Grace Cameron

Grace Cameron was born on August 1, 1879 (with the name Grace Kerr) in Storm Lake, Iowa. The comic singer joined the famous touring group called The Bostonians and was in Robin Hood, playing the role of Maid Marian. She recorded five titles issued on two-minute Edison Standard cylinders and four issued on four-minute wax Amberols. "Adam and Eve" (Amberol 136) and "Whose Baby Girl Are You?" (Standard 10265) had been introduced by Cameron in the 1908 show The Pied Piper. 
She was probably a mezzo-soprano though Edison literature identified her only as "comedienne. "In the June 1970 issue of Hobbies, Jim Walsh reports that she was the first theatrical performer to pay, in 1905, for advertising in Variety. 
The date of her death is unknown. Walsh states in the August 1973 issue of Hobbies that Cameron was said to be living in Long Beach, California, in retirement in the early 1960s.
