All that can presently (May 2024) be gleaned about
Olive Briscoe from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American actress/singer who has been featured on just one work namely
Honey (1921) wordss & music by
Milton Ager.
A brief article published by Variety on 20th May, 1911 records:
Olive Briscoe makes several costume changes, finishing in a close-fitting cerise gown covered with crystals that is beautiful. Miss Briscoe is a recruit from the legitimate. She performs three songs, interspersed with talk. Between verses she told of the differences at the ball game and in the nursery.The tall, handsome brunette has a very pleasing personality. Her best number was "Not Like The Days of 1861." The chorus has a pretty melody. Her work is very much appreciated.
Her portrait on the left is taken from the J. Willis Sayre Collection of Theatrical Photographs.
