If I'm not mistaken, she was the landlady who let Clayton, Jackson, and Durante stay in her boardinghouse for months on end when they were having trouble making payments, and she didn't hound them (too much) for the rent. Of the three, Durante was the one who eventually made it big, and he kept a slot on his show for Eddie(?) Jackson (Clayton was gone by then) so he could get him a paycheck once a year, anyway...and he never forgot to acknowledge Mrs. Calabash, even after she became the late Mrs. Calabash.

Unless of course it's all an Urban Myth, because it makes a good story.

Now where were we? UNTROD, was it?
