        David L has identified Salabert as the music publisher, but Bart 
had written:
<<<
... I guess "Salabert" to be the publisher, unless there 
was a  performer named  Salabert? - it seems to be a not uncommon name. 
But odd for a performer to be listed in the tiniest type on the label 
and without a first name.
>>>
        French artistes often prided themselves on needing only one name 
to be identified.  It seems to have been an ego thing, as in [the one and 
only] Volbert, Naudier, or Maillard, who were actors, now obscure.  This 
was true for the musical stage as well, and probably at the beginning of 
the record biz, too.
