"Richard Hale" was an American opera and concert singer and later a character actor of film, stage and television. Hale's appearance usually landed him roles as either Middle Eastern or Native American characters.

Born "James Richards Hale" in Rogersville, Tennessee, he attended Columbia University on a singing scholarship. Upon graduation in 1914, he turned down an offer to join Columbia's English department, choosing instead to join Minnie Maddern Fiske's theater group. Hale's 1921 debut at Aeolian Hall (New York)/Aeolian Hall began a successful career in opera as a baritone; he toured Europe and the United States. The 1927 The New York Times/New York Times film review of The Unknown (1927 film)/The Unknown credits "Richard Hale, baritone" as singing "The Pirate's Frolic". During the 1930s, Hale performed at the Berkshire Playhouse in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Hale also narrated Peter and the Wolf for Sergei Prokofiev, at Tanglewood, with Koussevitsky conducting. Hale was also the narrator for Arthur Fiedler's 1953 RCA recording of the same music with the Boston Pops.

We note the adjudicator's comments and accept her decision.

He's very chirpy, he never even mentioned the championship. I think he's just relieved he's still talking to us because it was a hell of a fall, he got a real bash in the face. He could have been left unconscious - it could have been a lot worse.
