Small cleanup[edit]

I removed the following Comment on the article, I feel it belonged here:

"Note that this article is filled with mistakes and poor language from a computer translation: There was no television in Canada in WW II. She never hosted a wartime TV show Tambour battant -- these were War songs that she sang."

I would like to add the while there were no TV at the start of the war, She did indeed have her own show. It would seems that this article is a poor partial translation of: http://www2.ville.montreal.qc.ca/chm/clic/robi.htm - Sepper 23:39, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Actually, the article used several sources, none of which, incidentally, is the one you point, though cross-references might be to blame for similarities. My sources were easier to collect due to the recent release of "Ma vie en Cinémascope", but I do admit not being a native speaker of English, my translation is likely far from perfect. Please feel free to make corrections. Circeus 23:45, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
