Irene Dunne as Guest Artist

NEW YORK, March 29 - Irene Dunne, who went to Hollywood to sing and remained to become a noted emotional actress, will sing again when she enters the Hall of Fame as the guest artist for the broadcast of a NBC-WEAF nationwide network Sunday, April 1, at 10:30 p.m.

 Although Miss Dunne is to be said by many to be the finest of the film vocalists, she had done little singing since she entered motion pictures, and many who remember her in musical comedy will have one of their first opportunities in several years to hear her lyric soprano voice when she sings with Nathaniel Shilkret's orchestra in the Hall Of Fame.

 Miss Dunne began her muscial education at an early age and continued in a convent in St. Louis. Later, she attended the Chicago College of Music, and then went on the stage. Her theatrical successes include "Sweetheart Time," "Irene," and "Clinging Vine." It was while she was appearing in the musical comedy "Irene" [sic] she was given a screen test by RKO and signed to a long term contract.

 Since then she has starred on the screen in "Leathernecking," "Cimarron," "Thirteen Women," "Back Street," "The Silver Cord," "Ann Vickers," and "If I Were Free," but because of her dramatic ability, she has been kept so busy in dramatic roles that she had found little time to sing before the camera.
