Betsy Lane Shepherd (1882-1955)
Last updated: 06.11.24
Betsy Lane Shepherd was presumably an American soprano. It is really surprising, considering the at least 149 recordings made between 1916 and 1929, that so little can be found in the Internet about her. Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
