Even so, when she learned that her big chance was to be nothing less than prima donna opposite James Cagney In Grand National's "Something to Sing About" she nearly swooned. Victor Schertzinger, well-known composer and the motion-picture director di-rector who gave Janet Gaynor her first chance and Grace Moore her second, is responsible for Evelyn t opportunity.
