She appeared in 15 Broadway musicals from 1904-1922, including one by Kern,
one by Friml, one by Victor Herbert. Her later marriage was to actor
Conway Tearle, whose father was (of all people) cornetist Jules Levy. She
appeared in films sporadically in small roles. The last was in 1950. She
died in 1971 at 88. The home in which she lived with Tearle now has landmark
status.

"Instead of "Mammy", Jakie sings "Mammy O Mine" (1919)...the "talk back"
session (as they are
called) I played the Adele Rowland Victor of the song. You can hear it on
the
National Juke Box site and also on the Victor discography site"
I've loved that song, and artist, ever since I was about seven years old
and discovered Adele's record in a Victrola at a summer cottage in Sharon,
CT.
Since then I've obtained the rest of her Victor releases (therer were four
I believe) and a Columbia "Hesitaton Blues."
I really like "When the Preacher Makes You Mine..."
She was married to Charles Ruggles and had a career on Broadway. And a
voice that to me was so reflective of that era.
