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

[Tim Huskisson]

Here's Side 2 of 'Radio Hour In The Children's Ward'. I knew I had a copy
somewhere. Sorry it's a poor transfer, but at least it should confirm that
the Robeson segment is a dubbing.

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.)

record was a curiosity, but not of great interest.  My memory of Robeson's
"appearance" is that of a dub of a verse or two and chorus perhaps from one
of his issued HMVs.
