Released April 26, 1930. I recorded this off CFMT's \"The All Night Show\" with my Sony AV-8600 (Open-Reel) in 1980, and so far I've never found another copy. This post is taken off a 3/4\" dub of that tape made 15 years ago, the original having since crumbled to dust (though I can stll play EIAJ1) It is a VHS dub of my original tape, sent to a collector in Texas in the 80s, that has made the rounds amongst collectors and onto the other Youtube posting. Note that the picture is fuzzy because CFMT's ground-glass film chain was out of focus, NOT because of tape generation loss.
It's a shame that this and Miss Morse's other two shorts (One being a Vitaphone) have so far been overlooked, though so many of the other shorts produced by Paramount during the same period HAVE been released to DVD. Lee Morse is being rediscovered, she was the most modern and unique of all \"Torch\" singers and would be a success today if new to the scene.
