[78-L] Ann Sothern test

[Taylor Bowie]

I have some of these movie "preview" records,  which I guess were given to 
radio stations so they could plug the picture,  whatever it was.   The 
oldest one I have is for some movie called "Broadway Babies" with an 
announcer and some clips from the Shilkret records of a couple of the tunes 
in the movie.  So I guess the movie songs were recorded and issued before 
the actual movie was released.

The best one I have is one for The Big Broadcast...Crosby speaks and does a 
short version of "Please" and you can sure hear Eddie Lang...different than 
anything in the movie itself.

Does anyone know if Warners did similar discs for 42nd Street or any of 
their other big early 30s musicals?
