There is some confusion as to whether this program aired in September 1938 or September 1939. However, listening to the show clearly places it in 1938. Robert Young mentions "Judy's latest picture, Love Finds Andy Hardy, and the entire program is dedicated to Norma Shearer and her latest picture, Marie Antoinette. The song "Could You Pass in Love" was a current hit introduced by Buddy Ebsen and Joan Davis in the Sonja Henie film My Lucky Star.

"Could You Pass in Love" is on CD: Judy Garland on Radio
