I did not know Myrtis, but my mother Mary Griffiths Sox received an autographed picture from Myrtis in ca. 1929 inscribed "To Cousin Mary with Love and Best Wishes. Affectionately, Myrtis, “Susan”-- Desert Song, 1927-28." Myrtis was the GGG grandniece of my mother's maternal grandmother, by her paternal grandmother, Mary T. Ellard, who married Thomas Benton Estep, a prominent attorney of St. Louis, MO. Myrtis married twice, first to Gordon S. Mitchell in the mid 1930, a pioneering film sound engineer in Hollywood, and then to Frank Charles Breuning in about 1946, in Los Angeles.
