ure to increase the size of the

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.
