Aunt Ebba, born 105 years ago today, who was she reallly?

 I found this today searching the web for family history info. My Aunt Ebba? Easy to definitely recognize her from this photo. But "Evangelist of Chicago?" "Dynamic Speaker-Talented Musician-Singer Converted to Christianity from the entertainment world?" I DO NOT remember any of this hype. I had heard her play piano and sing and I was not impressed even as a little kid.  A cousin once told me she played the piano in a bar. Maybe, but that is hardly the "entertainment world".

Sat Nov 1, 1952 pg 5

Hmmm. Another bit of info I wish I knew more about. Some more investigation needed, for sure.
