[78-L] "Mammy O' Mine" (Adele Rowland)

[L78rpm at aol.com]

Yes.  She recorded two unissued "trials" for Victor from Friml's  
"Katinka":  "Your Photo" and "I Want to Marry a Male Quartet".   Details are at the 
Victor discography website.
 
She also appeared in at least one Vitaphone short, packaged with the fancy  
Jolson "Jazz Singer" DVD set and available.  She is 45, still pretty, and  
her voice is intact.  She sings an odd song (think "Special Material")  
about her airplane; a politically incorrect song in stage Chinese dialect; and  
two current TPAlley songs: "There Must Be Somebody Else" (using the same  
arrangement Belle Baker uses on her Brunswick disc) and I forget the other  
title.  It is a physically static performance and I think they  told her not 
to move.  She followed instructions.

Did she ever record any songs from her Broadway shows  or movies?
