Married at one time to Bob Adams (d. 1948), one of the singing duo "The
Two Bobs", an American novelty team which traveled to England in 1912
and started a new rage for ragtime, introducing such songs as
"Alexander's Ragtime Band" and "Casey Jones". The
Ivor Novello revue
"Tabs" (1918), which starred Odette and
Beatrice Lillie in London,
included some of Adams' music. Among his novelty songs are "Not
Because Your Hair is Curly" and "The Burning of Frisco Town" (both
1906) and "Oh! You Candy Kid" (1909).
