Full title:Mary Kageyama, Song Bird of Manzanar, and her younger sister, Tillie, at the piano, have relocated in Pasadena,
and are living at 148 N. Vernon. Mary is a contralto favoring torch songs, and likes Night and Day the best. Mary and Tillie
came to Pasadena January 30, 1945. They had lived in Venice before. Known as the Song Bird of Manzanar, Mary has been noted
for her singing since she was 14. She is now 18 and Tillie is 15. She likes Pasadena, and finds everyday life normal and congenial.
Mary is engaged to Shiro Nomura and expects to set the wedding day soon. I like the mountain setting at Manzanar, she says.
She met her fiance there on Thanksgiving Day, 1944. He is working at Cal Tech on the guayule project, and so is Mary's brother
Frank.<lb/> Photographer: Mace, Charles E.<lb/> Pasadena, California.
