[78-L] Actors on record

[Taylor Bowie]

Like the Warren Zevon song..."my brain is like a sieve."  I coulda swored 
that one side was Service.  Oh well...

Does anyone have some sort of check list or discography of movie actors who 
made records in the 30s and 40s?  I don't mean big timers like Alice Faye, 
Dorothy Lamour,   Bob Hope, Jane Russell, etc....but the lesser lights 
usually on smaller labels.

I have 40s 78s by Hope Emerson,  Gloria Stuart,  Frank Orth,  etc.  One of 
my faves is the Jack Carson Capitol of   "That Was a Big Fat Lie."
