[78-L] Knute Rockne

[Han Enderman]

Never having heard of Rockne before, I googled the following info:

"Other Notre Dame themed Films were made over the years. THE SPIRIT OF NOTRE DAME (Universal 1931)featured J. Farrell McDonald as a Rockne look-alike coach. It also featured Lew Ayers, Andy Devine Nat Pendleton, as well as the members of the real Notre Dame Championship Teams featuring the real Four Horsemen."

In IMDb is a description of the movie:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022422/
Release Date: 13 October 1931 (USA)
Here is said in the list of the cast:
      Knute Rockne ...  Himself (archive footage) 


It appears that Vic 22808 is one of the scarce examples where the Oakland label differs from
the East Coast pressing.
Both labels state: "(from Universal picture "The Spirit of Notre Dame)", but on the West Coast
pressing is added: "(arranged by Christy Walsh)".
A much later pressing has the RCA Victor double ring label.

>>> Does anyone know what actor did the voiceover for Knute Rockne's 
appearance in "The Spirit of Notre Dame," later released on Victor 22808?
