Here's what I got from the Brunswick Discography, vol.3, by Ross Laird.

Benny Rubin - comic monologue           LA, Sep. 27, 1929 (1:00-2:10
PM)

LTR 223-A  Feetball
LAE 651-A  Feetball                                      Bruns. 4606
LTR 224-A  Why is Thanksgiving?
LAE 652-A  Why is Thanksgiving?                Bruns. 4606
LTR 225-A  Health Talk
LAE 856-A  Health Talk                                 Bruns. 4888

Note: The recording sheets are headed "Brunswick Test"


Benny Rubin - comic monologue w/ incidental music
                                                             LA, Jan.
3, 1930 (4:30-6:30 PM)

LAE 683 -A-B-C  Christopher Columbus         Bruns. 4888
LAE 684 -A-B-C  Bringing up Babies

Note: on the recording sheet master LAE-684 is marked Reject.


Benny Rubin, comedian w/orchestra (-1) or comic monologue with musical
effects (-2).                                          LA, Apr. 21,
1930

LAE 766 -A-B  The Laugh Song (-1)              Bruns. 4798
LAE 767 -A-B  Uncle Tom's Cabin (-2)           Bruns. 4798


   The LOC has copies of 4606 and 4888, though the latter is in poor
shape.
  Hope this answers your question.

Hi,

Might any of you be able to provide me with the master #s & dates for
the 4
sides contained on 4606 & 4888?

For 4606, the titles are "Feetball" and "Why Is Thanksgiving"

For 4888, the titles are "Christopher Columbus" and "Health Talk"

Thanks,
Shiffy
