"Mary Roberts Rinehart Rinehart wrote hundreds of short stories, poems, travelogues and articles.� Many of her books and plays were adapted for movies, such as THE BAT(1926), THE BAT WHISPERS(1930), and THE BAT(1959 remake).� In 1933 RCA Victor released THE BAT as one of the earliest talking book recordings."

I can find nothing about the company,but there is one of these up for sale on AbeBooks,and like my copy,it has no record.There is also reference to a "Little Black Sambo",in the same series owned by the Library of Congress. http://scholar.qsensei.com/content/17q6zm/sources/original�� This was all I could find.What I was wondering,was could this somehow be a successor to the Talking Book Corporation,who made those records on cards,with Emerson?Are there more of these 1940 records in Peter Muldavin's book?
