[78-L] Morey Amsterdam on Sunset

[Taylor Bowie]

If the Sunset number fits their pattern,  the Amsterdam record would date 
from the end of 1925,  so J.C.'s status is still safe.  I mentioned to Marc 
that IMDB states that he moved from Chicago to California when he was 16, 
and that he'd already been active in show biz for several years.

Seems pretty improbable that it could be anyone else but the "real" Morey 
Amsterdam.
