[78-L] Judson, was Re: Sampson, also Nat Brusiloff

[David Lennick]

I forgot to clarify..this disc has a Philco label, not a Judson label, so it's 
part of a Philco-sponsored program. I've never determined whether the green 
label Judsons are parts of programs or just brief drop-ins..the Ormandy discs 
have no announcements and seem to be self-contained.

I've also had the loan of three sixteen-inch 33RPM Judson-produced 
transcriptions by the "Philco Symphony Orchestra", presumably from 1930. These 
are parts of programs.
