California speech.
Winner of a radio popularity
poll taken among servicemen in
the Pacific last January and sing
er on the Ford Motor hour on
Sunday, Jo tries hardest to please
her younger fans.
“It’s the kids who stand in line
for stage shows or buy the records
that make you. It would be pro
fessional suicide to wear a dress
that they didn’t like or try to fool
them in any way.”

Clothes are a particular prob
lem for her anyway. For several
years she has been dieting to lose
weight. Now that she is 35 pounds
slimmer, she has had to give up
all the clothes she brought from
California.
Jo and sisters Christine and
Pauline, grew up in Long Beach,
California, attending Polytechnic

merely got a little more fan mail
and more requests for favors. It
seems only a few weeks since I

Maybe, she says, the fun will
come later. But so far success

yourself not to yell at football

making records, and competing
with other talent at benefits.
