The responses to my MARGARET DODD SINGERS query piqued my interest in MARY HOWARD RECORDINGS.
I've searched Billboard and Worldcat - the results are listed below.

I would like to put together a list of the commercial (shellac) releases, the lacquers are 
also interesting, but too difficult to pursue at this time.  I will just mention that
MHR recorded CHARLES IVES performing his own works (Apr 24, 1943), and these are released 
in the NEW WORLD CD IVES plays IVES (80642).

The information below (commercial releases) from Worldcat should be viewed with suspicion -
any additions (MANY needed) and corrections appreciated!!  Thanks!

Best wishes, Thomas.
