She left the music industry in 1940 and joined the Women's Army Corps a short time later, where she sang at war bond rallies and other political events. She lost her voice as a result of these activities. She was unable to speak for years and was never again able to sing. Twenty two of the thirty sides she recorded for Decca were reissued on CD by Timeless Records in 1996.
