MARY SMALL - LOVE THY NEIGHBOR
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR (SCREEN SONGS) 1934 |
|
Mary Small grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, where her father was a local vaudeville performer. As a child, she was friends with Baby Mary Rose, who was a star by 1928. It was around the same time that Small made her first appearance on radio - she was six or seven years old. In 1933, at eleven years old, Small got her first break after making a singing appearance on NBC radio's Rudy Valle Hour. The following year in 1934, Max Fleischer featured eleven year old Small in a Screen Songs cartoon performing Love Thy Neighbor - a song introduced the same year by Bing Crosby in the film We're Not Dressing. In the Fleischer film, Small is introduced as "The Little Girl With The Big Voice" - a title she was heavily promoted under. Small was the original entertainer that performed with this title, it was later used by Judy Garland and Jackie Evancho. Throughout the 1930's - 1950's Small was a hugely prominent radio, television, Broadway and film star.
