Last updated: 04.05.21
According to the Internet source given below, Clarice Vance (née Clara Etta Black ) was an American vaudeville performer from the late 1890's to about 1917 born in Ohio. Billed as "The Southern Singer" she sang ragtime and dialect (coon) songs as a solo artist and was also active in farce comedy.
She was married to Mose Gumble, songwriter and manager of Jerome H. Remick & Co. between 1904 and 1917. Gumble wrote Mariar (1905), her most popular song which she recorded at least 3 different versions. She played in the Broadway musical, A Skylark as well as in London at the London Palace on a 26-week appearance.
Her career waned in the mid 1920's and is reported to have been living in San Francisco as a "dramatic coach".
She died in Napa, California.
