This was the first New Year’s Eve since the USA entered WWII. The annual Christmas Holiday Show with “H.M. Pulham, Esq.” on screen, opened on December 18th and ran for 13 days.
I wonder if “H.M.Pulham,Esq” was a disappointment which is why they didn’t hold it through the New Year. The New York Times calls it a dull film but says the Christmas stage show is quite spectacular. Babes on Broadway should have been the Christmas film and would have definitely played through the holidays.
The finale is one of the best things Berkeley and Garland ever did but will never receive the recognition it deserves or possibly even a bluray because it is in blackface.
