(Daily Record Photo) Dunn s Pageant I Takes Air Of A Rose Spectacle By TED CRAIL Record Staff Writer Billy Rose, whose house burned down the other day, has many knacks. Almost before he was five-foot tall, he became a cham pion at shorthand and typing. Growing taller, he talked Jimmy Durante into putting his celebrated nose under the hoof of an elephant. But Billy’s greatest talent has been the ability to find beauty and make it squirt dollars at him. He has dealt in profitable antiques, costly art masterpieces and Esther Williams. A cynical childhood apparently taught Billy the great truth’ that mankind will always go silly over a good-booking girl with a throaty voice if she measures right in both directions from the kneecaps. He has found, as Howard Hughes did with Jane Russell, that all girls are created unequal. He has capitalized on the very general belief that these inequalities are a matter of utter fascination * * * ^ altogether fitting and proper that during the same span of Historic Time which has wafted Billy Rose’s big house and immortal art masterpieces on the breeze as ashes. Harnett County has a Rose-type spectacle going It is going like a house afire. More contestants are announced, almost daily, for the Miss Dunn Pageant. The 1956 edition of this show will be held here on April 19 and 20. It will be a big affair. Billy himself could not have worked out a tighter sched ule for one of his proteges than the Junior Chamber of Commerce has worked out for girls who enter this contest. rCantiaaot On rip Tw») Democrats Hail Kafauver Vote Ike Beats Estes In Wisconsin Vote MILWAUKEE, Wls. s»- saw sne was ~a ukw as she toft to -marry the “rince of Monaco and lire In a natocd with more titles than any other woman of Europe.
