Elizabeth M. Murray (1870-1946)

Overview

It is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of compositions located. All that can presently (June 2023) be gleaned about Elizabeth M. Murray from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American actress/singer who has been featured on 26 works published between 1899 and 1919. She is reported to have made appearances on the vaudeville circuit as well as on Broadway
Her portrait on the left is taken from Neutral Is My Middle Name (1915) words & music by Jack Frost, co-author James White, and published by Frank K. Root and Co., Chicago, Illinois, USA.
