Judy Garland on radio

"... we know someone who can sing (and we mean that plenty!). That's Mrs. Garland's little daughter Judy. You'll be mighty glad to know that she's no longer just guesting with Jack Oakie's College; she's a regular now, and if you ask us, the high spot on the whole show. Take a tip right now on a sure thing - Judy Garland is the most terrific youngster on the air, and a year from now - well, sky's the limit." [Photoplay, June 1937]
