description: "Eva Tanguay was a Canadian singer and entertainer who billed herself as \"the girl who made vaudeville famous\". She was known as \"The Queen of Vaudeville\" during the height of her popularity from the early 1900s until the early 1920s. Tanguay also appeared in films, and was the first performer to achieve national mass-media celebrity, with publicists and newspapers covering her tours from coast-to-coast, out-earning the likes of contemporaries Enrico Caruso and Harry Houdini at one time, and being described by Edward Bernays, \"the father of public relations\", as \"our first symbol of emergence from the Victorian age.\""
