Frank Whitbeck narrates this piece puffing some of MGM's newest players, including Donna Reed, Van Johnson, and Esther Williams, some who worked and never made the top rung, like Susan Peters, and some whose names faded into obscurity.
More than the players themselves, it's a puff piece for MGM. Back then, the studios had distinct personalities, and MGM's motto was 'More stars than there are in Heaven' and the short ends with a fanfare and a series of shots of the current names. That's what MGM thought would sell pictures!
