"Sally Hamlin (born Sarah Emery Hamlin, Dec. 23 1902, Brooklyn, New York, USA, died July 4, 1987, Bar Harbor, Maine) was a child actor and recording artist. She is a shadowy figure today, and would probably be completely forgotten were it not for a series of 78rpm spoken word recordings she made for children in the 1910s and 1920s. Sally recorded primarily for Victor, but also recorded a few 7" discs for Emerson Records. These records were readings of poetry by such authors as Eugene Field and James Whitcomb Riley, classic stories such as Cinderella and Rumpelstilskin, and even excerpts from Pollyanna by Eleanor H. Porter." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Hamlin Listen here: archive.org/details/SallyHamlin
