Happy Holidays from the Hardys

Opening with an orchestral version of "Jingle Bells", MGM released this three minute short featuring "The Hardy Family" to wish their Loews theater patrons a Merry Christmas. Films like "The Wizard of Oz", "Ninotchka", and "Gone with the Wind" made 1939 a very "Green Christmas" season for the studio, with box office king Mickey Rooney and his "The Hardy Family" film series giving everyone a run for their money. Though listed as 1939, the short may have been seen in 1938.

Unfortunately shown in black-and-white, we begin with a typically excited Mickey Rooney (as Andy Hardy) running downstairs on Christmas morning. He gets just what he wanted, an extremely well-trained dog. As the two yelp and play together, the rest of the family arrives in robes and pajamas. Fatherly judge Lewis Stone unwraps a new fishing pole, then wishes viewers the happiest of holidays from "The Hardy Family". Audiences are thanked for their patronage, which would continue...
