She sings most any type of song, from popular to classic. Plays several different instruments, without a bit of static. She dances some, and whistles, too; while acting many a part. She does them all, and each one well; so versatile is her art.
THE ONE GIRL SHOW AT ITS BEST
• Internationally known as Just an American Girl, ANITA SKY EYES has at various times been designated The Variety Girl, Miss Versatility, and other equally descriptive appellations.
• Born and raised in Missouri of English, Scotch, Welsh, and Cherokee ancestry; on her father's side a descendant of the family that gave us Mary Ball, the mother of George Washington; she is a graduate of the South West Teachers' College, Springfield, Missouri.
• Soon after graduation Miss Sky Eyes started on a professional career that has taken her into every State of the Union, every Province of Canada, and many Counties of England.
• Her experience covers most every branch of the entertainment world—Cabaret, Chatauqua, Circus, Concert, Dramatic Stock, Lyceum, Musical Comedy, Radio, and Vaudeville.
• A versatile musical characterist, she presents (and presents creditably) songs with her own accordion, guitar, or piano accompaniment; novel pianologs; dramatic and humorous readings; whistling, harmonica, and accordion solos; and a series of character studies set to music that is native to the character offered.
• Her program for children is a delight. Specially produced for Grade or Junior High Schools it is both entertaining and instructive, winning her young audience from the start and holding them without a yawn or nod until its finish.
• As Sonia of the Circus, Miss Sky Eyes has been heard over more than a hundred Radio Stations in the United States and Canada.
• Recently she has been in much demand as a speaker. Having an excellent speaking voice, she gives a most interesting and informative lecture, Twenty Years a Trouper, based on her experience as an entertainer here and abroad.
• All this the lady does supremely well, with an artistry and personality that literally carries her audience along with her. She loves her audiences; gives them all she has, and there is a ring of sincerity in all she does.
• Here is talent, ability, and experience all wrapped up in one charming package, available for one of your programs.
An accomplished entertainer in every sense of the word.
