Notes and references

Notes

^ Charles Davis aka C. Columbus Davis (1894–1963), when he died, was living in Englewood, New Jersey, at 111 Reis Avenue. His big break came as a principal dancer in Shuffle Along, after which, he rapidly rose to notability as a choreographer at the Apollo and Lafayette Theatres in Harlem. He and his wife, Cecile (1898–1975), had two daughters, Meta J. Davis (1919–2012) and Anna L. Davis (1921–2016) (Duke Ellington's Music for the Theatre, by John Childs Franceschina, McFarland & Company, 2000, p. 14; OCLC 469316674)
^ Addison Carey (likely a pseudonym; 1899–1952) was initially a dancer and bass singer; he became a prominent choreographer and producer of musical reviews, notably at the Harlem Opera House and the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem from the mid-1920s to the late 1940s; He often collaborated with Charles Davis, also a choreographer; the Lafayette, owned and operated by Frank Schiffman (1893–1974), was at the time Harlem's flagship vaudeville theatre
