Dixie Norton
Last updated: 04.11.25
All that can presently (July 2025) be gleaned about Dixie Norton from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American male impersonator who has been featured on 4 works published between 1913 and 1917.Her portrait on the left is taken from I Don't Want to (1913) words & music by A. Seymour Brown, and published by Broadway Music Corp., New York, USA.
The Billboard (August 5, 1922) provides the following review:
Majestic, Chicago ((Reviewed Monday Matinee, July 31)
Dixie Norton and Coral Melnotte presented a sort of singing, sketchy story, told in different scenes in which quick changes, curtain shifts, sentiment and dresses were used in a way that kept one guessing and well entertained. They went over very well.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
