FAITH BACON "lady with the Fans" Soundie 1942

Here's the other Faith Bacon Soundie. Reissue print 1948. 1942 R.C.M. Productions, produced by Sam Coslow, directed by Josef Berne. In case anyone is wondering - Faith really is nude in this film, there's no body stocking. Faith Bacon is generally considered to have created the fan and veil dances (shown here) that are associated with Sally Rand. Rand created the bubble dance. Faith died at age 46 in 1956 after a fall from a window that may or may not have been suicide. Faith is 32 years old in this film.
