[78-L] Walter Winchell

[David Lennick]

Crown may or may not be an orphan label, but Savoy (and its successors, 
currently owned by Denon I think) claimed to own it by virtue of "owning" the 
rights to Varsity masters which included many originals from Crown. Columbia 
had no direct right of succession to it but could have tried to license a track 
or just used it and made a "best effort" to determine the owner.

Columbia always owned Harmony and Velvet-Tone, and acquired OKeh in 1926.
