About Mitzi Hajos

As a young teenager she performed in music hall shows in Europe. At age 20, she moved to the United States at the invitation of William Morris to appear in Barnyard Romeo, a show she had performed in Vienna. From 1914 to 1925, she worked exclusively for opera producer Henry Wilson Savage. She was often described as "tiny" and "diminutive", and often played children or characters pretending to be children. A reviewer in the New York Times approved, saying, "she makes such an adorable boy, too. Because her surname was difficult for American audiences, she went by the single name "Mitzi" in programs and publicity materials at the peak of her career.
