EDITORS COMMENTS
This Catalogue cover from His Masters Voice records, dated December 1934, invites us to explore the world of entertainment in the 1930s. The cover, titled "Gifts of Lasting Pleasure," showcases a delightful array of portraits featuring some of the most renowned singers and performers of the era. In the foreground, we find Al Jolson, the "Jazz Singer," with his signature grin and expressive eyes, holding a microphone as if ready to serenade us. Next to him, the elegant and sultry voice of Grace Moore, known as "Mommie," gazes seductively at the camera, her hands delicately placed on the piano keys. On the right side, we encounter the suave and debonair Noel Coward, the quintessential English playwright, composer, and actor, who was also an accomplished singer. Coward's captivating presence is further accentuated by the mysterious and alluring figure of Ella Shain, also known as Essie Ackland, a popular American jazz and blues singer. The lower half of the cover introduces us to an array of talented men, including the beloved British comedian and actor, Gracie Fields, with her infectious smile and playful expression. Next to her, we find the dashing Australian tenor, Derek Oldham, and the baritone Jack Hulbert, who was known for his comedic performances. The cover also features portraits of other notable artists such as Bing Crosby, Paul Whiteman, and Caruso, as well as the inimitable duo of George Formby and Harry Secombe. The sepia tones of the cover evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth, transporting us back to a bygone era when the power of the human voice reigned supreme in the world of entertainment. This Catalogue cover is a testament to the enduring appeal of music and the performers who brought joy and laughter to audiences during the 1930s. Each portrait captures a moment in time, immortalizing the essence of these legendary artists and their timeless performances.
