Alice Joy

Toronto Daily Star, January 3 1933

Alice Joy, whose given name was Frances Holcombe, appeared on radio throughout the 1930s. Her show was titled Alice Joy, the Dream Singer, and Time magazine once stated that her voice had "a saxophone quality so deep that it might be a man's". I couldn't find out anything about what happened to her after she stopped singing on the radio.

This link indicates that her show was sponsored by Prince Albert tobacco. ("Have you got Prince Albert in a can?")

Created August 20, 2025.
