Rosemary spilled the secret when she led Martin to a phonograph, put on a battered disc and played an audition record of "My Old Ken- tuckyHomex that she made II years ago in Cincinnati when she was only 13. Laughingly, Tony Martin she told Tony she had sent him a copy of the disc with a request for advice about her voice. And then topped it by producing the actual letter which she had saved through all the years. Tony nearly flipped when he read, "If you insist on making an auditor record of 'My Old Kentucky Home,' at least sing it straight. You have a good basic voice but you are making strange sounds with it." ?╟≤ U-I HEATED one of the biggest bath tubs in the history of the screen for Ann Sheridan's swimming scenes in "Vermillion O'Toole."
