Seek Duo-Art "American in Paris"
By Spencer Chase

I have been looking for the two-roll set of "American in Paris" on
Duo-Art rolls for quite some time.  I need them to scan for the
purpose of preserving the music.  So far I have not been able to find
original rolls in good condition.

The way they were perforated encourages them to fall to pieces,
especially as the paper they were made on is some of the worst.
They were made at the very close of the era and not too many were made.

I need a copy of the first roll with the last feet in good condition.
I have the rest scanned and it is fine.  There is a similar problem
with the second roll but I have not seen the copy that I intend to scan
and do not know how much of this roll is bad but it is supposed to be
just the end.

If anyone has these rolls I would very much like to borrow them for
scanning.
