Dinah, whose real name was Ruth
Jor.ea. was recognised universally as
the "Queen of the Blues." It was
once said of 'The Swinging Miss D"
that "the other blues singers (of her
day) can't hold a candle to her." And
well that salutation applies.
Dinah, who sang the blues with
treat feeling snd psthoa. perhaps
came the closest to emulating the
great Bessie Smith, who reigned as
blaes queen during the early 1920s.
It was said of Miss Smith that she
sang of her resl life exigences—at
least those she encountered from dsy

paralleled, to some extent, sums of

Buker. Miss Baker had called the
ladice from the airport, after ahe aue-

Stokes.
She said the dancer, whose tern-
»>er seems to match her torrid per-
formances. had held her at gun-point
for two days In the Hotel Beresford,
where they shared a room, threat-
ening to kill her if she left.
Miss Baker told the police "Satin
Doll" had become emotionally upset
in the room and told her that she had
shot someone. The dancer apparently
feared that her roommate would in-
form police if she left the room.
Miss Baker said she finally per-
suaded Miss Stokes to leave the hotel
and they both drove to I'nited Air-
lines to purchase a ticket. That was
when Miss Baker slipped away and
called the police. ,
Two policemen answered the call,
but Miss Stokes drew a pistol on
one of them as he waa approaching
her. However, she was disarmeu bv
another who seized her from behind.
Miss Stokes was arrested and tak-
en to City prison, where ahe was
hooked on charges of violation of the
gun law and assault with intent to
commit mufder. The latter charge
was lodged against her after Dun-
koe identified a picture of her as the
woman who had shot him in the Mis-
sion hotel.
Dunkoe said he was introduced to
her in a bar. and that she agreed to
accompany him to a hotel room for
