All that can presently (August 2021) be gleaned about Madie Scott from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she is featured on 11 works published between 1905 and 1919.According to the Internet source given below, Percy L. Day writing of her recorded:
.... What is more, as a sand dancer, Miss Maidie Scott, who is 22, with a ripe and wide versatility acquired in drama, pantomime, music-hall business, etc., is par excellence
