Moved this portion of text relating to parents

[edit]

Ive moved the following chunk of text out of the article. Ive read it and re-read it and it does not assist the reader, although her parents life is of passing interest.Nickm57 (talk) 11:42, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In 1887 she (Elizabeth) joined Frank M. Clark's Silk Stocking Company. Frederick William Busch was a member of the Company's orchestra. Elizabeth and William were married on 6 February 1888 in Brisbane, Queensland, between performances. Elizabeth did one season of opera with mixed reviews and William featured in touring bands and orchestras as well as in special acts such as the Paragon Trio.[1][2]

As Dora Busch, Elizabeth was part of the Grand Opera Quartet, making her American debut on 14 February 1897 at the Orpheum Theatre.[3] Towards the end of 1897 the family moved to the East Coast.[4] William Busch performed with the Paragon Trio (renamed Lelliott Busch & Lelliott) at the Drexel Theatre in Chicago on 13 November 1897.[5]
