President Woodrow Wilson's daughter, Margaret, singing "The Star Spangled Banner" in a promotion benefitting the Red Cross relief effort in Europe.
Wilson's signature is also etched into the wax. The record was placed in Columbia's regular popular series and remained in the catalogue for several years.
Margaret Woodrow Wilson (1886-1944) was President Wilson's first of three daughters by his first marriage. She was born in Georgia, attended Goucher College in Baltimore, and trained in voice and piano at the Peabody Institute of Music. The soprano debuted with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in Syracuse in 1915 and performed at camps and benefits for the Red Cross all during World War I. Wilson retired from singing in 1923 to work at an advertising agency. In later years, she turned to Indian mysticism. She died of uremic poisoning in a religious community in India at the age of 57.
