The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Here's what may sound like a familiar melody from "A Winsome Widow" which ran for 176 performances in 1912. This record is from the same year.

It is sung by Victor (and Edison) recording artist Elizabeth Wheeler, who was not part of the original cast. Her duets on record, with husband Frederick Wheeler were fairly popular around the time.

Wolfe,

Thanks for sharing these with us. If anyone here is interested, here is the link to this production on the IBDB site, and here is the song list.

Loew’s New York changed its name to the Moulin Rouge for this musical in 1912.
