HOLLYWOOD
CHATTER
DINAH UP IN THE AIR
FOR GIs
By BOB THOMAS
HOLLYWOOD — When I saw
Dinah Shore at her Beverly Hills
home, she had just returned from
a date with a blimp. I am not re
ferring to her husband, Sgt.
George Montgomery, who is a
large fellow, but not particularly
plump.
The blimp in this case belonged
to the Navy, and Dinah had risen
at 5 o’clock that morning to keep
her date with it. You see, the
singer has a habit of meeting the
troop ships when they come in
from the Pacific. Sometimes she
sings to them on the dock, but
this time she met the ship at sea
in a blimp. She hung out the win
dow and waved to the boys and
sang for them through a micro
phone.
* * *
The only difficulty was that her
guitarist, a 250-pounder named
Perry Bodkin, had to stay on the
other side of the blimp for fear

his weight would provide a tilt.
“It’s really fun singing for the
boys when they come home,” Di
nah said. “Usually I’m standing
on the dock at a microphone.
Then as the boat rounds the pier
I start singing, ‘You’d be so Nice
to Come Home To.”
"Sometimes they recognize my
voice and start cheering. Some
times I wait until I finish the song
and then say, ‘Welcome home,
boys. This is Dinah Shore.’ Then
they really start yelling. My, that
surely makes a girl feel good.”
Dinah always sings them about
10 songs, including the inevitable
“Sentimental Journey.” She par-1
ticularly enjoys the way her voice
sounds over the water.
“It’s just like singing in the
shower, you sound so good. Some
times I think if I could broadcast
and make records in the shower,
I’d be known as the greatest sing
er in the world.”
* * *
We had a fine lunch, which in
cluded Southern biscuits with
some tasty apricot preserves, and
afterwards Dinah started inter
viewing me.
“Where were you born?” she
demanded.
“Just like you—in the South.
San Diego.”
"And tell me—did you have any
experience in y >u:- childhood that
left a lasting impression?” By this
time I could see she was jesting.
“Do you mean to tell me that
you have to endure interviews
like that?”
“And worse. They want to know
all about my early life. And they
ire always disappointed because
I never was poor, I never had to
sing in the streets for tossed pen
nies, never worked in a night
club line and never developed any
neuroses.”
“Ain’t it awful to be famous
and have to go through such in
terviews?”
“Are you kidding? It's wonder
ful. Do you think it’s bad to walk
out on a stage and have every
body clap for you? Not on your
life. And say—that moola comes
in pretty handy, too.”
