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.
