[78-L] Re; Paul Robeson Comedy Record?

[David Lennick]

Probably not scarce but a curiosity, and I found out about it only by accident. 
I was trying to date another HMV with a nearby matrix number, and I do that by 
looking through discographies and Rust books to try and get close. Cicely 
Courtneidge's listings in London Musical Shows had a few similar numbers, and 
then this title leapt out.

By the way, the disc I was trying to date is of songs from Die Dreigroschenoper 
sung in Hebrew..! (Currently on eBoom.)
