Hollywood Cavalcade

Included in the Alice Faye Collection: Volume 2

In the Golden Age of Hollywood, Alice Faye was Twentieth Century Fox's Golden Girl. She combined her enduring charm with a sophisticated sensual sound that fans adored.

We meet Molly Adair (Faye) in 1913, toiling as a stage actress in New York City, when she’s discovered by an ambitious young director (Oscar Winner Don Ameche) who aspires to make it big in the fledgling motion picture business. As the years pass, and Molly’s star continues to rise, we experience first-hand what gave silent films their magic and mystique – from slapstick comedies and custard pies, to Keystone Cops and Bathing Beauties, all the way to the iconic "talkie" The Jazz Singer, which signaled the end of the Silent Era – and forever changed the way the world sees movies!
