Some things I listened to last night:

Bing Crosby

Also A Christmas Carol is a holiday tradition. During the golden age of radio, having Lionell Barrymore perform as Scrooge was just as much a tradition as reading the book itself. Many of these versions of A Christmas Carol star Mr. Barrymore. Others are take-offs of A Christmas Carol, fitting the origional play into various times, and settings. However, each of these plays is based on A Christmas Carol, and the spirit in which it was written. Enjoy these old time radio Christmas presentations of Charles Dickens immortal classic, A Christmas Carol.

This audio is part of the collection: Old Time Radio
Author: Charles Dickens
Date: 1940-01-01
Keywords: Old Time Radio ; A Christmas Carol ; Lionell Barrymore ; Charles Dickens
Also watched a 1940's Superman Cartoon, just like at the Movies before the Featured Film they showed cartoons and Super hero's. very fun to see.
