Day, Edith (1896–1971), actress and singer. The beautiful, round‐faced, dark‐haired performer, who was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, made her stage debut in 1915. By 1917 she was the leading lady of
Going Up!, then scored a huge success in the title role of
Irene (1919), in which she introduced “Alice Blue Gown.” Day enjoyed further acclaim in
Orange Blossoms (1922), in which she sang “A Kiss in the Dark,” and in
Wildflower (1923), introducing “Bambalina.” For many years thereafter she was one of London's leading musical stars, earning the title of Queen of Drury Lane.
