FLIGHT COMMAND PILOT Dinah
Shore U. S. Army Air Corps is prob
ably the most titled young lady in
America. Most important title describes
her professional standing: she is the
nations Leading Girl Record Salesman.
In the female bracket she means to the
wax discs what Bing Crosby does on
the boys side. She is also officially
recognized as radios ''Mellow-mood
Singer"
Other experts say that her voice is
wisteria-laden. Some call it magnolia
scented. 1t all depends on the way you
feel when you hear her sing.
As for the titles: Dinah has been
made Queen of more college proms than
any other lass in the country. A New
York dental society selected her as
Girl With Most Charming Smile"
(the President was their choice as The
Man With the Frankest Smile'). The
Brooklyn Dodgers appointed her their
Queen. The junior class at New York
University picked her as their Ideal
Career Girl. The aviation honor came
when she visited the boys at the
Will Rogers Air Base in Oklahoma. She
left there as a colonel and fight COM
mander.
ALL THAT adds up to something. In
this case it's 23-year-old girl who did
things the hard way and ended on top
of the heap. 1t started when she left
home and Vanderbilt University in
Nashville, Tenn, to head North. She
arrived in New York in October, '38. 1t
was a long, cold winter. She didn't
make a dime. But in March radio

weekly $50 she made paid her living

be nuts about her.
