-- non-subscriber, please reply to sender and MMDigest --
I got the date wrong in my previous email [080311 MMDigest]. The Felix
Arndt manuscripts are stamped "Recording Dept.", April and May, 1913.
No company is named, but I assume it's Aeolian.
Here is the complete list of transcriptions in Felix Arndt's hand.
The Duo-Art catalog number is shown when it appears in the Duo-Art
rollography by Charles Davis Smith.
