Mary Jordan (1879-1961)
Last updated: 18.10.24
All that can presently (October 2024) be gleaned about Mary Jordan from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that
she was presumably an American contralto who recorded at least 7 works between 1911 and 1917 on the Victor, Columbia and Edison labels. Her portrait on the left is taken from an article on her performing at the Century Theatre, New York.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
