New American Girl Singer
Adding another precedent-break-ing achievement to her already long list, fourteen-year-old Linda Ware, Paramount’s singing discovery, has been invited to sing at the Hollywood Bowl, to become the youngest singer ever heard at that famed music centre. The Hollywood Bowl engagement is a fitting climax to one of the most exciting Cinderella stories ever to happen in real life. Within a single year the little orphan girl was “discovered” by Producer Charles R. Rogers: cast in a featured singing spot in “The Star Maker” to sing before Dr. Walter Damrosch. who has declared her “the possessor of one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard”; and now, just a few weeks after her fourteen birthday, has been given the signal honour of being the youngest singer ever to be heard as star at the Hollywood Bowl.
