Nine year old Edna White of Brooklyn is hailed as the era's champion cornetist. The prodigy has risen beyond musicians much older, drawing attention from bands, orchestras, society leaders, and churches who seek her services for banquets and receptions.

Edna is small, dark haired, with brown eyes, and her first $50 funded her current cornet.
