Dolly Kay was a vaudeville and cabaret singer who started performing sometime around 1920 on the Orpheum circuit accompanied by pianist Phil Phillips. According to an article that appeared in the September 28th, 1923 issue of the Los Angeles Times Dolly Kay was a stenographer who was living in New York City with her parents.

After seeing her first vaudeville performance she was so affected and inspired that she introduced herself to a vaudeville agent who gave her a tryout and he immediately hired her as a vaudeville singer. This story may or may not be true, but Dolly Kay continued to be a popular vaudeville and cabaret singer throughout the 1920s and early 1930s. Dolly Kay's solo recording career spanned the years 1921 to 1928.

The last mention I've been able to find of Dolly Kay performing was at the Knights of Columbus Music Hall in Los Angeles on April 18th, 1965. The French Canadian Club presented "Fifi D'Orsay's Ruby Jubilee," a variety show honoring the stage and screen star's 40th year in show business, at the Knights of Columbus music hall.
