Amazing Luck at Tables Wealth of the Dolly Sisters
ETWEEN 4 o’clock on a recent afternoon this month and 3 o’clock the following morning, Jennie Dolly, one of the fqTYimis: TTollv Sisters tliPi
rTffnmwiiiP l famous Dolly Sisters, the most sought-after “sister act” in the
world, won £IOO,OOO at the Casino of I_.e Touquet, and lost it nearly all again.
Four times she broke the bank, staking £12,000 at each coup.
Then, as soon as the bank was replenished with a fresh 1,000,000 francs, she would proceed to win it. An excited crowd surrounded Miss Dolly—whose legs are almost as famous, as those of Mistinguett—during her wonderful run of luck. It was recently announced that Miss Dolly had won over £50,000 in an afternoon, at the tables at Le Touquet and Vlad returned to her castle at Fontainebleau. Later, the same evening, she flew back to Le Touquet and lifted £16,000 from the bank.
The Dolly Sisters are Hungarians, but they have international fame and apart from their theatrical successes are known as the most daring gamblers in Europe. They possess jewels that many an Indian rajah would envy and wherever they appear in public are surrounded by throngs of admirers.
