I have the titles (and scores) of some arrangements written by Leo Zeitlin
between 1925 and 1930 for one of the Capitol Theatre orchestras, and I'd like
to find out which Sunday evening they were performed on the Major Bowes'
Capitol Theatre Family radio show (internal evidence indicates that that's when
they were played). I've looked at the Capitol's radio scrapbooks at Lincoln
Center Library, but the clippings only occasionally mention the names of
individual tunes.
I'm willing to read an entire run of a magazine for that period (or every Sun
or Mon of a newspaper), if someone can suggest what publication carried the
most detailed listings of what would be (or was) performed on any given Sunday
evening.
TIA, and please excuse cross-postings.
