JSLMB598 31st Aug 2016 | | 78 RPMHelofon Danseorkester - Din Og Min / I Broadway's Lys | This is in fact the orchestra of Richard Stangerup & it was cut in Copenhagen, Denmark on 1938. "Din Og Min" is the danish translation of "Yours & Mine" & "I Broadway's Lys" is the danish translation of "Your Broadway & My Broadway".
A bit of history: In 1935 the Danish record compagny TONO was established, and already in 1937 it went bankroupt. It was then taken over by Schou's Sæbehus, - a Danish soap compagny. Between 1937-39 the labels were a big mess between TONO, Helofon and Schou. Several Danish recordings were made, and also several recordings from England and Germany were imported, and published on these labels. Some 78rpm records used the TONO label on one side, and at the backside there were a Schou or Helofon label.
As they use to introduce the late 1970'ies American soap opera "Soap", with the famous words: "Confused- but not after this episode of Soap!". A perfect description of the Danish record compagny TONO during the late 1930'ies.
They also used another label between 1937-42 named EKKO. EKKO was the low price record from TONO.

Silvester cut both sides ("The Sweetheart Waltz" (mtx. CE-8323) & "September In The Rain" (mtx. CE-8324)) in London on April 30 of 1937 & these went issued originally on british Parlophone F-784 & british Odeon OF-5421 (https://www.discogs.com/es/Victor-Silvester-and-His-Ballroom-Orchestra-The-Sweetheart-Waltz-September-In-The-Rain/release/8674632), the latter for export to other countries.
"Settembre Sotto La Pioggia" is the italian translation for "September In The Rain".
The above information comes from Brian Rust & Sandy Forbes's book "British Dance Bands On Record, 1911-1945".
My copy is from the 2nd edition, which was published on 1989 & included a list of additions & corrections which is very useful.
