This record was produced in New York City on March 24th 1920 featuring Frank Crumit vocals, with band accompaniment.

*"So Long Oolong" was written by Harry Ruby, with lyrics by Bert Kalmar.

As an accomplished balladeer Frank Crumit sings this Orient inspired comedy song with a serious approach taking full advantage of his beautiful tenor voice.

(Although it once reigned as a popular hit this selection is racist and considered extremely offensive to people of Oriental ancestry by today's standard.)
