Gene Autry - You're The Only Star (In My Blue Heaven) / Mexicali Rose		B Gene Autry Mexicali Rose Stone, Tenney

I am looking for any indication that lyricist Helen Stone is a real person!

I think Jack invented her, there is nothing 1923-present

Around what time, after CBS' purchase of ARC, did Columbia move its Chicago studios out of the Furniture Mart building into CBS network facilities? (I know 1956 was when they settled at 630 N. McClurg Court, but in-between those . . . )

Cootie Williams - Red Blues / Things Ain't What They Used To Be		'There is a long history of chicanery in the recording industry'

you are so correct, especially the claims submitted to the US Copyright Office by publishers and artists back in this time period. The first record with the title "Red Blues" is already making me laugh. What is "FT"? Doesn't matter, just curious
