Anyone have information on Alice Leslie Carter? Don't know if you consider her Blues or Jazz. Apparently she has no bio information online.

Yet another of the umpteen black female singers of early 20s who came and went. Many of these never saw reissue in modern times until Johnny Parth started releasing them in 1980s on Document LPs and then again on CD a decade later.
She recorded 11 songs for Arlo Records between August 1921 and November 1921 in NYC. She must have been popular, her songs were subsequently released on Globe, Bell and HT records.
Such singers from that era were usually from a vaudeville background and usually referred to as "vaudevillians", rather than blues or jazz.
No connection with Alice Carter who recorded two 78s for Okeh two years later.

Thanks Alan. Chris Smith has posted a few newspaper clippings from NY Age in 1914 that details some of her appearances. We can probably assume she was born somewhere in the last decade of the 19th century.
