Biography

Kline was born on July 7, 1887 in Amsterdam, New York to Martha D. and Oliver S. Kline. Her family moved to Schenectady, New York around 1897, when her father went to work at General Electric.

She attended Saint Agnes Girls' School in Albany, New York. Her first vocal teachers were Herbert Wilbur Green whose surname she borrowed for her occasional recording pseudonym Alice Green. She later studied singing with Herbert Witherspoon.[2]

Kline began her career as a paid soloist with several churches in New York City, including the Madison Avenue Reformed Church (now Central Presbyterian Church), Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims, and the Collegiate Reformed Protestant Dutch Church. She recorded for Victor Records starting in 1912.[2] In 1914 she made her professional concert debut in Detroit in a program which also featured baritone Titta Ruffo.

She married Dr. John Walter Hulihan in 1919. Her last recording for Victor Records was in 1935.[2]

She died on July 29, 1976 in Pelham, New York.[2][6] She is buried at Calvary Cemetery in Rutland, Vermont.
