[78-L] Pathe Records Questions

[Bertrand CHAUMELLE]

As I recall, that song is backed with "Prends garde à Tchou tchin  
Tchou" on your record. This is "Chu Chin Chow" from the same "Ziegfeld  
Follies of 1917", written by Stamper & Buck, adapted in French by  
Lucien Boyer.

Sheet music from both songs is available here:
