Ila Grannon
Last updated: 20.10.23
p_grannoni.jpgIt is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of items located. All that can presently (October 2023) be gleaned about Ila Grannon from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American actress/singer who has been featured on 11 works published between 1905 and 1910.
Her portrait on the left is taken from In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree (1905) music by Egbert A. van Alstyne, words by Harry Williams and published by Jerome H. Remick & Co., New York & Detroit, USA.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
