Lillian Lorraine
Last updated: 08.06.25
It is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of items located. All that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about Lillian Lorraine 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 1909 and 1914. Her portrait on the left is taken from Up, Up, Up in My Aeroplane (1909) music by Gus Edwards, words by Edward Madden and published by The Gus Edwards Music Pub. Co., .
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.

The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
