The Magic Christmas Tree

Colgate Pomole Pete, makers of Colgate Dental Cream, Luster Cream, Champoo, and Pomole Shaving Creams, bring you our Miss Brooks starring E. Barden, and we take this joyous opportunity to wish you, on behalf of Colgate Pomole Pete, a glorious Merry Christmas.

And now, our Miss Brooks! It's time once again for another comedy episode of our Miss Brooks, written by Al Lewis. Well, most of us spent Christmas Eve with our families and friends. But our Miss Brooks, who teaches English at Madison High School, wasn't quite so fortunate.

No, my family was too far away to visit, and it seems my friends had other plans. But I made up my mind not to brood about it, and was trimming a rather tiny tree in our living room when my land-blady Mrs. Davis joined me.

What a nice tree, Connie. It isn't really Mrs. Davis, but it's the only one I could afford. Oh, what did you pay for it? I found it in a vacant lot. What I like about it is the size.

It's not too big or too small. It's just too small. I'd like to stay here and celebrate Christmas Eve with you, Connie. But I promised my sister Angela I'd come over to her place. You remember Angela? The absent-minded one?

Oh, certainly Mrs. Davis. She always got a big thrill out of the holidays, even when we were girls. Of course, the poor dear could never remember when it was actually Christmas, and one Christmas morning. She did the funniest thing.

What's that, Mrs. Davis? What's what, dear? What did Angela do? Angela? Your sister? My sister. The absent-minded one. What did she do? I haven't spoken to Angela in some time. What does she bring up to?
