Yet another Standard
artist about whom nothing can be discovered. I recently found Arto
roll #314, played by Hallan, entitled 'Listen To The Knocking At The
Knitting Club', a 1917 foxtrot composed by Von Tilzer, with words by
Bert Hanlon. Hanlon was a popular songwriter and vaudeville
actor based in New York, born August 19, 1890 as Abraham Handelsman.
He died January 1, 1972.
Could this
possibly be the real identity of Bert Hallan?
