Grace La Rue (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Grace La Rue (April 23, 1882 - March 13, 1956) was an American actress, singer, and Vaudeville headliner. Grace La Rue was born in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1882 to Mrs. Lucy L. Parsons. La Rue was a stage name, more exotic than her original surname of Parsons. She began her career as part of the team Burke and La Rue, with her first husband Charles Burke. One of their numbers was a minstrel piece entitled "Grace La Rue and her Inky Dinks." She soon broke away from the act - and Burke - to appear in musical comedy.
