@Portis1Luv You are so very much right. It's a shame. And when you listen to these old records - "it's enough for me".

Ivor Novello was one of the best actors and singers of the 1900's. He died at 50 of cardiovascular death. He was known for his roles in the Alfred Hitchcock films and was an open homosexual.

[rmt49]

the song was made in 1915. Music by Ivor Novello and written by lenda Guilbert Ford. :)

@rmt49 I'm afraid that's inaccurate. This number was released in 1917.

Nice to see someone who's actually posted a "technically correct" victrola video. Most of the other videos on Youtube are of electrical-era recordings being played (and damaged) on acoustic machines. Great work!
