J is for "Junior Miss" - a musical which first aired on CBS on December 20, 1957, on an episode of The DuPont Show of the Month. Joan Bennett (Elizabeth, et al) played Grace Graves, and she even sang and danced! 

Well... I'm assuming she danced, anyway. I know she sang at least one song, and usually people dance in musicals, too. I was only 2-1/2 years old then, so if I watched it, I don't remember!
