Dawn [Tout], Hazel (1891–1988), singer and actress. The “dewy‐eyed blonde” was born in Ogden City, Utah, studied violin and singing in Europe, and made her theatrical debut in London. Her first American assignment was her most memorable: the demimondaine Claudine in
The Pink Lady (1911), in which she introduced “My Beautiful Lady,” both singing it and playing it on the violin. Dawn was featured in the musicals
The Little Cafe (1913),
The Debutante (1914), and
The Century Girl (1916), then displayed her farceur talents as Mabel Essington in
Up in Mabel's Room (1919), Gertie Darling in
Getting Gertie's Garter (1921), and the temperamental actress Gloria Graham in
The Demi‐Virgin (1921). After touring in the
Ziegfeld Follies of 1923, Dawn appeared in three more revues,
Nifties of 1923,
Keep Kool (1924), and
Great Temptations (1926), before making her last appearance in
Wonder Boy (1931).
