Albert Arkus is the pianist on TAC / THEME 78-disc from CABARET TAC (1938)
GM 482  PICKET LINE PRISCILLA - Beatrice Kay           TAC 2, THEME 101-A
GM 483  SWING TAC             - June Havoc             TAC 2, THEME 101-B

Can someone supply biographical information ???
Did he make any other recordings ???

Albert Arkus is named as CONDUCTOR for a KATHERINE DUNHAM revue at the Martin Beck Theatre in SEPTEMBER,  1942.

There is an AL (Albert M.) Arkus who was at WNYC 1944-1951, narrator on numerous
Jewish 78's and LP's (Reena, Menorah).  Born 1929, so too young for Cabaret TAC (1938).  However, is
he related to the above Albert Arkus ?????????????

Thanks!
Best wishes, Thomas.
