Yes, the time is here at last
when the houses are gayly light
ed, and through the frosty win
dow panes we see family gather
ings in progress reflecting the fi
esta spirit in the hearts of those
assembled beneath the northern
star in celebration of the greatest
day in the year—Christmas. This
is the time when the true feeling
of love and friendship is reflected
in the faces of children gayly an
ticipating the arrival of the brill
iant red sleigh bearing gifts for
all.
We, the staff of APRS, can do
little to express our thanks to you
w for the cooperation which you
have given us, and for the many
ways in which you have express
ed your satisfaction of the servic
es we have rendered you in the
year 1950.
And while we are at it, from
our hearts we wish you one and
all a very merry Christmas and
happy New Year—

As a featured service for our!
listeners^ we now present 3 spec
ial listing of our excellent choice
of Christmas programs, and tell
you a little about what you may
expect to hear.
Our* first is truly a double five
star presentation—Charles Dick
ens’ “A CHRISTMAS CAROL,**
starring such great movie and
stage actors and actresses as B&
s i 1 Rathbone, Elliot Lewis, Jay
Movello, Arthur Q. Bryan, Ray
mond Lawrence, Francis Bush
man, Rhoda Williams and many
others, in a production as adapted
by Edith Meither. This 30-minute
program comes combined with the
most famous of the Christmas car
ols sung by the Lyn Murry Sing
ers.
This edition comes on Sunday
evening, December 24 at 8, p.m.
Another very important five
star performance, the last in the
series presented this week, is the
grand climax of “The Greatest
Story Ever Told/* presentations
describing legends and truths of
events connected with Christmas.
This is fhe story Of the Flight into
Egypt, which, you remember, took
place after the birth of our Lord.
The story reflects vivedly the life
and personalities of the people
living at that time.
On the Fred Waring Show, we
see two aspects of Christmas^—
the Saint Nicholas legend and the
beautiful Story of Christ, all pre
sented with beautiful choral en
semble and orchestration. Some of
the selections on the program will
be “The Night Before Christmas/*
“The Song of Christmas/*' and the
glee club singing ‘The First Noel/
‘Silent Night/ and ‘O Little Town
of Bethlehem.* Weeks of rehersal
were spent in bringing you this
truly great expression of Christ
mas Spirit set to music. Join us,
won’t you?
Now, for the kids on Christ
mas Eve, we offer such selections
as Gene Autry in a program of
tunes all the kids know, and the
grown-ups, too, are sure to enjoy.
For other Christmas presenta
tions of programs you often hear
over AFRS, refer to the programs
listed in heavy type in your daily
radio guide.
Christmas Day Programs—
First we would like to announce
that for our listening audience we
have* an extra special presentation
for you, as written wor OUR sta
tion, representing the Armed For*
ces Network. How? Well, some of
the announcers got together and
prepared it with the help of some
of your favorite actors, singers
and actresses. Here’s the scoop, if
you’ll pardon the expression.—
A CHRISTMAS VISIT WITH
TED MALONE featuring Amer
ica’s foremost story teller with
Dick Leibert at the organ and the
orchestra under the direction of
Ben Ludlow. Also featured on this
10 a.m. show is the Church in the
Wildwood Choir.
You will hear comedy, music,
and have loads of fun with us
when you go on a Christmas visit
with VINCENT LOPEZ at 12:30
p.m. Vincent Lopez will be the
master of ceremonies, introducing
such stars as June Cristy, Fran
Warren, Tex Beneke and the
Christmas Choir. We hope you
like it. It’s just to you, from us.
Next on the schedule I see
“COMMAND PERFORMANCE”.
There isn’t much I can say about
this show, for your many requests
and praises speak for me, and
have kept this show on the air for
such a long time. It features mu
sic, drama, and comedy, all rolled
up into one: solid hour of grand
entertainment. This Christmas you
will hear such noted stars and ac
tors as Jimmy Wellington, Laur
itz Melchior, Linda Darnell, Grou
cho Marx, Robert Shaw, and a
host of others, including Francis
Langford and Dinah Shore. That's
Command Performance of 1950.
For the kids, now, it’s SHOW
TIME, a four-star presentation of
story and song especially designed
for the younger generation; but
naturally, all are cordially invited
to join in cm the fun and hear Vic
tor Herbert’s “Babes in Toyland”
and music by the Showtime Or
chestra. r
Well, that’s a rounding out of
the schedule, but there are so
many top shows it’s impossible to
include them all, but we have
tried to give you an inkling of
what’s coming. Be good, and re
member, 1402’s the spot, we’ll be
seeing ya, and once more, a very
Merry Christmas to all.
