In this movie short, Judy Garland(age7), who was known as Baby or Frances Gumm, is performing with her older sisters (Mary Jane Gumm, Virginia Gumm). This may have been her film debut. The future Betty Boop (Helen Kane)sang at the beginning.

So tiny and so full of talent.
ReplyDeleteShe sure was cute.. Although, I really could not understand what she was singing. :)
ReplyDeleteJudy sure was cute, but I wonder what happened to the rest of them? Especially that gruff-voiced litte 'comet'!!
ReplyDeletecallmemadam, Sorry.. All I know is that they were called The Vitaphone Kiddies.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Judy Garland Database, Judy's screen debut was in "The Big Revue." I've seen it on YouTube, which the uploader amusingly called "The Big Revenue." The quality of the clip you posted is much better, though! Another clip that unfortunately seems to have disappeared features the sisters singing "La Cucaracha" with a ghastly gringo accent.
ReplyDeleteJoseph, How amazing is that!! Thank you for posting, such a fun clip.. Loved it!!
