ABSTRACT
A rare American issue, affiliated with Plaza and perhaps with Crown, distributed by the Chicago Mail Order Co. during the mid-1920s. Material was popular vocals and dance music. [Kendziora 1989/4; Rust 1978.]
A female vocal trio formed to make Edison Diamond Discs. They recorded from 1917 to 1923, making 24 sides. Members were Gladys Rice, Betsy Lane Shepherd, and Amy Ellerman. Elizabeth Spencer replaced Rice in 1921. Their first record was “Indiana” (Edison Diamond Disc 80334; 1917); it became one of Edison’s best sellers. Another popular item was “Keep the Home Fires Burning” (82149; 1918). [Walsh 1973/2.]
