Sophie Tucker Last of the Red Hot Mamas by Carrie McLaren Last fall when making the round of local used record stores, I came across an album by Sophie Tucker. "I'm Bigger and Better Than Ever," Sophie seemed to be shouting, her 80-ish year-old face open wide on the cover. For $8, it was even autographed. Clearly Sophie was past her prime, but since albums weren't around during her vaudeville days, I gave it a shot. Shortly thereafter, the gutsy model of ahead-of-her-time-feminism became my hero. What some would no doubt call novelty or camp was music to these ears: songs like "You've Got To Be Loved To Be Healthy," "Aren't Women Wonderful," and "I'm Living Alone (And I Like It)." My quest to learn everything led me back to 1884 when a three- month-old, Russia-born, Sophie Abuza made her debut in America. Settling in Hartford, Conn., her parents opened a small restaurant and Sophie grew up working there, occasionally singing for tips. At 16, she eloped with Louis Tuck and later gave birth to a Bert. Unfortunately, Louis never got around to getting a job. Once their money ran out, Sophie ended up back at the restaurant, supporting all three. Working in a restaurant, however, wasn't Sophie's calling. Divorcing Louis and leaving Bert to her parents' care, she fled to New York to try her hand at entertaining. Pretty radical for an orthodox Jewish woman at the turn of the century. Her first break came in 1906, sometime after changing her surname to Tucker. She was offered a small-time theater slot on one condition: because she was so "big and ugly," she had to appear in blackface. Fairly desperate, Sophie agreed and ended up touring the vaudeville circuit as a "coon shouter." Though successful, she continually tried to ditch the blackface act. So when her costumes and makeup failed to arrive in time for a show one night, Sophie risked going on without a disguise. Fortunately, the crowd loved her.

In she was briefly married to Louis Tuck; from which she decided to change her name to "Tucker". Sophie Tucker, 1917 Tucker played piano and sang in Burlesque and Vaudeville , at first usually in blackface . She later said that this was at the insistence of theater managers, who said she was "too fat and ugly" to be accepted by the audience in any other context. Sophie Tucker made a name for herself in a style that was known at the time as a "Coon Shouter", performing African American influenced songs. Not content with performing in the simple Minstrel show traditions, she hired some of the best African American singers of the time to give her lessons and hired African American composers to write songs for her act. At a Vaudeville appearance her luggage including her makeup-kit was stolen shortly before the show, and Tucker hastily went on stage with no makeup, and to the surprise of the theater manager was a bigger hit with the audience than she had been in blackface. Tucker never wore blackface again, although she continued getting much of her material from African American writers and singing in a

Sophie Tucker Born in Russia, Tucker immigrated to the United States and settled with her family in Hartford, Connecticut, where she helped out at her parents' kosher diner and roominghouse. Surrounded by theater performers at a young age, Tucker began singing for her customers. After a failed marriage, with her her son staying in Hartford, Tucker moved to New York and got a vaudeville job. First performing in blackface, she soon began singing the songs that made her famous, including "Some of These Days" and "My Yiddishe Momma," throughout the world. She played in several films in the 1930s and 1940s. Tucker's financial independence was important to her and her philanthropy included personal, as well as, institutional contributions to actors guilds, Jewish and Zionist causes, synagogues and hospitals. Her work challenged stereotypes of age, size and gender and one historian has labeled her a feminist of pop culture. Source: Jewish Women's Archive

Home Index By Subject By Year ... The Gift Shop The career of legendary American entertainer Sophie Tucker (1884-1966) spanned more than sixty years of the twentieth century. She starred on Broadway, in vaudeville, cabaret, burlesque, motion pictures, television, and was an important recording artist from the days of primitive Edison cylinder recordings Miss Tucker came to San Francisco in early 1911 shortly after recording her famed signature song, for the Edison Company February 24, 1911. She was starring on the Pantages vaudeville circuit, and played at the Chutes, a post-earthquake amusement park at 10th Avenue and Fulton Street. My first engagement on the Pantages Circuit was at the Chutes in San Francisco. Art Hickman , who brought the first California band to the Ziegfeld Roof in New York, was employed there then. It was there, too, I got to know Bob Fitzsimmons and his tiny, delicate wife, who had come West with him in a new act. Bob was passionately fond of music. He was as crazy for new songs as any vaudeville performer. We had a lot of fun seeing the sights of Frisco, especially the Barbary Coast. In those days it was full of spots such as
