Bio
MISS ISABELLE PATRICOLA
(1886-1965)
was popular on radio, records and in vaudeville.
Her stage appearances billed her as "The Queen Of The Cabaret" and
"The Shining Star Of Vaudeville". Her personality and jazz style comes
through very clearly in these recordings. Her recordings are filled with
a
great deal of excitement.
She performed singing and playing the violin in her vaudeville act.
Early appearances can be traced to Green Mill Gardens, Chicago in June
1914.
She was a star attraction there with her 25 piece orchestra until 1917
when she left
to tour the Pantages and later Keith - Orpheum vaudeville circuit.
Reviewers praised Isabelle for “palpitating the audience”.
Her dynamic presentation made her a big hit with vaudeville audiences.
She also performed at the Palace, the Hippodrome, Loews State Theater,
the 81th street theater and in London at the Palladium.
She continued to perform in all the major vaudeville theaters into the
early 1930’s
when most closed down and became movie houses.
She retired in 1935 and opened a Hygienic Phone Service business with her
husband, Walter Morris. This was very successful and provided them with a
good income.
Isabelle died from a stroke on May 23rd 1965 at age 79.
We are fortunate
that she had a successful recording career and recorded many popular songs
during her career that lasted from 1919 to 1929.
She recorded for PATHÉ, EDISON, VICTOR AND VOCALION.
This CD preserves all of her VICTOR releases and her 1st sides recorded
for VOCALION.
