The O'Connor Sisters
Last updated: 22.04.24
All that can presently (July 2023) be gleaned about The O'Connor Sisters from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that they were presumably American actress/singers who have been featured on 10 works published between 1912 and 1927.The front cover of When That Midnight Choo-Choo Leaves For Alabam' (1912) words & music by Irving Berlin, and published by Ted Snyder Music Co., New York, USA shows three sisters. By 1924 however, the sisters were reduced to just two, namely Ann and Lillian.
Their portrait on the left is taken from Put Away a Little Ray of Golden Sunshine For a Rainy Day (1924) music by Frederick Emil Ahlert, words by Sam M. Lewis & Joe Young, published by Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Co., New York, USA.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about these performers.
