THE LEADER BOOKSHELF
BY MRS ELIZABETH F. KELLY -
Librarian, Freeport Memorial Library
;.,' Though some people objected to books written" in the first
person, I would suggest you not overlook "Faith is a Song/' by
Jessica Dragonette. The subtitle, "Th e Odyssey of an Ameri-can
Artist," really explains the book; To 'many of 'su, Jessica
dragonette's name is very familiar. Some of us recall her pleas-ing
personality as it came to us in-song over the microphone.
Perhaps some of us wonder why we are not hearing her more
frequently these days.

politics are frequently mentioned.
It is really a history ol these, days.
- Yes, she does bring in her per-sonaa
life- Evidently she was very
close to her sister Nadla, Mrs. Jo-seph
Loftus, who later became, in
practice at least, her manager. She
tells too, how she probably lost out
because of her acting manager's in-experience^_
Miss Dragonette brings
into the book her personal -friends,
tells of her first meeting with, and
courtship of her husband, Nihcolas
Meredith Turner. She was very
generous with her time and energy
in behalf of our country, singing at
war bond drives, and at the camps.
Then stinging in a town, she almost
always went to the convent to sing
for tttie nuns.
Young ra-tists could well learn a
great deal from Jessica's experience,
and.we, who are not, can learn to
appreciate tihe continuous study and
braining that makes for a perfect
performance.- "
