Hopefully, someone here can help me with this.  I was looking through a bunch of 16" transcriptions and found a movie
soundtrack on the Tiffany Tone label pressed by the Victor Talking Machine Co for the movie NEW ORLEANS on 4 discs,
#1 - reels 1 & 3, #2 - reels 2 & 4, #3 - reels 5 & 7, #4 - reels 6 & 8.  A quick search of the 'net revealed a 1947 movie with
that name featuring Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, and Woody Herman, but this ain't it.  Also, by that time, the soundtrack
was on the film and the Victor Talking Machine Co no longer existed as such.  Had to be 1927 to 1929, right?

If that is so, where would I look for the earlier version of this movie that would match this soundtrack?  Wikipedia doesn't
list a movie of this name at all in the 1920's or 1930's.

Thanks!  Cliff
