When we first heard that Santa
Claus' visit to a nearby town was com-
plicated by the presence of Mra. Santa
Claus, a person whose existence we
never eyen suspected, We were assail-
ed by grave doubts, In the last few
yearn our belief in Santa Qlaus him-
self him been' faltering a bit, and to
find _out at this late date that the old
boy has a hitherto unsuspected epouse,
is quite a strain on our credulity., We
felt that if such were the case, Holly-
wood, Tin Pan .Alley and the people
who are busy commercializing Christ.
rims would have found out long since,
and Use. Claps would be known far
and wide as another member of the
growing and highly-touted family at
the North Pole. \ • Thinking it over in the cold light
of reason, however, we have come to
the sober conclusion that, myth or
reality, Mrs, Claus could very well be
a woman with a future, In fact we
can see the local businessmen malting
a mint of money out of Mrs, Claus,
if the whole thing is handled properly.
Back in the dear old, days beyond
recall, before radio, movies and, tele-
vision appeared upon the scene,
Christmas was a simple affair. The
main characters in the piece were
Santa Claus, his-reindeer and a bag
of toys. The only complication in the
whole business was whether or not
you. believed that a fat old bey like
Santa could possibly get down some
of the smaller chimneys. It was as
simple as that an the days before
forests of TV antennae made roof top
delivery by reindeer impractical on
Christmas • Eve,
Nowadays, Christmas is about as
simple as a three-ring circus. ' Santa
Claus, who used to play a lone hand
on ,,Christmas Eve, now has a right
hand reindeer in the person of Ru-
dolph the Red-nosed, who bids fair
to rival Santa himself in popularity.
Go through the stores these days and
you'll find Rudolph toys, Rudolph
clothes, Rudolph watches and clocks,
stuffed figures of Rudolph and pictures
of him on anything that could con-
ceivably carry a picture of a red-nosed
reindeer and some things that couldn't
If Rudolph's meteoric rise continues
at its present acceleration, he'll soon
be replacing old Santa himself in ,the
affections of the children of the nation
-and the manufacturers of articles
with pictures of Rudolph on them.
The personnel of the North Pole is
increasing by leaps and bounds. There
is Punkinhead, the little hear, Pokey,
the Christmas Elf and Frosty the
Coming hack to Mrs. Claus and the
businessmen of ,the nearby town, we
feel that they "definitely have some-
thing there, Of course Mrs. Claus, be-
ing human rather than animal, might
not go as well with the kiddies as a
bear or a reindeer, especially red-
nosed, But on the other hand, per-
haps there's too many aninials on the
scene right now, and a human might
be just the change of pace that is
needed.
We can't quite picture Mrs. Claus
not having gotten used to the idea
yet. Should she be genial, stout, and
laugh "Ho, ho, ho!", or should she he
young and beautiful? A, certain
amount of the backgralind details
would have to be figured out for her.
There would be a bit of a story to
work out there, but we can see that
here are distinct possibilities in the
scheme. As we said before we can
see the businessmen making a mint
of money out of the thing, if it's pro-
perly handled.
But first we need a song. Something
like "I Saw Santa Kissing Mrs, Claus"
or "Mrs. Claus Is Coming to Town".
Or you might be able to work it from
the love-interest angle. That should
put some pep into old Santa Claus.
Does anyone know a songwriter?
