Vaudeville singer who married Jody "Butterbeans" Edwards during a show in 1917 when a publicity agent offered them $50 to get married on stage at the Standard Theatre in Philadelphia. It started out as a joke for Jodie Edwards and Susie Hawthorne, but they stayed together for life.
As "Butterbeans and Susie," they were masters of the "hokum blues," sparring with each other on numbers like "My Daddy's Got the Mojo, But I Got the Say So" and "I Wanna Hot Dog for My Roll."
