Jimmy Durante (with Helen Traubel) A Real Piano Player.  And there are 
some Gold Standard Series pop 45 EPs that were on Red Seal labels.

But after my last posting I realized that some joker could have put the 
Monroe Labels on some other record as some kind of warped practical joke 
on the other DJs at the station!!!!  And that actually could have been 
the point of my initial surprised question  "What Columbia record??"  
It's 1954, you're a DJ, and you've just introed a new record by Marilyn 
Monroe (!!!) and are just creaming over the photo on the label (really, 
that label photo is worth the price of the new Mike Sherman Victor label 
book), when SOMETHING ELSE comes out of your monitor speaker.  What 
would it be??  Ruth Wallis?  UTC?  Dentist??? The mind boggles!!

Let this be a lesson to you.  Learn to identify matrix numbering and 
pressing styles!!!
