Just about 1-2. $10.00. JOSEPH HASSID [violinist]. Suwalki, Poland, 1923 – Long Grove Hospital, Epsom, England, 1950. A remarkable prodigy, Hassid (raised by his father after his mother’s death when he was ten) was strongly encouraged by most of the virtuosi of the time who heard him. He came to England in 1938 at the invitation of Carl Flesch and made his public debut at Wigmore Hall (London) on 3 April 1940. His final concert was 1 March 1941 at Queens Hall, playing the Beethoven Violin Concerto. It was apparent that he was suffering from a “severe mental disorder” which was diagnosed as “schizophrenia” and was admitted to St. Andrew’s Hospital in Northampton. After a brief period of improvement, he was “certified insane” and remained institutionalzed for the rest of his life. A lobotomy was eventually attempted but postoperative infection set it, progressing into meningitis, which led to his death. Pianist Gerald Moore commented in the Gramophone magazine (April, 1973) that Hassid was “the greatest instrumental genius I’ve ever partnered.” He made only eight records, all in 1940, all extremely scarce. - Wikipedia 3995. 12” White lbl. two SS vinyl HMVs C.3208 [2EA-8900-1/2EA-9053-1].

Just about 1-2. $30.00. [JULIUS] DUCI DE KEREKJARTO [violinist]. Ungarn, Hungary, 1900-Los Angeles, CA, 1962. A pupil of Hubay and referred to as a “brilliant, charismatic Hungarian violinist,” Kerekjarto made his American debut in Carnegie Hall in 1920. Writing of him shortly after that evening, his enthusiastic publicist gushed, “Such exhibitions of violinistic technique as his had been offered by no newcomer before him since the memorable debut of Jascha Heifitz. Kerekjarto is said to have everything that a violinist needs to win popular acclaim. His tones are lustrous, refined and delicate. The critics found him to have command of all the intricacies of violin technique accompanied by a tone that was at all times melting and flowing. He was particularly enthusiastically received for his feats of wonderful finger work and digital dexterity.” After such an auspicious beginning, his career seemed to have slowly waned. He settled in the Hollywood area and appeared in several films as a gypsy violinist, including Angel (1937) with Marlene Dietrich and Rich, Young and Pretty (1952) featuring Jane Powell, as well as on TV in an episode of the Donna Reed Show (1960).

In 1884 Musin began his first U.S. tour and, in 1898, took over César Thompson’s violin class at the Liège Conservatory.

He became a Hollywood studio musician for radio, recordings and films in the early 1940s. He is remembered as one of the most notable cornetists of his era.

LAURA BOCCIA [Italian or Italian-American singer]. Very popular Italian language singer with a radio program on New York’s WEVD in the later 1930s, Boccia was recorded and pushed by Victor during that period. Likely her career was diminished as a result of the Second World War. As a teenager, I played piano in a trio that worked weekly summers, mid to later 1950s, in a small bar that Boccia and her husband ran outside an upstate New York rural village. I remember at the time an almost lifesized pre-War Victor advertising portrait of her hanging on a wall leading to the kitchen. She was there trim and attractive, quite belying the Laura Boccia who would occasionally take over at the piano during the trio’s breaks. Once I asked it she would sing some of the songs she had recorded, but she replied “No one wants to hear those old things.” It would be interesting to learn more about her. 1449. 10” PW Blk.

She subsequently auditioned for the Met, but “was rejected, as she recalled, for being ‘too young, too inexperienced, too slight, too everything’ ”. She then changed course toward musical comedy with success and sang Magnolia in the 1929 road tour of Showboat. RKO auditioned her for movies and gave her six months of acting lessons. She then made her film debut in 1931. While Dunne appeared in several musical films, she was equally at home in dramatic and romantic parts. Her last movie was in 1950. 2167. 10” Blk.

Though she was to become well-established as an entertainer in Eastern Europe, she is best remembered as one of the several "larger-than-life" figures that dominated New York stages during the "Golden Age" of American Yiddish Theatre during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Historians estimate that, during her career, Kalich performed more than 125 different roles in seven different languages.

A bit of history: James Fitzmaurice, Baron Ehrenfried Günther Freiherr Von Hünefeld and Hermann Köhl were the first pilots to cross the Atlantic from East to West (1928), following by a year Lindberg’s solo flight in the opposite direction. The two Germans returned home after their flight, but the Irish Fitzmaurice settled in the New York area and became acquainted with three Irish real estate agents who were promoting a new real estate venture on Long Island: the village of Massapequa Park. It was to have its own airfield, soon named Fitzmaurice Flying Field. For various reasons the large airport tract of land survived the majority of years as vacant property until 1954. The area was surrounded by the village of Massapequa Park which in turn, borders the village of Massapequa. With the huge development of Long Island following W.W. II, there was no space for additional schools needed other than the former Airport area which Massapequa Park purchased, building Hawthorn Elementary School (1954) in one area and, in 1958, McKenna Junior High School in another. My wife and I began our teaching careers in these schools. In addition, the names of the three pioneering pilots were recognized by parallel area streets: Fitzmaurice, Von Huenfeld and Koehl, with Lindberg added as a fourth for good measure. -George Kirchmann, Massapequa Observer.

Her home base from 1923 was the Angelus Temple in Los Angeles,CA, a “megachurch” she raised money to build. It had a seating capacity of 5,300 people and was filled to capacity three times each day, seven days a week. While McPherson’s preaching was conservative, she made use of all technology then available to get her message across, including the radio and a monthly magazine. Her death in 1944 was a result of what was determined by the coroner’s report to be an accidental overdose of sleeping pills. 1559. 10” Blk. VT Columbia 2561-D [W151860-2/151861-2].

She was extraordinarily popular among Italian-Americans, although from 1941-48 she was declared a “subversive” by the FBI and was not allowed to record. Following this period she resumed her career and recording activities. In the early 1950s, however, she suffered severe health problems.

Moissi soon became noted internationally for his pitched approach to speech and magnetic stage presence, experiencing great success in America and Russia, as well as in most of the major artistic centers of Europe. He made recordings as both a singer and actor and appeared in a number of films beginning in 1913. While he was not Jewish, Moissi spoke out strongly in support of his colleagues who were and left Germany in 1933 for residence in Switzerland and Vienna.

HELEN MORGAN [vocalist]. Danville, IL, 1900 – October 9, 1941. Born Helen Riggins. Her father, Frank Riggins, was a farmer. After her mother, Lulu Lang Riggins, divorced and remarried, she changed the last name to "Morgan". Her mother's second marriage ended in divorce, and she and Helen moved to Chicago. Helen never finished school beyond the eighth grade and worked a variety of jobs just to get by. By the age of twenty, Morgan had taken voice lessons and started singing in speakeasies in Chicago and she became a wildly popular torch singer. A draped-over-the- piano look became her signature while performing at Billy Rose's Backstage Club in 1925. She starred as Julie LaVerne in the original Broadway production of Hammerstein and Kern's musical Show Boat in 1927 as well as in the 1932 Broadway revival and appeared in two film adaptations, a part-talkie made in 1929 and a full-sound version made in 1936. She suffered from bouts of alcoholism, and despite her notable success in the title role of another Hammerstein and Kern's Broadway musical, Sweet Adeline (1929), her stage career was relatively short.

Romito recorded for Columbia in New York through much of the 1920s and likely took up U.S. residence.

Original cast recording, 1933, of Scenes 5 and 6 of Hanns Johst’s Schlageter, a biographical drama based on the life of Albert Leo Schlageter, executed in 1923, who became a Nazi martyr.

Actress Emmy Sonnenman, heard on this record, married Hermann Göring in 1936.

There is a hairline half-moon crack in about an inch from the rim extending an inch or so on the blank side, visible but not broken through to the grooved side (i.e. silent).
