[78-L] Puritan 4089

[David Lennick]

No match! The pressing and label style look almost identical to the Brilliant 
disc (which appears to be Canadian Brunswick) but this "Mary" isn't the 1920 
one by Hirsch and Harbach, it's by Geo. L. Stoddard and Hugo Frey, published 
1918. Brunswick is looking more likely. The label is gold, rust and black and 
has the girl playing the virginal at the top.

But I checked the January 1919 listing for NYRL and 30089 is Nona and Roses at Twilight by Paramount Dance Orchestra.  So no match here.  Do the labels match the songs?
