Stamped on back, "PLEASE CREDIT COSMO-SILEO ASSOCIATES, 75 W. 45TH ST., N.Y. LU 2-0912." Typewritten note attached to back, ""THE NATIVITY", Radio City Music Hall's far-famed Christmas pageant which is being given for the twenty-first consecutive year as a highlight of the theatre's great Christmas holiday show on stage and screen. The pageant, produced on the world's largest stage by Leonidoff and already seen by millions of persons, reverently tells the story of the first Christmas with inspiring music by the Music Hall Choral Ensemble, Grand Organ and Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Raymond Paige. Florence Wyman, soprano, will be soloist, and Norman Wyatt, narrator. Accompanying the pageant this year will be "Christmas U.S.A.," a lavish new holiday spectacle by Leonidoff on the great stage, and on the screen and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Technicolor romance, "Easy to Love, " starring Esther Williams, Van Johnson, and Tony Martin. --ceOoo--."
