WILKIE BARD
The popular vaudeville performer and singer of the early 1900s signs
his name on this card
Autograph sentiment signed: "Yours sincerely/Wilkie Bard" in
blue ink. 3x1¾. Wilkie Bard (1874-1944), born William August Smith,was a British vaudeville and music hall entertainer at the beginning of the
20th century. He is best known for his songs "I Want to Sing in Opera" and
"The Night Watchman."
Bard began performing at age 21, singing and performing comedy in
his spare time. He most often appeared with a bald head and wore a black spot on
each eyebrow. He also performed as female characters, specifically with
his hit song "I Want to Sing in Opera." He had a long career in pantomime,
and introduced tongue twisters such as "She sells seashells by the
seashore," based on a song he performed in the show "Dick Whittington and
His Cat" in 1908. Bard performed in vaudeville in 1919. His first appearance at
the Palace, on October 20, 1919, was not well received, but he reappeared a few
days later with slightly altered material and became a hit. In 1928, Bard
appeared in two short films made in the sound-on-film Phonofilm process, The
Cleaner and The Night Watchman. Toned and soiled. Ink note
(unknown hand) in bottom right corner. Edges irregular. Otherwise, fine
condition.
