Dear Marek,
I depends where you look.
The "Cara" given in discographies, (Rust, etc.) is wrong.
His real was name was Mancy Carr, born in 1899 and died 10 February 1946.
Confirmed back in the 1970s to John Chilton by Louis Armstrong. 
And shown on a captioned publicity photograph of the Carroll Dickerson Orchestra.
Refer page 44 of 'The World Od Earl Hines' by Stanley Dance.
Or check this YoTube video at 1:15.

Bill.
