xiphophilos 18th Oct 2017		The electrically recorded version from 1927 was released on Victor 35822. For comparison, there's a video of the 1927 version available too.

LouisSidney 11th Jan 2013		I agree; linked this with French edition.



Olorin67 11th Jan 2013		It's hard to beat this version, despite the primitive recording. If you like this, check out the 1930 Quentin Maclean theater organ version on YouTube. He follows this version quite closely, only he has to do all the parts by himself!
