Grace Hazard (May 24, 1875 — 1957), also seen as Grace Hazzard, was an American singer and actress in musical theatre and vaudeville.

Early life

Lucia Grace Hazard was from St. Louis, Missouri,[1][2] the daughter of William B. Hazard (1843-1888) and Gertrude Maude Holmes Hazard (1847-1914).[3] Her father was a veteran of the American Civil War and a medical doctor, who was superintendent of the St. Louis Insane Asylum and a professor at the medical college in that city. Her parents were both born in Vermont. She had an older brother, Robert H. Hazard (1869-1912), who became a journalist and novelist.[4][5]

Career

As an actress, Hazard appeared in Babes in Toyland, as "Angela" in Florodora (1902),[6] and starred in The Parisian Model (1909), on a tour of American and Canadian cities.[7][8] She toured with the Grau Opera Company in 1901, and sang with the Valley Opera Company of Syracuse, New York for two summers.[6]

Her vaudeville act, "Five Feet of Comic Opera" (1907),[9] involved "exceptionally dainty"[10] Hazard singing songs from various operas, with monologues and costume changes between songs, without leaving the stage.[11]

Hazard acquired a set of custom half-sized bagpipes in Scotland in 1908,[12] and learned to play them.[13] In February 1909 she was scheduled to perform "Five Feet of Comic Opera" at "The Greatest Scottish Concert Ever Given in America", at Carnegie Hall, with Harry Lauder headlining.[14] She also opened for Lauder in Chicago that year.[15]

In 1910, she was listed among the "very few, really high-class artists" in vaudeville, along with Cecilia Loftus, Vesta Tilley, Harry Lauder, Albert Chevalier, and the duo Cressy and Dane.[16] Hazard was still touring with "Five Feet of Comic Opera" in 1912,[17] with additional dance and musical elements.[18][19] In 1918 she performed at a wartime benefit for the American Red Cross.[20]

Personal life

Grace Hazard eloped to marry fellow vaudevillian Fred Duprez in 1912, in London.[21] The marriage did not last; Duprez was remarried in 1916.
