mist of the State College Extension

SALLY RAND HAS
GONE BANKRUPT

San Francisco, Oct. 16-(UP)--
Nothing whatsoever of Sally Rand
was visible today as her creditors
took woeful look at her bank
ruptcy petition on file in federal
court.
The young woman who had made
big success of not hiding too much
behind a bubble or an ostrich fan,
listed assets of $8,067 and liabilities
of $54,631. She made her oath on
this. then ducked out of sight.
For 40 weeks she had been the
headline attraction at a night club,
earning nearly $1,000 a week. She
operated-but did not appear in
the nude ranch at the San Francisco
exposition, and directed the activi-
ties of another nude show, Miss
America.
Then she put her money into a
new concession known as Gay Pa
ree," in which she appeared with
her bubble, fan and peacock feath-
ers. She ran $24,000 into the red
within few weeks, it was under
stood, and the creditors came around
with attachment papers. She ducked
them for a few days by failing to
open. She had hoped to stall them
off until the expositions closes IA
days hence
So They Won't Wait
$50 they won't wait, eh?" she Is
reported to have told friedns. "Okay,
I'll show EN-" And, under her true
name, Helen Gould Beck, she filed
her bankruptcy petition.
Today her plans were as indefinite
as her whereabouts. She was re-
ported to have taken refuge in the
home of friends where she contem-
plated taking her Gay Paree"
troupe on the road.
Among her most pressing debts
were $5,025 promissory note with
the Central Bank of Oakland, and
smaller amounts to broadcasting
companies, lawyers, personal friends
and business associates.
In 1887 she paid an income tax on
$l27 1888. A national magazine few
months ago detailed a staff writer
TO oh-and-ah over her business acu-
men. The fact is she was doing quite
well until she invested her own
money IN a show featuring her own
nude figure.
