Below: Alice Arnold:, and Frieda Aufderheide.

Althoff, Edith.
By 1920 the technically difficult novelty rag, or novelty piano music, was the rage, more frequently played at home from a roll on the immensely popular player piano than executed by the average player from a printed sheet. Performer/entertainer and composer Edith Althoff specialized in novelty piano solos.

Aufderheide, Frieda.
(Born, May 8th, 1889; died, Seymour, Indiana, October, 1972.) Frieda Aufderheide was not May Aufderheide's sister (see below), but given the last name, she was probably related somehow. All we currently know about Frieda Aufderheide is that she was a piano teacher in Seymour, Indiana, and that she performed in the 1920s with a group called "The American Entertainers," which included Molly Keller, piano, and Mayme Anderson Cox, reader and impersonator, the three under the direction of Edith Mildred Eagleston. A surviving flyer for the group in the collection of the University of Iowa, Iowa City, describes Miss Aufderheide thus:
Freida Aufderhiede, violinist, has been appearing in public recitals since ten years of age. She is a finished musician of the Metropolitan School of Music, Indianapolis, and has successfully studied under the leading teachers of America. Miss Auferheide's playing has a charm and sympathy that reaches the heart; a free and masterful style of rendition, her exquisite purity of tone, genuine artistry and intelligent interpretation make for her success.
