PHIL BAKER
The Broadway actor and radio host pens a gracious note for the world famous Hildegarde, praising her as "Hilde'god'"
Autograph Note signed: "For 'Hilde'god' who/ gives happiness to all/who are in need of /'spiritual vitamins'./Phil Baker". 1948 November 18. Several unidentified signatures on verso. American comedian and songwriter Phil Baker (1896-1963) began on vaudeville stages before becoming a popular radio personality. He had his own radio series, The Armour Jester, and later hosted The $64 Dollar Question. He appeared in several Broadway musicals. Loretta Sell Hildegarde (1906-2005), popularly known by her last name only or simply as "the incomparable Hildegarde" was thought by many to be European, although she was born in Wisconsin. A classically trained pianist who played in vaudeville from 1926, she emerged as a popular singer in the 1930s and 1940s with hits that included "Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup" (written by her manager, Anna Sosenko), "The Last Time I Saw Paris" and "I'll Be Seeing You." She also had a popular radio program, Hildegarde's Raleigh Room. Hildegarde continued to perform to great acclaim in nightclubs until age 89, when she decided it wasn't fun anymore.
