We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
"PEELING that his wish to become an actor was not sufficient to carry him very far without hard work and long training, London- born Edward Underdowm took a job in the City. When, however, he was offered a part in Noel Coward’s " Words and Music," he decided to take the plunge. Films followed stage work and then came his army service during the war. The first film he made after his demobilisation was The Woman in the Hall and others have included They Were Not Divided, The Woman With No Name and The Dark Man. Tall and dark, he is very shy. He is keen on all sports, with cricket prime favourite. LUCKY DAY FROM CITY TO STAGE l-JAVING decided on a dancing career, Doris Day was depressed when a car accident kept her in and out of hospitals for over a year. She decided to study voice until she was fit again, but when eventually she was able to dance once more she had become such a fine vocalist that her friends advised her to take up singing as her career. Doris was singing at a local radio station when a bandleader heard her and signed her up. The song he had heard her sing was " Day after Day," and when she was trying to think of a name to use professionally the band leader suggested she should take Day for good luck. It has certainly proved a lucky name. She had had no acting experience before coming to the screen but she was given the feminine lead in her very first film. Among her pictures have been It's a Great Feeling, Young Man of Music, Tea For Two, Storm Warning and The Lullaby of Broadway. Doris enjoys strenuous sports, hates having her hair done, likes to spend a lot of money on per- fume, and her favourite colour is red.
