Maxine Sullivan - one of great singers of a swing era - was discovered while singing at the Benjamin Harrison Literary Club in Pittsburg by Gladys Mosier. Mosier was, in the mid 1930's, working in Ina Rae Hutton's big band and an acquaitance of pianist Claude Thornhill. She soon introduced Maxine to Thornhill with whom she made her first recording in 1937 ("Loch Lomond"). Unfortunately, she did not record many sides. In 1940s she co-hosted a nation-wide radio program called Flow Gently Sweet Rhythm - the show that featured African-American performers. In 1953 she became a nurse, to return to music a few years later as a flugelhorn and a trombone player.
The song "L'Heure Bleu" (English title: "The Hour Of Parting")was one of the great cabaret hits in Berlin in 1928. Composed by Mischa Spolianski (who was, by the way, born in Bialystok, Poland) it was first performed by Margo Lion, to become soon an international "decadent" evergreen.
Recording: Maxine Sullivan - The Hour Of Parting, Columbia, 1940

If you like the Golden entertainment of the 1920s, you might like Brendan McNally's dark comic novel "Germania" (Simon & Schuster, 2009), about the Flying Magical Loerber Brothers, four somewhat magical, Jewish vaudeville entertainers and onetime child stars who were the toast of Berlin before WWII and who reunite during the surreal, three-week "Flensburg Reich" of Admiral Doenitz, Hitler's very unlucky successor.
