The article terms her an artist

OF the delicate weaving Of her
hands, the appealing esrnestness OF
her voice and the general air OF
being somebody who is worthy OF

French word, "dieuse," may be
employed to describe Miss Horne's
personality: word generally used
out OF respect for one who is paid
very large money for having charm
and technical proficiency instead OF
voice.
Concerning her pre-Hollywood
days, the story relates that Miss
Horne. dixie almost all female mo-
