR Special Clear-Away Mce-ISl i'i O cm. ft, GENERAL ELECTRIC NOW $329.95 MTIM DOWN!
