Freshman Smoker to Feature Sally Rand

DANCER TO HEAD ENTERTAINMENT

In a return engagement, Sally Rand will come to Harvard Tuesday, when she will headline a list of sparkling entertainers from stage, screen, radio, and the professional wrestling ring at the annual Freshman Smoker to be held in Sanders Theatre.

Master of Ceremonies will be Ed Sullivan, noted columnist for the New York Daily News, who has conducted similar shows for four years. Yvette a blonde from the Hotel Astoria in New York, will be the featured singer. Going to the other extreme, there will be a wrestling match, to be refereed by Dick Harlow, between Marvin Westenberg, who won the World's Championship several years ago under the ring name of the "Shadow," and King Kong Kashey, the "terror of the Ring."

Sally will lecture on the subject, "What the Average College Stage Door Johnny Is Looking For When He Stage Door Johnnies a Burlesque House Stage Door," Another talk on an equally serious subject, "What a Harvard Boy Should Do to Get Sexy?" will be delivered by Margie Hart. This promises to be a very informative and valuable discourse, in view of Miss Hart's recent assertion that Harvard students are no more "interesting" than hyenas.

"The Mad Russian," a famous juggler from the Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus, whom John Ringling North terms, "by far the best juggler I have ever seen," will also perform. According to Austin Mason, Jr., chairman of the committee arranging the evening, there will be several other equally well-known entertainers.

Free Beer Afterwards

After the show, free beer, coca-cola, pretzels, crackers, cigarettes, pipes, tobacco, and soft drinks will be served without charge in Memorial Hall itself.

The show will begin at 8:30 o'clock, and will continue indefinitely. The tickets will be sold to Freshmen first at 35 cents apiece, and providing there are any extra pasteboards, an opportunity will be given to upperclassmen to purchase them. The Yardlings will also get an advantage in the seats they will get for the show, because they will be let into the theatre from 8 to 8:20 o'clock, and the upperclassmen from 8:20 to 8:30 o'clock.

Sally Rand's last appearance at Harvard was in 1938 when she urged her listeners to support labor unions and Democracy. She told them that they should go into labor or politics, since those fields "are the intellectual frontiers."
