How could it be dead in the 1930’s?

I’d know the name as soon as I see it. Can you help?

She became a good friend. I was shocked and very saddened to hear of her untimely death and still wonder about the details. Would be grateful to know more at any time. She was an admirable person and friend.
Thank you

I love this and I am so happy I happened upon your blog. We must connect. I’m a traditionally published author, and I write about my journey from corporate attorney to burlesque dancer. I am passionate about all things burlesque and vaudeville and I’d truly love to chat. Happy to give you a download for my book as well, but not in a public space, New World Library would throttle me! 🙂

Yes: definitely. Too bad film technology didn’t come along when vaudeville was first popular. Then my family might have been able to see my great-grandparents perform on state, decades later. Thanks for the comment.

Tried to post link, but the article is not available on the on-line edition of the Globe, just the printed edition and the e-edition of the newspaper.
