Newscopy: "SHE SAW THE FAIR AND TOOK A TOWER HOME WITH HER, TOO. Honey-haired Dorothy Drew, one of Sally Rand's Music Box lovlies, went to see a preview of the 1939 California World's Fair on Treasure Island. So intrigued was she with the Tower of the Sun and the Court of the Moon that she prevailed upon Artist Leland Clifford to sketch the skyline on her back so she could take it with her--but alas, she apparently had forgotten she'd need two mirrors to get another look...The Tower of the Sun is in the background."
