19393147771939. 8 x 10 inches. Small blemish at upper right colored-in two old mounts on verso otherwise fine. 8 x 10 inches. Inscribed photograph of African-American television theater and film pioneer Ethel Waters 1896-1977 depicting her in one of her most famous roles and inscribed: "To Alice with the same devotion Hagar has for Lissa and you have for Natalie I have for you Ethel Waters." The photograph shows Waters as Hagar in the Broadway production of Mamba's Daughters 1939 a role which was adapted specifically for her by Dorothy and Dubose Hayward from their novel of the same name; it has been cited as the first dramatic starring role for an African-American actress ANB. On June 14 1939 Waters became the first African-American to host a television program when NBC broadcast "The Ethel Waters Show" a one-hour variety program which included a scene from Mamba's Daughters. <br /> The Alice of the inscription is Alice D. Laughlin 1895-1952 muralist engraver and designer who co-founded with designer Natalie Hays Hammond 1904-1985 the Stage Alliance which produced "Six Miracle Plays" directed by and starring Martha Graham at the Guild Theater in 1933. Hammond and Laughlin together with Phyillis Connard constituted a small colony of women artists in Gloucester Massachusetts at the Hammond compound designed by architect Eleanor Raymond. <br /> Ethel Waters first made a name for herself as a blues singer on the club circuit; her stage career began when Irving Berlin cast her in As Thousands Cheer 1933 after hearing her perform "Stormy Weather" at the Cotton Club. In 1949 she became the second African-American to be nominated for an Academy Award Best Supporting Actress for her role in Pinky. WITH: Autograph letter unsigned 6 pp to Natalie Hammond unknown

We have no record player so have not attempted to play either side of this record. Ethel Waters was the star vocalist on the Black Swan label. She was "born again" after attending a Billy Graham Crusade in 1957 and often sang "His Eye is on the Sparrow" and perhaps other songs but probably neither of the songs on this record at Billy Graham Crusades during the last two decades of her life.
