[78-L] Willie Howard on Gala, was Re: Gala: different label styles,

[Han Enderman]

There was an earlier discussion of Gala on this forum, where Thomas informed us:

Just found a review of the GALA album (#1) in the NY Times,
this would put the recording into 1939 at the latest...
Best wishes, Thomas.

NYT January 14, 1940
Comedy and Songs by Willie Howard. (Gala Records, six ten-inch sides, $2.75)
One of the many new recording outfits waxes Professor Howard in some of his
famous bits "French Taught in a Hurry," "Tyrone Shapiro," "Impressions of the
Moscow Art Players," "Comes the Revolution," and Imitations of Jessel, Jolson,
and Cantor.  Enough said.
