Biography

Niles Welch was born on July 29, 1888, in Hartford, Connecticut. He attended Yale and Columbia Universities, where he distinguished himself in athletics. Welch spent two years in France studying literature, languages, painting, and drama. His stage career began in 1909 with a production at Columbia. After graduating, he launched his film career at Vitagraph Studios in Brooklyn under producer Jesse Lasky. He then worked for the Kalem Company and later Metro, where he starred alongside Mary Miles Minter and Ethyl Barrymore. He also appeared in films for Universal and Goldwyn. While in New York, he met and married Elaine Baker, a Broadway actress.

Later, Welch pursued a second career as a radio actor for the Columbia Broadcasting System. His fluency in French and German proved valuable during World War II, leading to his employment by the State Department with the Voice of America. Besides daily short-wave broadcasts to Europe, he hosted his own news program. In 1945, Welch experienced a serious accident at the recording studio. Carrying records and other items, he entered through heavy studio doors with a companion. When an engineer called to him, he stopped to respond, then turned to leave, assuming the door was held open. It was not, and he struck his head against it. Medical examination revealed detached retinas in both eyes. Surgery was unsuccessful; he retained partial sight in one eye for a year before becoming completely blind. Welch passed away in California in 1976 at age 88.
