ant papa Prince Ally Khan is cur
rently shopping for chocolate
candy to satisfy a craving develop
ed by his wife, Rita Hayworth, but
rumor has it that the Prince him
self may have also developed
taste for chocolate-of another
kind.
While former film start Rita's
chocolate comes from Lusanne's
best candy shops, Alys taste for
brown sweets is reported to be
confined to exotic dancer Rather
inc Durham. Continental gossips
linked the names of the two ro-
mantically. The story flashed
across the Atlantic and was first
told in this country by Hollywood
COlumnist Louella Parsons. She
limited openly that the former
Chicagoam was being courted and
showered with expensive gifts by
"a certain person whose marriage
not long ago was headlined all
over the world"
But there were also quick de-
malls that the dusky prince had
fallen for the golden brown dancer
who is now the toast Of Paris.
Columnist Earl Wilson wrote:
Friends of Ally Kahn angrily deny
the rumors that he has new heart
interest in a famous American
dancer"
Miss Hayworth and Ally were
married last May. Their baby is
expected sometime in December.
The imminent arrival of their
offspring, however, has not silenc-
ed the gossips, who insist that the
Prince, one of the wealthiest men
in the world, is making eyes at the
University of Chicago graduate
who Is now making a successful
tour of Europe with her noted
troupe of Negro dancers.
