A REAL STAR

In early 1940, Kate Smith, a fiercely patriotic American, and the biggest star on radio, was deeply
Worried about her country.

She asked Irving Berlin if he could give her a song that would reignite the spirit of American
Patriotism and faith. He said he had a song that he had written in 1917, but never used it. He said
She could have it.


She sat at the piano & played it and realized how good it was. She called Mr. Berlin and told him that she
Couldn't take this from him for nothing. So, they agreed that any money that would be made off the song
Would be donated to the Boy Scouts of America.

Thanks to Kate Smith and Irving Berlin, the Scouts have received millions of dollars
In royalties.

This clip is from the movie "You're in the Army Now".
You will see a familiar face in this—one that we are all very proud of.


Frank Sinatra said that when Kate Smith, whom he considered the greatest singer
Of his age, first sang this song on the radio, a million guys got 'dust' in
Their eyes and had to wipe the tears the 'dust' caused.

If you can watch and listen without 'dust' getting in your eyes, you have no soul.
Sit back and enjoy a Real Star.
