: I don't believe that Nora Bayes played harmonica, but she was a once-upon-a-time famous performer. I think that she was a song-and-dance star of the vaudeville circuit, who was associated with Florenz Ziegfeld (1869-1932), best known for his Ziegfeld Follies. Sorry, but all that I could find about Ms.Bays, on short notice, was in a 1991 almanac. She was born in 1880 and died in 1928. Hope that this helps.
