Re: Lady Cantors

One of the greats. Sponsored by  "Planter's High Hat Peanut Oil" Sheyndele 
was a circuit riding Lady Cantor who performed regularly on WEVD and WDAS in 
Philly . Sadly, for all of her prolific performing there are no surviving 
examples of her radio work. Ditto Goldie Mae Stiner who was billed as "The 
Only Colored Lady Cantor in America"!
