Prettily dimpled, with a mature lyric soprano voice that made her a sensation on the radio when she sang on Eddie Cantor's hour this autumn, Edna May Durbin was born in Winnipeg, brought up in Los Angeles where her father is a broker. She started taking singing lessons at 11. Last year her voice caught the ear of Hollywood Agent-Manager Jack Sherrill who put her under contract, got her a test with M-G-M for a picture that was never made. Her possibilities impressed Associate Producer Rufus LeMaire. When he joined Universal, he persuaded...
