March 11, 1938: Judy's 1938 "Everybody Sing" tour took her to Chicago, where, just a few years earlier, she and her sisters appeared at the World's Fair and changed their name from "The Gumm Sisters" to "The Garland Sisters."

March 10, 1963: Judy Garland appeared on "Sunday Night At The London Palladium," broadcast live out of London. Her performance of "Smile" is among her best and possibly the definitive version of the song.

Apparently, that’s his “war drag.”
Record critics welcomed the new label, and the Clouds set received good reviews. MGM was off and running with a new revenue stream while creating a new market: the original soundtrack album.

March 7, 1947: The newly formed MGM Records label was promoting the release of the very first MGM Records album, the soundtrack to "Till The Clouds Roll By." In today’s parlance, the album “dropped” on Tuesday, March 11, 1947.

She's horrible. I can't believe they had her back. But she has a book to sell. And apparently she found Jesus (he was lost again). My dead pet turtle carries on a conversation better than she does.
March 3, 1967: Judy Garland attended daughter Liza Minnelli's wedding to Peter Allen in New York, escorted by her ex-husband (and Liza's dad) Vincente Minnelli.

This is Hippo. He's visiting Scotland for the first time. Had no idea they made squeaky toys for humans too. 14/10 (TT: kelseydarragh)
The fact that they're already making excuses for why he can't serve tells us everything we need to know about their intentions.
March 2, 1938: Judy Garland’s "Everybody Sing" tour was enjoying more success, this time in Pittsburgh, PA.

I hope they all come out and testify to what they saw!

February 26, 1938: Judy Garland’s personal appearance in Pittsburgh, PA, was a huge success. The appearance was to promote her latest film, "Everybody Sing."

"Variety’s" review of the Pittsburgh show noted, “Anything trying to follow Miss Garland is immediately behind the eight ball” (the show featured other acts) and “Youngster delivering as few others have around here in several seasons,” singling out the song “Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen” as “very slick.”
The Pittsburgh crowds were so big, the local papers reported, that traffic was stopped for half an hour, and the crowd was four abreast, with “thousands pushed and strained.”
