Maybe she worked for a major metropolitan newspaper... and changed 
itdentities in a telephone booth.
Actually, they both were from Philadelphia but they were not the same 
person.  I cannot recall Sheindele's voice, but her American name was 
Jean Gornish.  She had a radio program for a while, and always appeared 
as 'Sheindele di Khaznte'.  Her career was earlier than Bas Sheva's and 
to the best of my knowledge she performed only in Jewish venues.   Bas 
Sheva's American name was Bernice Kanevsky, daughter of Cantor Yossele 
Kanevsky, and she had a broader repertoire and audience, though always 
working under her Jewish name.
