Mr. Hall is not new in the recording game,
having made several records for the Victor
Talking Machine Co. during the last two years.
One recording, his own composition, "It Ain't
Gonna Rain No Mo','' enjoyed one of the great-
est sales of any popular vocal record ever re-
leased. His famous ballad recording of another
one of his compositions, "Land of My Sunsei
Dreams," was a good seller.

"All That She Is Is an Old-fashioned Girl,"
