[78-L] Willie Howard - Gala 78's

[Thomas Stern]

Just found a review of the GALA album in the NY Times,
this would put the recording into 1939 at the latest...
Best wishes, Thomas.

NYT January 14, 1940
...
Comedy and Songs by Willie Howard. (Gala Records, six ten-inch sides, $2.75)
One of the many new recording outfits waxes Professor Howard in some of his
famous bits "French Taught in a Hurry," "Tyrone Shapiro," "Impressions of the
Moscow Art Players," "Comes the Revolution," and Imitations of Jessel, Jolson,
and Cantor.  Enough said.

That's odd, because those are both the same side on the Jubilee 78. I wonder if they also used the Gala French lesson, which was
two sides?

WILLIE HOWARD. Only two tracks are listed on the disc, "Professor Pierre Marquette" and "The French Lesson."
