1930, actually. Victor Canada also turned out a couple of recordings in the
216500 series, by the "Victor Theremin". (Her name was something like Zoraida
Hannenfeld. Not listed in the Victor Master Book and the record wasn't in the
catalog by 1932 so I'd have to look at the label, wherever that record is
stashed.)
