Description
Here is a scarce record by seven-year-old movie star, SYBIL JASON. A precocious talent from South Africa, Sybil was playing piano at two, doing celebrity imitations at four, was a radio and film star by age six! She arrived in Hollywood, touted as a rival to Shirley Temple at age seven! She starred opposite Al Jolson in "The Singing Kid," and stood up to him very well.
On this 1936 Decca record, Sybil charmingly croons two songs written especially for her, "MIKE, MY LITTLE BLACK SCOTTIE," and "THE KING IS STILL MY PRINCE CHARMING." Watch out, Shirley!
Sybil is accompanied on both sides by her pianist father, HARRY JACOBSON.
Full disclosure: I knew Sibyl Jason in the '90s and '00s, and she was as lovely and unjaded in her 70s as she must have been as a child.
This original 1936 "Sunburst" Decca 1253 is in astounding E+ condition.
PHOTO: Sibyl Jason in 1936, looking adorable of course.

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
