"When I was a child, and later when I was at Vanderbilt, I used to day-dream a lot. I always saw myself being utterly charming and too, too beautiful in a white fox coat. Someday, I used to sigh, I'll buy my dream coat. One afternoon when I had finished a rehearsal at the Wedgwood Room a salesman came up to me with the most beautiful white fox coat across his arm I have ever seen. It simply took my breath away. 'I don't want you to buy it, Miss Shore,' he said smoothly. 'I just wanted to show it to you. Would you like to try it on ? My, my, it fits perfectly ! I have a client who is most eager to buy it at once, but if you have a special date tonight I don't mind your keeping it overnight and wearing it' " Dinah said yes, she did have a special date, and she took it to the apartment and showed it to sister Betty. Betty said, "It's sort of impractical, isn't it?" Dinah said yes, but not to worry because she had only borrowed it for the night and back it would go tomorrow. And then her "date'' arrived, took one look at Dinah in her white fox and exclaimed, "Dinah Shore, in that coat you are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen !" "Why, I'm so glad you like it," said Dinah demurely, and added, with a side glance at sister Betty, "I just bought it today." The "dream coat" was stolen from Dinah's Hollywood apartment two weeks ago. She wasn't too upset. White fox is too impractical, and much too frivolous for these serious times. Dinah's ambition is "to be a normal girl." She is very suspicious of phonys. "I can't stand people who don't talk straight.' And most wary of Hollywood. "I keep telling myself not to believe any of this. Hollywood will never turn me into a glamor girl." Her great "enthusiasm" (second only to Mr. Crosby) is the armed forces. And the armed forces, as you well know, are equally enthusiastic about Dinah. She has been elected the "Sweetheart" of more camps than she can keep count of — and she is prouder of this honor than any bestowed upon her. She'd cut her tongue out before she'd refuse to sing for a soldier. Several nights a week she sings at the Hollywood Canteen, where the boys gather around and ask for their favorites. Sundays and holidays always find her visiting a nearby camp. Dinah feels that singing to the soldiers is her part toward the war effort. All young soldiers, it seems, are in love with Dinah Shore. One reason is, perhaps, that she is around their own age. Also, she is one of the few singers they actually know. When Dinah has finished singing at a camp she doesn't whisk herself off home, or to an officers' club. She greets the boys personally, "My name's Dinah, what's yours?" She eats with them in their mess hall, she . talks with them, dances with them, and takes messages to their girls back in town. "No soldier has ever said anything off -color in front of me. We girls who aren't beautiful have an advantage over the girls who are. The boys don't consider us out of their reach. The boys are never in awe of me. They always call me Dinah — and I like it very much." Dinah has a way of singing that makes each soldier think that she is singing to him, and to him alone. And naturally that goes over big with the boys. They like that torchy "intimacy" in her voice. It makes their toes curl. They like to feel that they're the one. When she sings Cole Porter's You'd Be So Nice to Come Home To every soldier is under the illusion that she is singing it to him alone. When I asked Dinah how she got that SCREENLAND Betty Grable and George Montgomery In a romantic scene from their co-starring film about the famous resort, "Coney Island." intimate quality in her voice that causes all males to fall in love with her, she explained, "I just relax. I stand there at the microphone and I slip off my shoes so I'll be perfectly comfortable. I cross my fingers, I close my eyes, and I think of somebody I love very much. Maybe my Daddy, maybe Petey." "Sometimes," I suggested, "don't you think of Jimmy Stewart?" Dinah blushed right up to the roots of her hair, and I want to state here and now it was refreshing to see someone in Hollywood blush. "Lieutenant Stewart and I aren't having a romance," she said. "I date him when he's in Hollywood, but it isn't a romance. It's a friendship. Hollywood is so silly. Just because you date a man doesn't mean you're having a romance with him." Dinah met Jimmy Stewart (Lieutenant Stewart to Dir.ah) when they both did a broadcast. A week later when she was leaving the broadcasting station in New York a mczsenger boy handed her a wire — it was from Jimmy telling her how much he liked the song she sang that night. After that it was wires and more wires. When Dinah sings Jim, one of her favorites, I just bet she isn't thinking of Petey. Recently, Dinah has been having a "friendship" with tall, blond and handsome George Montgomery. It's a Hollywood Canteen friendship. Seems that George was bus-boy at the Canteen one night when Dinah sang there. Between songs George was introduced. He asked to take her to the Brown Derby for a bite after the show. Ever since then Mr. Montgomery has found it convenient to do his bus-boy chores on the nights that Dinah sings. The other day she and George were standing on the busy corner of Vine and Hollywood Boulevard, waiting for George's sister to finish her shopping. A bunch of kids recognized George and descended upon him for autographs. One little girl, who never takes a chance on missing anything, asked for Dinah's too, but paid no attention when she wrote it down. The kids were halfway down the block when the little girl suddenly looked at her autograph book and shrieked, "Dinah Shore! It's Dinah Shore!" There was quite a commotion after that. Even a few salesgirls from the Broadway store joined in the excitement. "What's the matter with me?" said Dinah. "Nobody ever turns an eye at me until they know it's me!" "Mr." Warner Brothers will attend to that, Dinah.
