[78-L] Melva label

[Glenn Longwell]

Tough label to find, congratulations.
 
Melva was linked to Clarion, Cardinal, Royal and possibly others.  Clarion was started by Jacques Kohner after he left Lyraphone Company of America (Lyric discs), which was after he left Paroquette, which was after he left Majestic Record Corp.  I believe the C prefix denotes this as a Clarion master.

Junking around today I found my first Melva label disc, c. late 1921:
 
8017A (C760-2)  When Francis Dances with Me  sung by William  Johnson, orch 
accomp.
8017B (C749-1)  Dapper Dan,  sung by Frank Christy, orch  accomp.
 
Melva Record Company, Brooklyn, NY
 
Rust says there's a Clarion (not the later label) relationship.
 
No question, just crowing...!
