- Titles read: "Now, here comes Hildegarde, (and a piano). (From Cafe de Paris, etc.)."
Pathe Studio, London.
Various shots of cabaret artist Hildegarde sitting at the grand piano in a sparkling evening dress. She plays and sings "I Was In The Mood" - a lilting song about a girl who ended up pushing a pram because... she was in the mood (mmm mmm!).
Cataloguer's note: I think Hildegarde is quite a charming entertainer! Not many singers today could put over these simple (and sometimes rather dopey) songs in such a charismatic way.

Now there was a real talent...note, she never looked at the keys while singing, not even once! Also note although American she sings with an English accent!
The joke about Hildegarde was that the French thought she was German, the Americans thought she was French, the Germans thought she was English and the English thought she was American. But she was just a nice Milwaukee girl. I guess only the English got it right.
Such rare tallent! What a joy. Rhythmic and melodious - lovely. Thanks for posting.
So enjoyable...I like her name :))))
Amazing singer and pianist!
Adorable.
She reminds me of Marion Harris...but Hlidegard accompanied herself on piano!!!
An amazing talent with a lot of personality - she could really act out the song while accompanying herself on the piano - flawless piano playing.
