You can hear her on three network programs every week — on Prescott Presents each Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon at 3:00, and with the Jesters Sundays at 6: 45 p.m., both times EWT. Black-haired Diane was born in America of French parents, and that simple fact accounts for many of the things that have happened to her. Her mother was Arline Trottier, mezzosoprano star of the Paris Opera Comique, and her father was a noted concert singer. Mme. Trottier used to travel from America to Paris every year for the opera season, and Diane was born in Fall River, Mass., between seasons. From the moment she opened her mouth for her first howl, Diane was scheduled by her parents for a musical career with the emphasis all on the classics. While Mme. Trottier pursued her operatic career Diane was sent to school at the Dominican Academy, where music, the arts, and the history of France were her constant diet. Graduating from the Academy when she was twelve, she landed plump in the middle of a world where people spoke English, of which she understood not one word, and where the music of Jerome Kern was greatly preferred to that of Richard Wagner. 46 Well, Diane's education continued. She went to the New England Conservatory of Music, and although they began to teach her English as well as French there, she still had to study classical music. It was a complete scandal, one day, when the Conservatory authorities discovered that Diane and two other girl pupils had organized a swing vocal trio and were broadcasting over a local Boston station. But Diane tried to be a dutiful daughter, and persisted far enough in her studies so that eventually she played the piano with the People's Symphony Orchestra in a performance of a Beethoven Concerto. That ended her classical career, however. The following spring, when she should have been receiving her degree at the Conservatory's commencement exercises, she and the rest of the vocal trio were performing on the stage of a Boston movie theater. The trio was dissolved by Cupid in 1939 — one of the partners got married— and Diane came to New York and an audition for Fred Waring. For a year she was with Waring, "Honey" in the trio called "Two Bees and a Honey." Then she struck out to be a soloist and landed at the Blue network. That military uniform Diane wears on the cover is strictly authentic. She is a full-fledged, if honorary, Colonel of the Vermont State Guard, with a commission to prove it. RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR Diane Courtney, this month's cover girl, became a Blue network star because she staged a rebellion against authority. '
