Helen Morgan
Toronto Daily Star, March 23 1929
Helen Morgan (1900-1941) was a singer and actress. She was best known for the role of Julie LaVerne in several movie and stage versions of Show Boat.
I could not find anything on Ms. Morgan adopting a girl in 1929, but I did discover that she had given up a child for adoption in 1926. She died young, of cirrhosis of the liver.
There are some recordings of Ms. Morgan on YouTube, including "Why Was I Born?" (1929).
