Does anyone know where the Pathe archives are?
Hello, I’m hoping to find a recording of this music or anything by Theresa Vaughn:
Little Wooden Shoes, “The World Bread Fund song” was ballad written by
Josephine Grow (Gro). It was written for medium voice and piano,
words by Lillian Mentor (Published by William A.Pond & Co. and T. B. Harms & Co.,
New York 1894 ).The song was once reported as recorded by Edison,
sung by Theresa Vaughn, Raymon Moore and others.
Proceeds of the sale were donated to the World Bread Fund charity.
They served 7000 loaves of bread to the poor every Sunday morning.
Josephine sold 300 copies among her friends, representing 600 loaves of bread.
The “Automation Piano Company” produced a piano roll of the song.
