Photograph signed: "Yours Sincerely/Shirley Kellogg". B/w,
3½x5½ American actress and soprano Shirley Kellogg (b. 1888) starred in
four Broadway musicals between 1908 and 1912, and issued many early recordings
for Columbia. Her influence was greatest in Britain, however, where she did much
to popularize new music from across the Atlantic. In 1912, Kellogg starred in
Hullo Ragtime, with a script written by her husband, Albert de Courville.
The English musicians resisted playing in the ragtime style, some of them
declaring that it was "not music," but it proved a hit with London audiences.
Two years later, with Ethel Levey (George M. Cohan's wife) she appeared there in
Hullo Tango, popularizing the Argentinian dance craze. Apparently,
Kellogg also popularized another American innovation in Britain: the motor
scooter. Corners creased. Heavy mounting residue on verso. Signature in poor
contrast but legible. Otherwise, fine condition.
