The Actors Equity record (35010) was recorded around April-May 1922, so 35042 will likely be from slightly later (in terms of recording and issue date).

I have a few red 12" Vocalions in my collection, great operatic material, especially Vesti La Giubba by Alfred Piccaver. You can view and listen to them here:

I've found them to be quite hard to find. These 4 are all I have found so far, including 1 with a blank reverse.

I have one, William Tell Overture. I like 12" records but a little bulky to handle.
