Ginger gave Ann the part, after the casters though she was to tall to dance with her. Miller's wore low heels...and I thought purposefully lets herself look more dowdy, than the huge star Ginger was at the time. This shows both Ginger's humanity and personal generosity, and Miller's gumption as a 15 year old. They remained friends all their lives. The lovely Ginger was 26 in 1937.
@toober222 DTs are delirium tremens, the shakes you get from alcohol withdrawal (back then I think DTs would have meant the same thing, and it makes sense in the context of dancing). Another nickname for "the shakes" of alcoholism is "jazz hands" actually :)
Ann is young--but more like 16 or here. She lied to be older--and everbody has now tried to make her younger! Trust me---22 years of research and interviews with Miss Miller! Talent is extraordinary from both these dolls!!
Ann was so adorable here!

1:42 "No, we're just getting over the DTs." Is that what she said? Haha, thanks for uploading this treasure.

@toober222 What are "the DTs"?

@JAfan3993 Don't know, that's what I'm asking. Some terms changes meaning across 74 years. Anyone?
