Original Toronto Star caption: Miss show business of 1974, singer-actress Liza Minnelli last night gave an electric performance before 15,500 fans in the Grandstand at the CNE. Her jokes and waif-like capers went down well, and Star staff writer Frank Rasky says she was clearly most glowing personality on that Grandstand stage this season.
