Cicely Courtneidge was a beloved British musical-comedy actress and comedienne whose stage and recording career spanned decades. This HMV pressing, catalogue 3892 — an early single-sided number — contains 'The Little Japanese Mamma'. The HMV 3000-series is an early acoustic-era catalogue; a single-sided HMV pressing by Courtneidge is earlier and less common than her interwar recordings.
