Collectors d orner By SARAH VAUGHAN (Sarah Vaughan has been acclaimed a foremost song stylist of modern times. During the past year she's won top honors in many polls. She won the 1947 Esquire Award as the outstanding new singing star of the year. Sarah, who's 23 years old, was singing in the choir of the Mount Zion Baptist Church, Newark, N. J., until five years ago when she won an amateur contest at a New York theater and a job as vocalist with Earl Hines' band. She was signed by Musicraft Records in 1946 and has been that label's top-selling artist.) MY FAVORITE TEN VOCAL RECORDS 1. "Ave Maria" by Marian Anderson 2. "Nancy" by Frank Sinatra 3. "Around About Midnight" by Margaret Whiting 4. "A Sunday Kind of Love" by Jo Stafford 5. "It's Monday Every Day" by Jo Stafford 6. "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" by Jack Leonard 7. "Stairway To The Stars" by Ella Fitzgerald 8. "Good Morning, Heartaches" by Billie Holiday 9. "Intrigue" by Billy Eckstine 10. "Basin Street Blues" by Herb Jeffries. My favorites among my own discs are: "The Lord's Prayer," "Everything I Have Is Yours," "It's Magic," all on the Musicraft label. This list comprises records by all my favorite vocalists. I am heading the list with Marian Anderson's "Ave Maria" because I am a very great admirer of Miss Anderson's work. Many times I have wished that I could go in for the serious kind of work she has done. One of the greatest thrills of my entire career came a short time ago when Miss Anderson called me up to compliment me on my recording of "The Lord's Prayer." To say the least, I was overwhelmed. My favorite male vocalists are Frank Sinatra and Billy Eckstine. Billy and I worked together with Earl Hines' band, and when Billy started his own band in 1945, I went with him. As for girl singers, I like and admire a lot of them, particularly Jo Stafford, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Margaret Whiting. I think each has her own particular style, and that is what makes a singer. Oaeaadttt' $m4e& smile wins a feather for her hat ! Jacqueline Crouse, Art Student, outsparkled 1300 of Boston's brightest beauties in a Community Fund contest to choose the city's 1948 Red Feather Girl. A jury of prominent citizens awarded her the "crown" — a Lilly Dache hat adorned with a red feather, symbol of the Community Chests of America. Jacqueline's smile has a way with college men, too. They voted her "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi" at Brown University. Now her smile is brightening the campus of the Rhode Island School of Design. "It's a Pepsodent Smile," Jacqueline says. "No other tooth paste will do for me!" The smile that wins is the Pepsodent Smile ! Jacqueline Crouse knows it, people all over America agree— the smile that wins is the Pepsodent Smile! Pepsodent with Irium is their 3-to-l favorite for brighter smiles. Wins 3 to 1 over any other tooth paste —families from coast to coast recently compared delicious New -Pepsodent with the tooth paste they were using at home. By an average of 3 to 1, they said New Pepsodent tastes better, makes breath cleaner and teeth brighter than any other tooth paste they tried. For the safety of your smile use Pepsodent twice a day— see your dentist twice a year! ANOTHER FINE LEVER IROTHERS PRODUCT 19
