On this day in 1940: A busy day for Judy. At the MGM Studios, she posted for publicity photos with Jackie Cooper on the Ziegfeld Girl set (Judys film currently in production). Later that evening, she and Mickey Rooney participated in the Leo Is On The Air holiday broadcast, which was broadcast live from Santa Claus Lane (Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles). Judy and Mickey spoke to the crowds. The entire proceedings were recorded and released on the MGM Reporter record label to radio stations across the country (see image). At the end of the broadcast, MGM added the audio track of Judy singing Silent Night from the 1937 short of the same name.
