Raymond Hitchcock was born on October 22, 1865.

He was once famous as a stage personality, but he is unknown today except by a handful of theater historians.

In Broadway shows he introduced a few songs that enjoyed some success though such songs are forgotten today.

He made silent films, too.

The recordings he made for Victor and Columbia did not sell well, and they are not memorable.

Hitchcock was married to Freda Bowen from 1891 to 1903 and then was married to actress Flora Zabelle (1880-1968) from 1905 to his death in 1929.

He died suddenly on November 24, 1929, at his home in Beverly Hills, California.
