==Early aptitude==
Manilla was one of six siblings born to Michael Powers, a harness maker, and his wife, Josephine, a dressmaker. In 1915, Manilla, aged 17, was selected as one of six female students chosen to represent Janesville High School in a triangular girl's debating league. She was class vice-president as a high school sophomore, won a recorder medal as a junior and graduated in 1916.〔(Profile ), hedbergpubliclibrary.org; accessed March 30, 2014.〕
Her first appearance as an entertainer was in March 1915. During the afternoon program of a meeting of the Janesville, Wisconsin Summer Club of Home Economics, she ''gave'' two songs. Powers sang ''Echoes of Love'' and ''Roses After Rain'' before an audience that was very receptive. She participated in the recital of Marguerite O'Brien in Rockford, Illinois the following November. Powers returned to Janesville from Chicago, Illinois in September 1917. She had studied music for several months under the tutelage of Karlton Hackett.
In November 1918 Powers and Alice Thomas performed songs at a bazaar in Janesville. It was organized to raise money for the Fatherless Children of France. In August 1919 Powers came back to her hometown, this time from New York City. She gave the second part of a program at the Janesville Country Club. Her teacher in New York forecast a bright future for Powers. She sang ''The Lord Is My Light'' during a service at the Janesville Baptist Church in 1919.
