Professor Hamilton's Diary: Nov. 21, 1935

The story of the professor and the burlesque dancer goes coast-to-coast

Professor Hamilton never says another word about his missed encounter with fan and bubble dancer Sally Rand. Today he taught classes, picked up his car at the shop, and worked late into the evening. Margaret and the children went to the home of Dr. and Mrs. High, their physician, where Margaret played the violin with Mrs. High’s sister and the Hamilton and High children played together.

But the story of the erudite professor and the fan dancer had a life of its own, at least for another day or two. Paid subscribers can read about what newspapers from San Francisco to Roanoke, Virginia said in their headlines.

The photo of Sally Rand publicizing her Leda and the Swan dance is being offered by a dealer on eBay.
