This popular baritone concert star played the lead in Broadway musicals productions that included "Showboat" and "Sadie Thompson," then joined the Metropolitan Opera in 1941. Signed Program, 8vo (5½" X 8½"), 4pp, n.p., n.y. Very good. Mild edgewear and faint mounting traces on middle third of rear wrapper; several small inked notes near bottom of front wrapper. Attractive program on buff stock for Hatfield's appearance at the "Community Concert Association," listing a dozen wide-ranging pieces -- classical (Schubert, Debussy, Bizet, Tschaikowsky, Wagner-Liszt, etc.) to folk songs and negro spirituals. Hatfield signs large and bold in pencil near the top. Inner page (2) contains biography of Hatfield and "Annotations" (3 and verso p. 4) on each song. Undated, but apparently of late 1930s vintage. Hatfield's career was cut short when he died of a liver ailment at age 44, so his autograph material rather uncommon. Seller Inventory # 40758
