Sweet, loveliest 18 year old Deanna singing a tribute to nurses with a WWI song, in this short made for the November 1940 Red Cross call through the nation.
Red Cross annual fund raising calls were customary on Armistice Day (Nov. 11th.).
Deanna was asked twice to contribute, first in 1938 (short "A Friend Indeed") and then again in 1940. Many other actors starred in Roll Calls through the years since the silent era (Mary Pickford and Doug Fairbanks among them).
Don´t miss this opportunity to listen to her in a less-known footage. It is only to regret that the other performers in the Warner benefit gala are just seen flashed through, so the acts can not be enjoyed.
Thanks to Australian CATHS for giving us all this treasure !
