p_handmane.jpgAll that can presently (September 2024) be gleaned about Edythe Handman, the sister of composer Lou Handman, from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American actress/singer who has been featured on 6 works published between 1922 and 1929. She also recorded two of her brother's works in 1927.
Her portrait on the left is taken from Beloved (1928) words & music by Gus Kahn, co-author Joe L. Sanders, and published by Irving Berlin Inc., New York, USA.
