Johnny Marvin (1897 - 1944) was a singer in the 1920s and 1930s on radio and records. He was one of the great crooners on the 1920s and was known for his own accompaniment on the ukelele. In late 1926, Marvin appeared in the Broadway play Honeymoon Lane, playing and singing the show tunes in the role of Honey Duke. He was very successful in this role, continuing into mid-1927, a year that brought the most prolific recording of his career. He signed exclusively with Victor Records and started touring in a vaudeville act. He had his own show on NBC radio in New York for five years; later prominent on west coast radio. He wrote music for Gene Autry and formed a music publishing company with Autry. Composer or lyricist of songs including "There's a little Deserted Town", "Goodbye, Little Darlin', Goodbye", "Goodbye Pinto", "I've Learned a Lot About Women", "Listen to the Rhythm of the Range", and "At the Close of a Long, Long Day."

BTW that comment I just made is not spam, I'm an old movie and music lover who will do anything to see and hear my favorite music and movies in the world and play these tunes on my old Wurlitzer organ.

This music isn't old at all!

For an excellent treat watch ' City Girl'. Charles Farrell and Mary Duncan. It's a silent movie from 1930, but with the most incredibly rich image quality. By all means just get bittorrent and go to cinematerrents. These old movies have been tested. It's the newer crap you have to watch out for. Just don't upload a torrent that hasn't had many uploads.
