Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Josephine Hall (née Josephine Allen; born January 1890 Denver – DOD not known) was a mezzo-soprano. On June 15, 1918, she married Efbert E. Hall (1893–1932), a trombonist and former sideman with (i) Charles Elgar's Creole Orchestra and (ii) the Ringling Circus Band, under the direction of Roy Pope. Bert was an active member in the New York City Musicians' Union, Local 802. He also founded, in 1927, the Rhythm Club in Manhattan, which flourished when the Clef Club was in decline. Josephine Hall remarried on June 17, 1937, in Manhattan to Charles Rufus Smith. In addition to performing in Rang Tang, she was frequent star of the Cotton Club and was in the casts of Keep Shufflin' (1928) as Ruth; Music Hath Charms (1934) in an ensemble; and The Hot Mikado (1939) as singer. Beginning around 1929, she was a frequent vocalist on the radio, which included performances with Duke Ellington.
