Marion Evelyn Cox
Last updated: 12.09.24
p_coxme.jpgAll that can presently (May 2022) be gleaned about Marion Evelyn Cox from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American contralto.
According to the Internet source given below, she made at least 47 recordings between 1917 and 1922 on a number of different labels. It is surprising, given this output, that so little is known about her.

Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
