I believe that OKeh recording was used on a Walter Lantz cartoon years ago.It 
seems to me I saw it on a Saturday morning cartoon show out of Portland,Oregon 
years ago.

Subject: [78-L] Okeh?

A few days ago I inquired about Okeh 4678.  No one here responded but 
another collector responded to my eBay posting of these two records

with this explanation.....

After Louis moved his contract to Victor in 1932, Victor issued a side 
called "Laughin' Louie" where Armstrong and orch. parodied the 
OKeh Laughing Record, by then a very well known release from 1922.  I 
bet this was just an attempt to compete.

Any comments......
