Dorothy Meuther
Last updated: 30.11.25
It is surprising that so little is known about this performer considering the large number of items located. All that can presently (February 2025) be gleaned about Dorothy Meuther from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American actress/singer who has been featured on 14 works published between 1915 and 1917. Her portrait on the left is taken from He May Be Old, But He's Got Young Ideas (1916) words & music by Howard E. Johnson, Alex Gerber & Harry Jentes and published by Leo Feist, New York, USA.
Surfers are welcome to contribute any further information about this performer.
