1983Best.-Nr. 73511983. Bailey Pearl. Fred Allen Humanitarian Award presented on November 5 1983 honoring the African American singer actress and entertainer for public service beyond her stage and screen career. Bailey combined national prominence in theater film television and music with sustained humanitarian and diplomatic activity including service as a United Nations goodwill ambassador and recognition by several presidential administrations. The award documents the public-service dimension of a career that also included a Tony Award for the all-Black 1967 revival of Hello Dolly! and later the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1988 supporting research into Black women in American entertainment celebrity humanitarianism and the cultural diplomacy of the late twentieth century. The Fred Allen Humanitarian Award / Pearl Bailey / November 5 1983. Shield-shaped presentation award with a metal plate mounted on a corresponding shield-shaped wooden plaque. The upper portion incorporates the paired theatrical masks of comedy and tragedy visually linking the honor to Bailey's work as a performer while the engraved plate identifies the award recipient and date. The object records a formal recognition of Bailey's humanitarian reputation during a period when she was known not only as an entertainer but also for diplomatic and charitable service; contemporary biographical accounts note her designation as an "Ambassador of Love" her United Nations work and her longstanding association with USO programs. Metal plate and wooden mount remain clean and well preserved with no significant wear reported; near fine. A substantial presentation object documenting the intersection of African American performance humanitarian recognition and public service in Pearl Bailey's later career. unknown books
Best.-Nr. 8374Bailey Pearl. Signed card preserves the autograph of an African American actress singer author and entertainer whose career extended across Black vaudeville nightclubs Broadway film recording and television. Bailey's starring performance in the all-Black production of Hello Dolly! brought her major Broadway recognition while her later public service included work as a goodwill representative and participation in presidential and United Nations initiatives. Her signature supports research into Black women's performance history celebrity culture and the public identities cultivated by prominent African American entertainers during the twentieth century. Signed card undated. 5 x 8 inches. Inscribed boldly in black ink "Love Pearl Bailey." The concise inscription conveys the affectionate and informal manner associated with Bailey's public persona distinguishing the piece from a legal or professional document bearing only her formal signature. No recipient place occasion or accompanying photograph is identified and the autograph therefore cannot be connected securely to a particular performance or public appearance. Bailey's cultural importance extended beyond the stage: President Richard Nixon named her an "Ambassador of Love" in 1970 and she subsequently served as a goodwill ambassador to the United Nations during the 1970s. She later received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1988. No creasing staining fading or edge damage is identified; card and bold black inscription remain clean and clearly legible near fine. Warmly inscribed autograph connecting Bailey's celebrated performance career with the intimate audience relationships central to her enduring public image. unknown books
1961Best.-Nr. 214361961. Bailey Pearl. Collection of three original performance programs 1961 to circa 1970s documents Bailey's movement between revue Broadway musical theater and touring concert entertainment during a consequential period for Black performers on American stages. Bailey had built a career across Black vaudeville nightclubs Broadway film recording and television combining vocal performance with improvisational humor and a direct rapport with audiences. The group is anchored by her 1967 appearance as Dolly Levi in producer David Merrick's all-Black production of Hello Dolly! which opened at the St. James Theatre on November 12 1967 with Cab Calloway as Horace Vandergelder. Bailey's performance received a Special Tony Award in 1968 and helped renew the commercial success of the long-running musical. Together the programs support research into Black women's performance history celebrity culture integrated commercial theater touring entertainment and the public identities cultivated by prominent African American entertainers during the twentieth century. Three illustrated programs issued between 1961 and circa the 1970s comprising one San Francisco revue program one Broadway musical program and one concert-tour program. The covers present Bailey through changing promotional identities: a poised monochrome portrait for the early revue an elaborately costumed theatrical image for Hello Dolly! and a close-up portrait emphasizing sophistication and mature celebrity for the later concert appearance. Interior contents described or visible include cast and production information and period advertising; set lists biographical texts and production photographs should not be assumed without examination. The earliest program can be identified more precisely as Pearl Bailey's International Revue or International Review in The Playgoer issued for the Curran Theatre in San Francisco in 1961; contemporary archival and dealer records place Bailey at the Curran from January 23 through February 4 1961 and describe a 36-page program featuring her portrait on the cover. 1 Bailey Pearl. The Playgoer: Pearl Bailey's International Revue. San Francisco: The Playgoer 1961. Program for Bailey's Curran Theatre engagement with a black-and-white cover portrait and the wording "Pearl Bailey's International Revue starring Pearl Bailey." The revue format records her command of a performance sphere extending beyond scripted Broadway roles and situates her within the nightclub variety and international revue traditions that shaped her stage persona. 2 Bailey Pearl; Calloway Cab; Herman Jerry. Hello Dolly! New York: St. James Theatre 1967. Red-covered program from the all-Black Broadway production showing Bailey descending a staircase in an ornate gown with her arms raised. The production placed a Black star in one of Broadway's most commercially established leading roles and featured an all-Black company rather than presenting Bailey as an isolated exception within a white cast; its success and Bailey's Special Tony Award made the engagement a landmark in the history of African American musical theater. 3 Bailey Pearl; Bellson Louie. Spend an Evening with Miss Pearl Bailey. Place and publisher unidentified circa 1970s. Deep-blue concert program with a close-up portrait of Bailey issued for an appearance with drummer and bandleader Louie Bellson and his ensemble. Bellson Bailey's husband and frequent musical collaborator served as her music director during portions of their careers and the program documents the partnership through which her later concert performances joined vocal entertainment jazz orchestration and marital collaboration. Specific dimensions pagination and defects are not supplied; covers and interior leaves appear complete as described with ordinary handling wear possible overall very good. Cohesive performance archive tracing Bailey's development from international revue entertainer to the celebrated star of an all-Black Broadway production and an established concert headliner. unknown books

The work supports research into African American cultural history celebrity authorship and the articulation of race faith and selfhood by a Black woman navigating national visibility.

Bailey addresses themes of aging religion emotional complexity and personal accountability incorporating aphoristic observations such as "People are not simple.they are complicated poems full of feelings they can't explain." The content includes meditations on her experiences as a Black woman in the entertainment industry her engagement with public service and her understanding of faith as both a private and social force.
