[78-L] USO records

[djwein at earthlink.net.invalid]

Speaking of home movies, a recent DVD of ABBOTT & COSTELLO RARITES features sound home movies of the Lou Costello fsmily from the early 40s. Costello was a real movie buff, with state-of-the-art 16mm Kodachrome sound equipment, the results of which still look and sound superb today.
