[78-L] Nice Finds

[David Lennick]

Got 'em all..even the Helen Hayes (which I used on a Pearl transfer of Weill material). Hey, listen to Helen doing Beat Beat Drums! She had to be one of the worst actresses in the world. I saw her in Toronto..she walked on the stage and got an ovation. Proves nothing.
