Ruth Etting
Vocalist, Costume Designer
(1897 - 1978)
Ruth Etting was born in David City, Nebraska. After graduating from high school she moved to Chicago and attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts where she studied costume design. Her design experience led her to work as a chorus girl at the Marigold Gardens in Chicago. Etting parlayed her chorus girl position into that of singer. She was soon billed as “The Sweetheart of Chicago,” and Florenz Ziegfeld called her “the greatest singer of songs.” The public agreed and she was voted radio’s top female singer.
Etting helped popularize “You’re the Cream in My Coffee” (1923), “Love Me or Leave Me” (1928), “Mean to Me” (1929), “Ten Cents a Dance” (1930)

Ruth Etting
Ruth Etting (November 23, 1896 – September 24, 1978) was an American singer and actress of the 1920s and 1930s, who had over 60 hit recordings and worked in stage, radio, and film. Known as "America's sweetheart of song", her signature tunes were "Shine On, Harvest Moon", "Ten Cents a Dance" and "Love Me or Leave Me".
As a young girl in Nebraska, Etting had wanted to become an artist; she drew and sketched all the time. At sixteen, her grandparents decided to send her to art school in Chicago. While Etting attended class, she found a job at the Marigold Gardens nightclub; after a short time there, Etting gave up art classes in favor of a career in show business. Etting, who enjoyed singing in school and church, never took voice lessons. She quickly became a featured vocalist at the club. Etting was then managed by Moe Snyder, whom she married in 1922. Snyder made arrangements for Etting's recording and film contracts as well as her personal and radio appearances. She became nationally known when she appeared in Flo Ziegfeld's Follies of 1927.
