1933 RADIO TRANSCRIPTION
Dead wax matrix * is 68534
 
CONDITION: VG+ Very clean only a couple very light only surface marks. There is background hiss but always well below music. I was informed that  my cheap modern Crosley player is the reason there is background sound & that better equipment with the appropriate needle size would eliminate much of the background sound.

It is a thick one sided disc. The back has VICTOR embossed in big letters.

This is a studio disc / promotional transcription used for the promotion of the movie  THE TORCH SINGER it came from the personal library of Nat Finston who was the Orchestra conductor on & general Music Director for films from Paramount & MGM between 1928 & 1945. It is from the Estate of his daughter Beatrix Padway .

WHATS ON  THIS DISC: IT STARTS WITH A FAN FARE. THE ANNOUNCE THEN SAYS- "PARAMOUNT IS ON THE AIR. THROUGH THE FACILITIES OF THIS GREAT MOTION PICTURE ORGNIZATION WE ARE ABLE TO BRING TO YOU IN SONG, OVER THE AIR ONE OF HOLLYWOODS MOST FAMOUS PERSONALITIES, MISS CLAUDETTE COLBERT. ALL OF YOU REMEMBER MISS CLAUDETTE COLBERT AS THE EXCITING AND WICKED EMPRESS POPPEA IN THE SIGN OF THE CROSS
WELL IF YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS NAUGHTY IN THAT MOVIE JUST WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE TORCH SINGER. IN THIS UP TO THE MINUTE STORY MISS COLBERT HAS A JECKLE AND HYDE PERSONALITY.

MISS COLBERT HAS CONSENTED TO SING GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME LOVE, ONE OF HER SONGS FROM HER NEXT PICTURE THE TORCH SINGER.
 
CLAUDETTE COLBERT THEN SINGS THE WHOLE SONG GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME LOVE.

AFTER THE SONG THE ANNOUNCER SAYS "YOU HAVE JUST HEARD MISS CLAUDETTE COLBERT SING ONE OF THE SONGS SHE SINGS IN THE MOTION PICTURE
THE TORCH SINGER." HE THEN PROMOTES THE MOVIE A LITTLE AND NAMES SOME OF THE CAST GIVING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO "THAT DELIGHTFUL LITTLE BUND;E" BABY LEROY.
