There Was Room for a Stranger

Free taste, your thoughtfulness. The makers of Hallmark greeting cards bring you the true and heartwarming story of a lonely young man's Christmas Eve in a small American town starring Frank Sinatra. More than a third of a century, quality has been a habit with the makers of Hallmark cards.

They are the kind of cards you can be proud to send, proud to receive. That's why through the years, hallmark cards have been America's favorite reading cards. So if you want to send the very finest, look on the back for the three identifying words of hallmark cards.

These three words of hallmark cards are your assurance of finest qualities. They tell your friends you care enough to send the very best. And now as usual, here is Richard Kalmer, Well known Broadway actor and producer to preside over tonight's hallmark program.

Mr. Palmer. Thank you, Tom, Shelley and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Our guest tonight is a fairly successful and fortunate young man. He's one of the stars of the MGM Technical and Musical to the Clouds Roll by.

He has his own radio show on CBS for old gold cigarettes every Wednesday night. He has a voice and a degree of personal charm that has made him the idol of a generation of Americans.

and he has at his disposal this evening what I consider to be one of the very finest dramatic scripts that we've ever presented on the Hallmark program. Ladies and gentlemen, Frank Sinatra. Thank you. I say I certainly agree with you about tonight's script.

And as Crosby might say, Mr. Robert Sloan's sensitive and persuasive treatment of this reader's digestive narrative is a veritable classic of geometric felicity. Well, how would you say it, Frank? Well, I think I'd call it a happy story, and I'm glad it's a true one.
