Evelyn Dall was known in the UK as England's "Original Blonde Bombshell". Originally from New York City, Dall began her career in short films and in supporting roles on Broadway. In 1935, she moved to England to become the female vocalist for Bert Ambrose and his Orchestra.
Here's a video featuring excerpts from a 1941 British film "He Found a Star". Evelyn Dall sings the songs "Salome" and "Costa Rhumba" in this clip. I get such a kick out of "Salome". I think I've watched it a dozen times and can't get the darn song out of my head. :)
