All that can presently (July 2025) be gleaned about Shelton Bentley from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American actress/singer who has been featured on 5 works published between 1925 and 1926.
Her portrait on the left is taken from If I Hadn't You (1926) music by Albert von Tilzer, words by Neville Fleeson and published by Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York & Detroit, USA.

 

The Billboard (May 30, 1925) has the following article;
Reviewed at B. S. Moss' Franklin Theater, New York. Style - Singing. Setting - In one. Time -Fourteen minutes.
With a few changes in the routine which Shelton Bentley offered for her single when she "showed" for one day at this house, she should find no difficulty in pleasing the average audience. Miss Bentley has a pleasing soprano voice, but she does not get the full benefit of its qualities until the latter part of her offering, when she offers some better-class numbera While it is good policy to have popular songs in an act of this kind. Miss Bentley's voice isn't adapted to that type of number. High-class ballads and classic songs would be the proper material for her. One popular syncopated number wouldn't be amiss in the early part of the act, but not as many as she has.
