Last updated: 08.06.24
p_blackiea.jpgAll that can presently (June 2022) be gleaned about Amy Blackie from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was an Australian contralto, soubrette and actress who has been featured on 8 works published between 1900 and 1920.
Her portrait on the left is taken from Drummer Boy (191-) music by Joe Slater, and published by D. Davis & Co. Music Publishers, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

This list is derived from information provided by Monologues.co.uk which went down sometime in 2023.
The loss of this valuable resource is very sad and a mystery.
