Christmas in Hollywood - Silent Film Star Shirley Mason - 1923 Gennett Record

Here is Silent Film Star Shirley Mason (1900-1979) talking about Christmas in Hollywood in 1923 on Special Issue Gennett Record. In this old news clipping from it 1923 it says: GREAT GENNETT SELLER.
The Gennett Christmas Greeting records were
among the biggest sellers in records in the week be-
fore Christmas . The "Ten Gifts That Actually Speak
Your Christmas Greetings " as the advertising so
aptly announced, offered a choice that was considered
a boon by a vast number of holiday shoppers. In
them the holiday spirit was voiced by famous authors,
humorists and stage folk. The ten greeting records
included numbers by Bebe Daniels, William Jen-
nings Bryan, Wilbur D. Nesbit, Kin Hubbard, Sid
Smith (Andy Gump), Meredith Nicholson, Shirley
Mason and Mitzi Hajos

According to your video description Shirley Mason died at the age of 23. According to my quick research, the year was 1979.

You are correct. I was aware of that date, but forgot to proof read my typing of the information. I have made the correction. Thanks for the head up !!

How interesting! This must have been a wonderful thing to listen to on a Christmas morning, when she was starring in films.

I'd like to hear a mainstream movie actress of today speak as elegantly as Shirley. Where's the charm gone?
