Unknown March Tunes on Reproduco Roll
By Robbie Rhodes

Tom Lear sent these tune titles for Capitol OS-196 that he found
in a list compiled by Frank Himpsl.  They seem to match the unknown
tunes that Douglas Heffer recorded.

    Capitol OS-196 MARCH PROGRAM
    1. Our Director - March (by F. E. Bigelow, 1892)
(a) 2. Rotary March (by Joseph M. Hahn, 1916)
(b) 3. Under The Double Eagle (by J. F. Wagner, 1902)
(c) 4. Army And Navy - March (by Edmund Braham, 1911)
(d) 5. Italian Royal March ("Marcia Reale" by Giuseppe Gabetti, 1831)
(e) 6. Seventh Regiment - March (?)

The only composer that hasn't been confirmed is the composer of tune
#6 (e).  It's not the march by Ernest Neyer, nor by Eddie Quinn;
maybe Grafulla?  The name "Seventh Regiment" or similar appears on
several different marches, so we need the sheet music or an annotated
audio recording for confirmation.

Thanks to Tom Lear and Paul Baker and Matthew Caulfield and Dan
Robinson for their assistance.
