[78-L] Baby, It's Cold Outside

[martha]

 Songe d'Autumne is not "forgotten" and was recorded quite a few times.  I 
have it on Edison, Pathe, Victor.   Also just heard it in The Great Houdini, 
used as background music while Tony Curtis performed a trick!

 Composer:  Archibald Joyce, the "English Waltz King"
