Storyline

This MGM short film has Jackie Cooper asking his mom to host a Christmas party for the boys on his football team. She agrees but there are far too many kids to have it in her house so he gets permission from Louis B. Mayer to hold the party in one of MGM's many sound stages. As an extra added attraction, many MGM stars - including Clark Gable, Lionel Barrymore and Ramon Novarro to name only a few - serve the children their dinner. Written by garykmcd
