Garland and her family moved into 1231 Stone Canyon Road while still working on The Wizard of Oz. Though the original paper and printed text blurbs say that this party was for her 16th birthday, it was really her 17th birthday in June 1939. She is seen dancing in her living room with co-star Mickey Rooney. 

Paper blurb, printed blurb and code ink stamp on verso. Still is coded “1088 x 48”.
