  Some may be familiar with WALLACE HOUSE, longtime professor at New York
University, also at Columbia.  

  He  recorded 10 albums on FOLKWAYS, and a directed a number of dramatic
works read by "the University Players" issued by PHONOTAPES.

  He appeared in a handful of Broadway shows in the 1920's.  

  IMDB lists 2 credits, but not sure if this is the same Wallace House:   

      Nash Airflyte Theatre (1950)   CBS-TV Thursday evening 10:30pm.

         ANYONE HAVE DETAILS OF THE SHOW(S) on which he appeared ?????

      Death Tide (1955)  - a not very good copy is on YouTube - perhaps
someone with sharp

eyes can spot him or verify if it is the same person.

 The NY Times obituary states "made many recordings in the early 1930's."

  We are aware of TWO  78rpm albums featuring Wallace House:

     c.1940  ASCH 202   FOLK SONGS OF THE UNITED NATIONS (3-10" 78rpm) 

           Sung by Wallace House, self-accompanied on guitar and lute.

    CAN SOMEONE PROVIDE ACCURATE DATE FOR ABOVE ALBUM ?????

     c.1941  MUSICRAFT album 55 [262-265)  ENGLISH BALLADS and SONG (4-10"
78rpm)

          Sung by G. Marston Haddock, accompanied by Wallace House on
guitar, lute, cithern.

 

  Does anyone have information on other 78rpm  recordings with House ?????

  THANKS!

  Thomas.
