Sally Rand, one of America's best-known strip-tease "artists," was famous
for her bubble dance in the 1930s. The act included men with pins in their
canes pricking the bubble at strategic moments -- There is a great
photograph (highly retouched) of her in a full body suit leaning against a
huge bubble -- Its reproduced on Page 9 of Weekend Magazine (Saturday,
February 3, 1979) - I did the photo research for this article on "50 Years
of Striptease" but can't recall exactly where the image came from -- I
obtained photographs from the Theatre Collection/New York Public
Library/Astor Lennox Tilden Foundations, from Culver Pictures and from
CP/Wide World -- I am not sure where the latter two collections are located
now. Nevertheless, any good book on Sally Rand or striptease should have
this photograph of the bubble dance.

>>Dear Colleagues,

>>A student is trying to find examples--either figurative or literal--of
>>"bubbles" in literature or art (of any style or period). I'm rather
drawing

>>He has found several entries in a Shakespeare Concordance which he will

>>offer (you never know if some bubble-fetishist out there will have a
site).
>>I've looked through our meager resources including several dictionaries of
>>signs and symbols, the World Painting Index, and the Oxford Companion to
>>20th-century Literature, but to no avail.
>>
>>I'm hoping that someone out there with, perhaps, ICONOCLASS or some other
>>source, like a literary concordance can site some myths, legends, fairy
>>tales, folklore, or other stories, or artists who may have dealt with this

>>Please contact me off the list.
>>Thanks, in advance, for your help with this.
