Honor Flight Columbus
In 1936, a young Dean Martin (then Dino Crocetti) competed in and won a talent contest at the Capitol Theater in his hometown of Steubenville, Ohio. Sponsored by the local Hub Department Store, the contest featured performers judged by Major Bowes' traveling amateur hour troupe.
While he was already singing in local Ohio clubs at age 17, this contest served as a key early milestone in his journey before he went on to sign with Capitol Records in 1948 and eventually conquer Hollywood and Las Vegas.
