This "party" was a celebration/promotion for the Christmas 1937 release of Nelson's movie Rosalie. The main cast joined him, including Eleanor Powell, Ilona Massey, Frank Morgan and Ray Bolger. Jimmy Stewart is the host and even studio head Louie B. Mayer says a few words. By the way, he is introduced as "our daddy" - remember that Nelson hated Mayer insisting that HE was Nelson's father now and knew best about everything. Nelson had issues with his own father so didn't feel he needed another one...At any rate, both men are civil to each other during the show.
