[78-L] Penny Wise and her Wise Guys?

[Taylor Bowie]

Anybody know who this is on Vocalion 4286.  Penny Wise and her Wise Guys. 
Side Kick Joe b/w  Don't Let That Moon Get Away.  Vocals by Penny Wise.

I was thinking maybe it's Nan Wynn or Midge Williams...but if it's one of 
them,  why a pseudonym?  Not listed in any Rust nor in Allan Sutton's book.

Anybody know?  I don't have the thing yet but it should arrive after the 
1st.

Taylor
