Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Famous Sally Rand, fan dancer, here with dog, Mamie. Looking like a demure. slight schoolgirl, with blonde hair, bluegray eyes, a religious education, an abhorrence of sex and nudism-Sally Rand, the fan dancer who made the Chicago World's Fair famous, arrived in Toronto to-day. With her was her pet dog, Mamie, five weeks old. Miss Rand was a little stiff to-day from riding a blind polo pony yesterday. It was her first visit to Toronto, although she has been in Quebec.
