Mildred West, professionally known as Beverly Arden, was an American torch singer. Beverly mostly performed in live concerts; however, she made some recordings and appeared in one film, the German documentary Gala der Schallplatte (1967). She was the sister of the actress Mae West.

Mildred was born in 1898. She was the daughter of John West and Matilda Doelger.

She was married to Sergei Treshatny on January 29, 1917 in Brooklyn. An inventor, Treshatny had arrived in the U.S. by 1916. It's not clear how long they remained a couple, as Serge later often appears in censuses and other records as living alone. In 1924, Beverly tried to divorce Serge; however, when it appeared that she would not receive an adequate settlement, the case lapsed.

A decade later, when Mae and Beverly were arrested in Bridgeport, Connecticut on February 2, 1927, Sergei took advantage of the scandal and got a divorce, which was granted by Supreme Court Justice George H. Taylor, Jr. in Newburgh, New York in 1927.

She was married to her manager, Vladimir Eugene Baikoff on January 8, 1934 in Chicago. He was also known as Robert Balkoff and Robert Duval. He was the son of Eugene Balkoff and Elizabeth Panteleeff.

Beverly passed away in 1982. Her remains were interred at Cypress Hills Cemetery in Brooklyn in the West Family Crypt.
