Walter Van Brunt
Walter Van Brunt (April 22, 1892 – April 11, 1971) was an American tenor known initially for his recordings on Thomas Alva Edison's Blue Amberol Records and later for his rôle in a scandal involving a stage name and case of adultery.
Van Brunt began his singing career at age 17 as an imitator of singer Billy Murray. He was soon performing with Ada Jones and John Bieling as well as the American Quartet. He worked in vaudeville and on Broadway, including in the musical ''Eileen''. Van Brunt had 40 hits on pop charts, including his 1914 duet with Elizabeth Spencer.〔, YouTube.

In 1917, Van Brunt began using the name Walter J. Scanlan (newspapers sometimes erroneously rendered the name as "Scanlon"), which was the name of a late 19th century Irish tenor who had had an established career before dying but never made any recordings. It has been suggested, but not proved, that the Irish-American composer of ''Eileen'', Victor Herbert, had encouraged the use of this stage name when he cast Van Brunt as the leading man. It was not a secret that this was a stage name: ''The New York Times'' review of ''Eileen'' stated that Scanlan’s real name was Van Brunt.〔"''Eileen'' Brim Full of Rich Melodies", ''The New York Times'', March 20, 1917, p. 9〕 Van Brunt later had a bigamous affair with a woman known as Ruth Scanlan, siring a child with her and prompting his wife Lillian to sue for divorce, which was granted in 1925 by an Irish-American judge who, in announcing his decision that Van Brunt should pay alimony, criticized Van Brunt's character.〔Allan Sutton, ("The Walter Scanlan Scandal: The Rest of the Walter Van Brunt Story" ) on Mainspring (accessed 10 February 2010). Van Brunt, as indicated by the tussenvoegsel ''Van'', was of Dutch not Irish extraction.〕
From 1929 to 1933, Murray used Van Brunt on various radio programs.〔("Walter Van Brunt" ) listing among the "Songwriters' Friends", (Songwriters Hall of Fame ). Accessed 10 February 2010.〕 In 1929, Scanlon and Billy Murray provided the voices for the Fleischer short animation film ''Finding His Voice'', produced by Western Electric.
