Hollywood (Jan - Mar 1943)

Canary from Cleveland It was Dolores Del Rio who inspired Janis Carter to become an actress, Janis is in United Artists' G-String Murders ■ It was in 1929 when Dolores Del Rio made a personal appearance in Cleveland, Ohio, Janis Carter's home town, that the young girl set her heart on a screen career. She was thrilled by the beauty and glamour of Miss Del Rio, then the reigning film queen, and after the show, she rushed backstage to catch a glimpse of her. After she had successfully battled her way through a mob of autograph seekers, the twelve-year-old chirped, "Miss Del Rio, I'm going to be a film star some day and sing just like you do." The star wrote in Janis' book — "To Janis. I hope you get your wish." It has taken Janis a while to achieve the wish, but after much hard and diligent work, some tough knocks and a couple of lucky breaks, she made it. She's now under contract to Hunt Stromberg, pro ducer for United Artists, who sees a bright future for the talented young lady who sings, acts, and looks ravishingly lovely at the same time. Music runs in Janis' family. It was no surprise that even as a very young girl she showed decided talent, which was encouraged with singing and piano lessons. While she was attending Western Reserve University, she assiduously studied music between academic classes, cramming in every bit of musical knowledge she possibly could. She sang in glee clubs, choirs and school shows. To pay for her music lessons, she waited on tables and worked at a dozen different jobs during the summer vacations. After graduation, Janis was ready to tackle the big city.
