Helen Raymond
Helen Raymond (September 3, 1878 – November 26, 1965) was an American stage actress who did comedy roles on Broadway, and also appeared in Hollywood motion pictures and in vaudeville.
Raymond was born September 3, 1878, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music with an emphasis in piano.
Raymond performed in vaudeville in addition to her other work on stage. One of her early theatrical roles was Mrs. Eichorn in Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch in a New York production and in a touring troupe in Australia and in the United States.
Her Broadway debut came in 1915 in Very Good Eddie.
Raymond's success in the Broadway production of Twin Beds resulted in her going to London to perform in that show for three seasons. Presenting the play in England required a change of title, however. to Be Careful, Baby, which Raymond said "had no connection with the plot at all".
In 1931, Raymond starred in Stepping Sisters in Philadelphia. The play, in which Raymond portrayed a burlesque queen, ran for seven months in Chicago and for 10 months in New York. In June 1941, Raymond called that role her "greatest personal success" up to that time.
Raymond portrayed Mrs. Wadsworth T. Harcourt in a 64-week run of Anything Goes (1934) and One Touch of Venus (1943). Her final appearance in a Broadway production was as Eulalie Mackecknie Shinn in The Music Man, from 1957-1960.
She performed for at least eight seasons with the St. Louis, Missouri, Municipal Opera, and she acted with the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera at the Jones Beach Marine Theater.
