ANTOINE says
No clues about the lady or her piano acccompanist, alas. However, what she\'s singing is a 1919 song called \"The World Is Waiting For The Sunrise\", by Ernest Seitz (music)
and Gene Lockhart (lyrics). As both were Canadians, author\'s copyright in this work (as distinct from Pathé\'s neighbouring rights in the clip) extends to 50 years after the death year of the songwriters, this being 1978 for Seitz and 1957 for Lockhart, respectively. So, while the lyrics may be out of copyright, the music is definitely still protected.
