Whether she is related to J. Fred Helf or not is yet to be established. Her portrait on the left is taken from Gee, But It's Great to Meet a Friend From Your Home Town (1910) music by James McGavisk, words by William Tracey and published by J. Fred Helf, New York, USA. The cover of which describes her as "Vaudeville's New Star Dainty Sadie Helf".
