Anna Case (October 29, 1888 – January 7, 1984; aged 95) was an American soprano. She recorded with Thomas Alva Edison, who used her voice extensively in "tone tests" of whether a live audience could tell the difference between the actual singer and a recording. In addition to recordings for Edison Records on both phonograph cylinder and Diamond Disc, Case recorded for Victor and Columbia Records, and made sound film for Vitaphone. BiographyShe was born on October 29, 1888, in Clinton, New Jersey.[1] She sang in the American premiere of Boris Godunov in 1913 at the Metropolitan Opera.[2] In 1919 Case appeared in the silent drama film The Hidden Truth (1919).[3] She also appeared in documentaries about sound recording. In 1930, before retiring in the same year, she recorded "Just Awearyin' for You" by Frank Lebby Stanton and Carrie Jacobs-Bond.[4] In 1931, she married ITT Corporation executive Clarence Mackay.[5] Upon her death on January 7, 1984, in New York City, she bequeathed her 167.97-carat (33.59 g) Colombian emerald ring and Boucheron necklace to the Smithsonian Institution.[6] References1. ^Slusher, Jon.
