Judy Garland On Judy Garland (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
The broadcast went on as scheduled, but with frequent interruptions for special news bulletins. Answering the War Department’s call to help boost morale in army camps around the country, Judy took her place as one of the first entertainers to sing for troops during World War II. Just weeks after Pearl Harbor, she and Rose left on a USO tour of the Midwest. Rose served as her accompanist during the demanding month of singing a program of twelve songs for three or four shows a day. By the time the travelers reached Camp Wolters in Mineral Wells, Texas, their fifth and final stop, Judy collapsed with a severe case of strep throat. Back home in Los Angeles, Judy remained patriotic and continued to assist in the war effort by entertaining on numerous radio shows and at the Hollywood Canteen. She went back out on her own army camp circuit during the summer of 1943 and was soon invited by the Hollywood Victory Committee to join its Hollywood Bond Cavalcade, a sixteen-city tour that left Washington, DC, on September 8.
