A selection of musical milestones from the golden days of the silver screen
starring Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland
with Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra, June Preisser, William Tracy

A lively, tuneful story of a High School Band's attempts to turn itself into a streamlined orchestra.
This is the second Garland/Rooney film to be featured in The Hollywood Musical. The first, Babes in Arms, was seen some months ago. Both films were directed by Busby Berkeley, famed dance director of the 1930s, whose kaleidoscopic numbers were the keynote of countless M.G.M. musicals of the time. Arthur Freed has also long been associated with M.G.M.-the films he produced for that studio still rank as some of the best musicals ever made: Meet Me in St. Louis, On the Town, An American in Paris, and Singin' in the Rain are only a few.
Famous bandleader Paul White man makes a rare screen appearance in tonight's film. His patronage is instrumental in turning the school musicians into a hot swing combo.
