Hubbell was born in Urbana, Illinois. He attended schools in Urbana and studied music in Chicago, where he formed a dance band. He worked for Charles K. Harris Publishers as a staff arranger and pianist. His first composition for stage musicals was in 1902 for a show called "Chow Chow", which opened later in New York as "The Runaways". He began composing music for the Ziegfeld Follies in 1912. [http://www.musicals101.com/ziegfollies.htm] His last Broadway work was the score for the 1928 musical "Three Cheers", starring Will Rogers. [http://nfo.net/cal/th12.html] His most popular composition (and the only one remembered today) is the song "Poor Butterfly" which was recorded by violinist Fritz Kreisler.

Hubbell retired to Miami, Florida; he died there in 1954. [http://www.ibdb.com/person.asp?ID=8261]
