It certainly is a wonderful parade Susan just look at that cloud Gosh what a giant giant mistake here there are no such things as a giant Well not know maybe but in olden days really missed a game and you were a lawyer well what about the giant the jack kids you know Jack and the Beanstalk everybody knows that's a fairy tale and I agree with my mother fairy tales and. I mean. Mother and my maid said no that they're like watching a great just a game we invited Hello darling so these told me quite a lot about you Mrs Walker she's done me quite a lot about you to a man in the front department. This is all part of a plot Mrs Walker I'm very fond of Susie but I also want to meet you you still. Don't even mention the name. That's out of college you see is a last minute substitute the one I. Remember the way the janitor was nice new years oh my time is right now I see Susie doesn't believe in Santa Claus either that's right she never has. The end of the brain matter I've been thinking it's Thanksgiving and there are only 2 of us invite Mr Gale Well I please don't bother of those sandwiches now we have such a big turn if you please mother played well well I didn't really ask All right nice to Susie us fine Susan did as a 3 Mr Gately. You know yes Mr shall have your makeshift You were at Thanksgiving but I just had to tell you it was Santa Claus Grant who will thank you Mr Banks himself want to be our toy department so fine. Can you hire him already. I just feel good we'll talk about it in the morning thanks for calling Mr Shell hammer. With. Your ears Mr Shell Hammer here Santa Clara as you average Thank you good morning Senator on morning now before you go to the toy department here's a list of toys that we have to push you know things we're overstuffed dawn now you'll find that a great many children will be undecided as to what they want for Christmas when that happens you immediately suggest one of these items you understand are certain to do but now take the list and Alfred here will show you to your throne in the toy department and don't forget you. Oh you really sent one of course I am what you want for Christmas little boy I'm going to fire engine we can really that's what we want water we will do in the house I want to do the backyard I promise and I promise you'll get your pride injured you see I tell you that time except the ending you might hear more than I am I want to thank Santa Claus tell us what's in that now now what's the trouble I told you the full I didn't and I the kid wants a fire engine but there isn't one that they had anywhere in town may see think that any Gamble thank God and then nobody has got any my feet are killing me and you say Ok you get the fire engine but you can get those fire engine shown from some lecture there when you're only for 50 wonderful bug sound. Don't get in front of the toy market very closely he's sending people to this fool you kidding the one important thing is to make the children heavy with a message or somebody else shows the toy doesn't matter to feel that way. Yes sure only I didn't know may seem. Like yes don't explain right away to Santa Claus. Well of course little girl you want some roller skates or you will have them too. He's going to bring me. Any handsome fine skates here at Macy's haven't you Santa cause they're good skates all right but not quite good and now I have some really wonderful rollerskate to give I'm sure gimbals have just what this good little go. For humans to sell Hannah involves him and that's just what he did say. The sales lady said I should speak to you. I just want to congratulate you when they see that that's wonderful instantiate pearling and how they got outfits like Macy's put the spirit of Christmas ahead of the come. Well from now on I am going to be a regular because that's. More than I was down. There in the tiny apartment over there Mr Gately you certainly know all about Macy's store don't you well that's because my mother was here but I still think it's silly bringing me here to see Santa Claus Well I just felt that if you talked to him maybe came Mr Gayley. Right. Now what a fine young lady and what your name little girl says Marcus what's yours mine Kris Kringle I'm Santa Claus. You don't believe that it you know you see my mother is Mrs Walker. But I must say the best looking Santa Claus I've ever seen really your beer for instance it doesn't have one of those things that goes over your ears Well that's because it's real just like I'm realist and the clothes going well it. Well right I think it is really. Now what would you like me to bring you for Christmas Nothing thank you whatever I want my mother will get it sensible and doesn't cost too much of course quite right Susan Oh no Mr Gately. Explanation for this is all very simple your maid's mother sprained her ankle she had to go home she asked me to bring Susie down and as long as we were here I'd figured it might as well say hello to Sam He has real rescues Mathes Susan would you mind standing over there a minute if you want. I shouldn't have brought in to see Sam. You're making me feel completely heartless I'm sorry don't you see I tell Susan that Santa Claus is a myth and you short a very convincing old man with real whiskers who is she to believe yeah yeah that's right when Susan was a baby have father and I were divorced ever since then I've protected my child by teaching her realities if you don't believe in fairy tales and fantasy you can never be hurt or disillusioned we were talking about Suzy and Mrs Walker and I must ask you to let me raise her as I see fit all right Dia would run along to my office . Thank. You want to see me oh yes yes. I'd be grateful if you would please tell Susan that you're not really Santa Claus that there actually is no such person this is a poor look at is this such a person but here I am to prove no no no you must understand I want you to tell her the truth now what's your real name Kris Kringle and I always tell the truth. I'll bet you're in the 1st very 2nd grade I mean your real name that is my real name my goodness the 2nd very well I have your employment card right here I look it up on that that's a very cute dress she was and it's from. We get 10 percent are. So you always tell the truth do you look at your employment card name Kris Kringle address books memorial him Great Neck Long Island or call him we could get to confirm it Walker it's a home for elderly gentleman would you also like me to confirm this date of birth or as old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth place of birth North Pole now really and why I believe you me Mrs world and this tops everything next of kin or their dash or dance or Prancer and Vixen I'm sorry to have to do this Mr Bingle But the Santa Claus that we had 2 years ago is back in town and I feel that we owe it to him too but I don't something wrong no no it's just the. Business to show advantage was what you're doing is to watch to see as I'm usually Oh I'll be right up. I'm afraid I'll have to be very abrupt with you I have to see Mr Macy you'll be paid for the full weakness to your check to that address. That Mrs Walker has to show how moved Thank you Mr know now about this new policy you are doing me she may sue Santa Claus sending customers to give I can explain everything when I don't have to explain a thing just look at my various 42 telegrams at over 500 phone calls grateful parents expressing undying gratitude to Macy's department store but you don't say it now are not only will our Santa Clause continue in this manner but every sales person in the entire stock you mean if we haven't got what the customer asks for we're going to send him where he can get it no higher pressuring no foster customer to take something he doesn't really want I think that's wonderful Mr will be known as the helpful stop all the friendly still the store the place is public service ahead of profits and. Consequently we would make more profits than ever. As for humans is welcoming us to shell Have you invited them all practical expression of my gratitude and your Christmas at thank you I tell you that wonderful Santa Claus I won't forget him either matter of fact I'm telling myself in the morning to me good night good night good night and thank you again said. Bolaris. Well what's the matter with you Mr Shell hammer. I just fired him. Santa Claus Oh no no you couldn't have but I did he's crazy Mr Shand how many really thinks he is Santa Claus I don't care if he thinks he's these dead body if I do oh no no. Thank you. Thank you the moment will continue with a Miracle on 34th Street. They will be I understand you were at that wonderful party r.k. Or gave last month for the company of Tycoon after they finished the picture yes indeed and I met so many interesting people remained a introduced me to John Wayne who costarred with you in the picture he was telling me what marvelous Technicolor shots they got on location in the Sierras anybody else I know their own Rosalind Russell made quite a stir when she dropped in with r.k. Rose to British stars Michael Redgrave and Leo Guinn Rosalind looking as usual like one of the 10 best dressed women in America like the best dressed belle of 865 this time because the 3 of them came right from the set of morning becomes a lecture Roslyn was still wearing her hoop skirts and cock bonnet she has a very exacting role in that picture in more ways than one her stockings did more punishment than any other part of her costume because the sound stage for the mansion set has real sod on it that was wanted several times a day Rosin changed her shoes and stockings constantly because of the dampness so her maid had 5 or 6 pairs deluxe every night. Luxe Well naturally stars as well as the Hollywood studios know how important Lux flakes are in making stockings last longer we do know that's true for most famous train tests made by an impartial laboratory when they were stockings with a strong soap or rubbed them with cakes or Pop went runs in a surprisingly short time but the very same kinds of stockings washed with lox flakes lasted twice as long that was true of nylon silk really on and cotton alike that's a good tip for girls who get some of the new smoky tone no lines for Christmas they can make them last much longer keep the colors lovely longer if they like them regularly lugs help stockings last twice as long so with gentle locks care you can get the wear of an extra pair from every pair of stockings. We continue with Act 2 of Miracle on 34th Street starring Maureen O'Hara. John painters Fred Gailey. Kris Kringle and Natalie Wood. It was a frantic few hours the daughter spent last night rushing out to the brooks memorial home in Long Island and assuring Kris Kringle that Macy is one of them back in Santa Claus So Chris is again presiding over the crowded toy department while in her office Doris and Mr Show hammer Don't you understand Mr Shell hammer that old man with the nice white whiskers insists that he is sad applause he's out of his mind what if he should have a field or something oh no I've got to tell Mr Macy but maybe he's only a little crazy anyway you can't be sure that he's examined we'll send him to Mr Sawyer in person oh he's paid to examine employees and now by the way what do you think of this what is it for Macy's is running in tomorrow's newspapers Macy's is running it but it's all about the other stores. And no no Mr Macy's idea to help our customers find what they want revolting isn't it. That Santa Claus certainly has started something oh well I'll get hold of him and his lunch and I'll send him up to Mr Sawyer. Changed my clothes and came right up oh yes then there Joan be it oh yes interesting complex in back of that why do you carry a cane always carry a cane Mr Sawyer Well that is when I wear street I carve the skin out of a runner from one of my old sleaze. Watch it with a fine solid silver top for the 1st president of the United States give me a difficult one like. Who was vice president under John Quincy Adams I am conducting this examination the answer is don't you. You're a rather nervous man I. You get enough sleep my personal habits are no concern of yours now what am I holding up right hand I mean you think as you sit 30. And you bite your nails. Stand up now feet together arms extended muscular coordination I think dozens of these just Mr Sawyer Are you happy at home dad will be all Mr Kringle examinations over think you'll And it may interest you to know that I've been happily married very happily for 22 years very happily married I didn't hear. Oh yes you get Mrs Walker on the phone yes but your wife Mr Ray She's called 4 times already telling my big fat wife the sound of my room business here's Mrs Walker. Oh I was just going to call you Mr Sawyer Dr Pierce stopping by this afternoon to. Dr Pierce. I thought we might discuss. Hardly any point in discussing it Mrs Walker obviously the old man should be discharged. So Dr Pierce Kringle should be dismissed immediately and sent to a mental institution for not just a moment he's deluded saying that. Well it's a delusion for good from the only want to be friendly and help is all manner suggests aggressiveness one of the way he carries that came but Mrs Walker actually I can't discharge that loony So when he exhibited maniacal tendencies Please realize the responsibility is completely off. Well I'm right back where I started this is Walker I assure you Kris Kringle as Norm and I go down as that but if there's the slightest possibility of us causing any trouble what trouble need happen is that a policeman asking his name Kris Kringle clang clang and may see Santa Claus lands up in the psychopathic ward Well you can prevent the average member there must be someone here at the store good random a room and they could both come to work together I just as soon avoid that long train ride to Long Island anyway you mean sort of take custody of him do you think Mr Kringle would agree to that while I'm sure he'll agree well in that case let's see how do I know. That you're going to have done your best Thank you Susan and also very glad you're going to maybe next year you can still get why because you're nice to talk to.
