THAT is interesting.  I didn't have Will Dodge as the leader of the 
Polar Bears at that point.  He led several other orchestras for Shepard, 
and Charles Hector led the rest.  But the record label cannot lie... I 
wonder when the switch was made, because as I noted elsewhere, the Polar 
Bears had their own show on WNAC during much of 1928-1929, and it was 
Charles Hector who appeared at some of their live performances.
