Yes. But I've always thought that most modern show-singing, including Liza's, Dietrich's,, Aretha's, Stevie Wonder's, Menzel's, would fit that description. There was an operetta style of singing (think Helen Morgan and Heannette Mc Donald) and perhaps Sally is raw-er and more idiosyncratic than that, and perhaps that's what Isherwood meant.

Any chance you meant "Jeanette MacDonald"? [nmi]

Possibly- although it does seem pretty clear from the novella that Sally has no talent, but that her lack of awareness of it is part of her mystique.
