  • The 1930s saw the newly born genre of the Hollywood musical bloom with artistry and variety never before imagined. For many filmgoers, the Hollywood musical gave them escape and hope during the troubled years of the Great Depression. Highlights of this 2-part program include the magic of director/choreographer Busby Berkeley, musical child stars such as Jane Withers, Deanna Durbin, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney and the biggest, little-star of the decade, Shirley Temple, the musical ladies of 20th-Century Fox including Sonja Henie, Betty Grable and that superstar of song, Alice Faye, dancers such as Eleanor Powell, Bill `Bojangles` Robinson, the Nicholas Brothers, and James Cagney, singing cowboys like Gene Autry and Roy Rogers and musical fantasies such as the crowned jewel of the decade, "The Wizard of Oz."
