Grace Cornell is one of Stanford's cousins, in the Cornell family that is related on his father's mother's side, although I'm not exactly sure how.
Stanford doesn't tell us the bill of fare at Proctor's that night, but we have the newspaper article showing all the many acts that night, including musical numbers, comedy acts, and the film, Boy Crazy:

Doris May was a popular young silent film actress at the time. She was two years younger than Stanford. Here is her picture:
Also included in the night's entertainment was a concert by the (then) famed accordionist, Pietro Frosini. Here is a YouTube recording of a concert he performed in 1941, nearly 20 years later.
