She made some commercial recordings in the early 1930's, but I've never found any in the wild.

I didn't know she made recordings. I remember her from the Dick Van Dyke show. She was so funny.

She's one of the performers in the film International House (1933). She must have been about 10 or 11 years old at the time, so you can get a pretty good idea of her abilities when she was in her childhood prime. The movie already anticipates television, too! WC Fields is featured, along with Burns & Allen, and a host of other, mostly forgotten, entertainers and personalities of the period.

Someone posted it on YouTube awhile back, without the opening titles. According to the Internet Movie Database, it runs eight minutes. This one is 7:47 minutes, so it's essentially complete --

Baby Peggy is still living. She's the last person alive who could be considered a bona fide star of the silent screen. Don't think she made any phonograph records though.

Baby Peggy is often placed just behind Jackie Coogan in terms of her celebrity as child actor in the 1920's.

R.I.P. Rose Marie, that Vitaphone film is charming. Can't say I ever really watched the Dick Van Dyke show, except in passing.
