Bubbles is a 1930 American Vitaphone Varieties short film released by Warner Bros. in Technicolor. It was filmed in December 1929 at the First National Pictures studio with Western Electric apparatus, an early sound-on-film system, Rel. No. 3898.[1][2] Bubbles is one of the earliest surviving recordings of Judy Garland on film, at 8 years old.[2][3][4]
A Vitaphone short film directed by Roy Mack, Bubbles features a land of make-believe where The Vitaphone Kiddies perform seven short singing, dancing and acrobatic acts. The opening act is Marjorie Kane singing "My Pretty Bubble". The second act is Judy Garland and her two older sisters, then known collectively as The Gumm Sisters, singing "In the Land of Let's Pretend", a song from Warner Bros' 1929 film On with the Show!, with Garland singing a short solo.[5][2][6] The third act is one of the Vitaphone Kiddies singing the song "Miss Wonderful" from Paris. The next is a tap dancing number in ballet pointe shoes to "My Pretty Bubble". The fifth is a Vitaphone kiddie singing "Go Find Somebody to Love" from Little Johnny Jones. The following act is an acrobatic act to "My Pretty Bubble". The finale is a tap dance to "Lady Luck" from The Show of Shows.[1]
