Interesting that the "ghost theater" fantasy sequence in MGM's #BabesOnBroadway features two George M. Cohan songs– including the title tune– that would be pivotal numbers in Yankee Doodle Dandy, the Warner Brothers Cohan biopic that was released just five months later. #TCMParty
Mickey Rooney hadn't left enough tooth marks on the scenery in #BabesOnBroadway, so they inserted this deserted theater fantasy sequence. #TCMParty
Young Judy Garland with a purple flower in her red hair.
The camera really loved Judy like few others. #BabesOnBroadway #TCMParty
I love that good chunks of this song and dance routine “How About You” are done in extended takes. They sure had a lot of marks to hit in that! #BabesOnBroadway #TCMParty

There was Alexander Woollcott in #BabesOnBroadway. He’s an alum of #HamiltonCollege. I believe he’s buried in the campus cemetery. That’s one of our job perks: a plot on the Hill. 🪦 #TCMParty.
Hello Party Friends! Here more for Judy Garland then Mickey Rooney. I know they were great friends. #BabesonBroadway #TCMParty
