New York Times Albert Hague 1976


Hague and Wife Go Public In Performance at Drake

By John Corry July 27, 1976

She was smiling at him, and he was looking at the piano, and when he started to speak he sounded like Henry A. Kissinger. Still, with the smile, the big bow tie and the spotlight's reflection off his glasses he was gemiltlich, a middle‐aged Teutonic cherub. This was Albert Hague performing.

“I grew up in a tough neighborhood—Germany,” he said, and “in Cincinnati played in a place so tough the truck drivers were afraid to go in there.” Mr. Hague smiled through the glasses and over the big bow tie, and his pretty wife smiled .even more. Gemiltlichkeit was everywhere.

Mr. Hague, who wrote, among other things, the music for the Broadway shows “Redhead” and “Plain and Fancy,” was appearing with his wife, Renee, at After Ten, the new supper club in the Drake Hotel. Mr. Hague plays the piano and his wife sings, and frequently they do songs that Mr. Hague wrote. It is their article of faith that no one can do a song the way its composer can. “‘Miss Moffat’ was my masterpiece, no question about it,” Mr. Hague was saying now. He was sitting at a table, talking about the show he did with inshua Logan and Emlyn Williams. It folded in Philadelphia.

Contradiction by Wife

“Excuse me. I must contradict my husband,” Mrs. Hague said. She said he had written several masterpieces. Under the name Renee Orrin she was in, among other things, “Fiddler on the Roof” with Jack Guilford and “Take Me Along” with Gene Kelly, and she is now standing by for Joan Copeland in “Pal Joey.” She has also done soap operas. Mrs. Hague is a professional, too.
