p_comeri.jpgIt is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of compositions located. All that can presently (June 2022) be gleaned about Imogene Comer from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was an American vaudeville performer, billed as "Queen Regent of Song", who has been featured on 15 works published between 1894 and 1910.
Her portrait on the left is taken from A Hero Till Judgement Day! (1897) words & music by Monroe H. Rosenfeld, and published by Jos. W. Stern & Co., New York, USA.
