Christmas Show

Maxwell Hoth Coffee presents Good News of 1939. The makers of Maxwell Hoth Coffee present 60 star-studded minutes filled with Christmas cheer and holiday spirit from the Metro Golden Mayor Studios in Hollywood. Tonight you will hear Robert Taylor, Rita Johnson, Fanny Bright with Hanley Stafford, Frank Morgan, Tony Martin and Meredith Wilson.

Here is your host for this evening, Robert Cox. Hi. Thank you, Warren. Meredith Wilson and the orchestra get our show underway with a musical tribute to one of the sweetest and best loved stars on the MGM lot, Eleanor Powell.

He calls it, here's to Eleanor, and in it you will find Rosalie, my lucky star, and from her newest picture, the title song, Honolulu. I just walked into my dressing room and I saw all the 12 presents you saw as God for me, See, I don't know what to say.

I thought I told you that to a chair. Very Christian. Very Christian. How did you know that was just what I wanted? I'm psyched. A suit of long underwear. Fits me like a glove. Daytona, did you like the hot water bag I gave you?

Bob, just my color. Oh fine. D-fellas, you know, I wanted to reciprocate and everything. Oh no, Tony. Don't think anything about it. Oh really? I really mean it. I've been terribly busy, but I finally found time to do a little shopping after all.

I just couldn't get a thing. Well, why not? The dime store was too crowded. All right, Santa Claus, I think you bet it's thing. Ladies and gentlemen, Tony Martin sings a new arrangement of one of Raymond Scott's early compositions, Christmas Night in Harlem.
