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.
