Hildegarde was a singer of uncertain nationality, the product of an intense publicity campaign to give her a deliberate international flavor. As her Current Biography entry noted, she was known as "the little Hollander" in France, was written about as "the Viennese star" in a Dutch newspaper, and had left the British press wondering whether she was "an American with a French accent or French with an American accent."
