And Satchmo in "You Rascal, You" mentions a Victrola as well, in a double 
entendre. But Rev. Gates specifically says OKeh on an OKeh record. I haven't 
reached his Victors yet so I don't know if he'll do the same sermon over there.

Gracie Fields referred to the price of her new records on an early one she made 
for Rex, one that had to be awkwardly edited when reissued and the price no 
longer applied. Can't remember if she mentioned Rex (Here, Rex!).
