[78-L] Actors on record

[bruce78rpm at comcast.net]

I will bend the rules on this one,  I have a Movie comedy actress, "Marie Dressler", whose career in movies stretched from the early 1900's to the early 1930's, on an Edison 4 minute wax amberol, doing a comedy sketch and song called "Rastus Take me back", which I am guessing is from about 1910 or so.
