- TriviaBecause she never made any commercial recordings, the sound of her singing voice may be lost forever, unless the few films that she did make are eventually found. This is not true of Howard Marsh, Helen Morgan, and Jules Bledsoe, all of whom appeared with her in the 1927 production of "Show Boat". (Marsh, however, recorded selections from Gilbert and Sullivan operettas only, not music from "Show Boat".)
