Very interesting. Great research. But why the repeated difference in the spelling of the name?

I'm not sure. IMDb lists him as "Ray Hallor, a.k.a. Ray Haller," and the Times referred to both "Ray Hallor's Seven Seas" and (after about 1936) "Ray Haller's Seven Seas."

Maybe people tended to mispronounce Hallor, so he switched to a more phonetic spelling?
