Lotta Miles

"Beauty", the Leading Lady of I'll Say She Is, was originally played by Muriel Hudson, but when the show reached Broadway, Carlotta (Lotta) Miles got the part. Born Florence Reutti, Lotta Miles adopted her stagename as a punning contribution to an advertising campaign by the Kelly Tyre company. Research by Dave O'Malley shows that she was known as the Kelly Tyre-girl as early as 1919. Lotta Miles appeared in one movie, Waterfront Lady in 1935, a film which also featured Robert Emmett O'Connor and Purnell Pratt, i.e. Detective Henderson and the Mayor in A Night At The Opera. Ms Reutti/Miles died of a heart attack in Hollywood on July 25, 1937. Here's an obituary from Hamilton Journal - The Daily News, provided by Robert Moulton.
