making me deal completely hearty. Sorry, don't you see? I tell Susan

(08:58):
Santa I was as a table andnew show, a very convincing old man
with real Swiss. Who is sheto believe that confusing was a baby?
Her father and I were divorced.Ever since then, I've protected my child
by teaching her reality. If youdon't believe me terry tales and fantasy,
you can never be cursed. Adissolution. We were talking about missus Walker,

me, you don't have to explainthat things look Look at my desk.
Forty two telegrams and over five hundredbone calls faithful parents expressing undying gratitude to

(12:03):
Macy's Department store. Will you dosay yes? And from now on,
not only will our Santa Claus continuein this manner, but every salesperson in
the entire store. You mean,if we haven't got what the customer asks
for, we're descending where he canget it. No more high pressuring and
forcing a customer to take something hedoesn't really want. Hi, I think

(12:24):
that's wonderful. Will be all asa as the helpful store, the friendly
store, the store that places publicservice ahead of profits, and consequently we'll
make more profits than ever. Now, as for you, missus Walker,
mister Shehelle Emmery, you'll find amore practical expression of my gratitude in your

(12:45):
Christmas I'm going, oh and tellthat wonderful Santa Claus. I will forget
him eat it. As a matterof fact, I'll tell him myself in
the morning. Good night. You'reagainst her. Oh, imagine a bonus.
Yes, won't smell you, mistershell Hammer. I just fired him,

(13:13):
which is a Santa Clau No orno curtain't he I did? He's
crazy, mister shell Hammer. Hereally thinks he is Santa Claus. I
don't care if he thinks he's theEaster Bubby find him. It was a
past few hours that Doris spent lastnight rushing out to the Brooks Memorial Home

(13:37):
in Long Island and assuring the Scringlethat Macy's wanted him back. A Sata
Clau. So Chris is again presidingover the colored toy department. While in
her office, Doris and mister shellHammer, don't you understand, mister shell
Hammer, that old man with thenice white Christs insists that he is Sata
claud He's out of his mind.He might even be dangerous. I got
to tell mister macy maybe he's onlya too bomb me. And when you

(14:01):
can't be sure that he's examined,we will send him to mister Sawyer Sawyer
and Personnel's page to examine employees.Isn't he? And now, father,
what do you think of this?But is it a full page as Macy's
is running tomorrow's newspapers. Macy's isrunning, but it's all about the other
door jeels and crying a line.Mister Macy's idea to help our customers find

(14:26):
what they want? Revolting, isn'tit that Santa claud Statainly has started something.
Well, I'll get hold of himand he's lunch hour and send him
up to mister Sawyer. So Ichanged my clothes, mister Sawyer, and

(14:48):
came right out. Oh, thenthat's your own beaty. Who is m
interesting complex in back of this?Why do you carry a king, oh
carrier king with the sawyer? Orthat is when I wear street clothes.
I can't discain out of a runnerfrom one of my old slaves that what
would a Sondid silver top? Whowas the first president of the United States?

(15:13):
Or give me a difficult one likewho is vice president under James Monroe?
I am conducting this examination of theanswer is Daniel D. Tomkins.
You're a rather a nervous man.You you give enough sleep my personal habit

(15:33):
and no concern of yours. Whathand by holding up right hand, how
many fingers do you see three?Oh? Darn, you bite your nails
to stand up pat together arms,extended muscular coordination test or dozens of those
tests, Missus Sawyer, are youhappy at home? That will be all

(15:56):
that, Shingle. The examination isover hand, and it may interest you
to know that I have been happilymarried for twenty two years, very happily
married. It is nice to hearit. Goodbye, mister Sawyer. Miss
Yes, sir, get Missus Walkeron the phone. Yes, but your
wife, Missus Sawyer, she's calledboth times already. Bill up in my

(16:18):
own, Missus Walker, Sir,I was just going to call you,
Missatoya, because the doctor Piers stoppingby the stapping the tree. Who is
doctor Pierce. He's a physician atthe brook Calm. I thought we might
estess mister Kringle's case with him.There's hardly any point in discussing it,
Missus Walker. Obviously the old manshould be discharged, and so doctor Pears

(16:45):
Kringle should be dismissed immediately and sentto a mental institution. Honor, just
alone, Missus Sawyer. But he'sdeluded saying that he sent a clause.
That's a solution for good. I'vefound he only wants to be friendly and
helpful. His own man suggested greciousness. Look at the way he carries that
can, missus Walker. Naturally,I can't discharge that looney, So when

(17:07):
he exhibits maniacal tendencies, please realizethe responsibility is completely yours. Well right
back where I started, Oh,missus Walker, I assure you Chris Kringle
has no maniacal tendency. But ifthere's the slightest possibility it's causing any trouble,
I caught trouble. All we needis for a policeman to ask his
name. He says, Chris Kringle, and clang, clang, Macy's Santa

(17:33):
part ends up in a psychopathic ward. Well, you can prevent that break
simply. There must be someone hereat the store who could rent him a
room. Then they could both cometo work together. And I just assume
he avoided that long train ride tothe Long Island anyway, you mean sort
of take cuts to the other.Do you think mister Crimble would agree to
that? Surely agree? Well thatcase, well, let's see, do

(17:56):
I know who could rent him aroom. I'm glad you're going to have
dinner with mister King. I'm alsovery glad you're going to live next door
with mister Gay because you're nice totalk to. Mm hmm. What a

(18:17):
fine young man that mister Gay is. I just think allowing me to share
his apartment knee a mere stranger.You did it because not a minute to
him. Well, anyway, I'mvery great. Shall I tell you what
I did in school today? Oh? By oh, I means any games?
Yes, and a very silly gametoo. They played zoo and each
child was thought to be an animal. But surely they were just pretending.

(18:41):
That's what makes the game so silly. In order to play games, you
need the imagination. Oh that's whenyou see things but they're not really there.
Wow yeh yes, But to me, you know, imagination is a
place all by itself. Now you'veheard of the French nations of the British
nation, Well this is the imagination. Very interesting place too. Yeah.

(19:04):
How would you like to be ableto make snowballs in the summertime? Eh?
Ought to be the statue of Libertyin the morning and in the afternoon
fly south to the block of geeseand why like it? Oh it's very
simple. Anyway, the next timethey play zoo, you can be a
monkey. I know how to bea monkey. Yeah, I'll show you.

out, mister Kringle? Oh?Fine, outfit? Fine? How about
getting checkers during the job? Wellnot today, Chris, I don't feel
so good. Huh what's the matter, ol friend? Oh? Nothing much.
You remember I was telling you howI like to play Santa Claus over
at the y and give our packagesto the kids. Yes, well,

(25:02):
I was telling mister Sorrier about it, and he says that's very bad,
that psychologically it's all wrong, wrongto be nice to children. Well,
he says, guys who play SantaClaus do it because when they was young
they must have done something bad.Oh, and now they do something they
think it is good to make upfor it. It's one cause as still
comple Alfred. What is he foundwrong with you? Oh? Nothing much,

(25:29):
just that I hate my father.Oh I didn't know it, but
he says, I do. Excuseme. Well, hey, age,
I have lunch later. Right now, I have an appointment with mister.
What are you breaking into my officelike this? Are you a licensed psychiatrist?

(25:52):
What business is it of yours?I have a great respect for psychiatry
and great contempt for midening amateurs whogo around practicing. If you shut up,
you want to be bullspit, takinga boy like Alfred and filling him
up with complexes and phobias. AndI think I am better encrypted judge that
than you. Just because Alfred wantsthree kinds of children, you're telling me
has a guilt conflict, having thesame delusion you couldn't fussly understand. And

(26:14):
don't you wave that aim at meeither. You stop analyzing Alfred and I'll
go straight to Mistilation and tell himwhat the contemptible ford you are. You
get out of here, Get outbefore I have you throw out. It's
only one way to handle a manlike you. Well, maybe this willknock
some sense into you. My head, my hands, I'm so miss Tom,

(26:37):
Miss Bron, Get me the grease, give me miss his water,
Give me the phatapatic water well ofyour hospital. Hell, Chris, Hello,
friend Chris. I've been speaking tothe doctors here in the hospital.

(26:57):
They said they've given you. Oh, yes, the same old except this
time you failed a pass. AndChris, you failed deliberately? Why because
I had great hopes for it.I had a feelings too. Missus Walker
was beginning to believe in me,and now now I discovered she was only

(27:21):
humoring me all the time. Butthis wasn't Dora's idea at all. Mister
Sawyer had you sent here before sheeven knew about it. When did she
come to me explain things? Well, because she didn't want to hurt you.
No, But it's not just missusWalker. Take mister Sawyer, contemptible,
dishonest, deceitful. It's normal.I don't want to hurt you,

(27:45):
just can't think of yourself. Whathappened to you matters to a lot of
other people, people like me whobelieve in what you stand for and people
like well, like miss Studies werejust beginning. Chris, you're letting not
down. Uh well maybe right,of course, You're right. There will

(28:07):
be a shingle mission. Let's getdown of here and now wait a minute.
You fund your mental examination. Butgood, two years go and do
well. You're and lawyer. Youfix it. Hey, hey, now
look, I'm gonna let you downand you won't let me down. Now,
Chris, take it easy. Look, there'll have to be a hearing
if you're going to be committed.It's got to be before a judge.

(28:30):
Well, well, I can doanything at all, it'll have to be
in that courtroom. Sit tight,Chris, I'll get an idea. I'll
have to me mismaking. I certainlydid, mister Sawyer. I brought my

(28:52):
family to the poor Department to seeour fata claus and our faber clause at
repair. He's in Bellevue, Yes, yes he is, because he's a
lunatic. Yes, sir, lunaticmy foot. Are you listening to me?
So you get that chafe dropped rightaway? Or you will have another
lump to match the one he gaveyou. House is my hand, mister

(29:12):
Kringle goes to court in the mallinall right, just see that he's back
in the party department by afternoon.I get out of here. Oh,
miss Gailey, Miss Gaily, Yes, I've been looking all over for you.
I'm mister Sawyer. Oh so you'rea sawyer. Yes. I was

(29:34):
just speaking to the court clerk andhe said, you represent mister Kringle.
Well, I represent mister Macy.Then I'll see you in courty. Yes,
well that's what I wanted to speakto you about. Mister Macy would
like to drop the whole case rightnow. You see, we are most
anxious to avoid any publicity. Nopublicity. That's very interesting, and you

(29:57):
will cooperate you And I was havingmister sorry, you have just given me
the idea that I've been searching.I'm going to win this case. I'm
going to have to have public opinionand plenty of it, and publicity is
just a way to do it all. But miss Gaily, But mister Gaily,

(30:18):

(31:03):
Sataclaus. But now his charity hasbeen seriously questioned, and in a crowded
court room, Judge Harper listened patientlyas the Assistant District Attory summons Christ to
the witness stands. Now, thisis not a trial. Mister Kringle is
tough thearing, so you don't haveto answer any questions. Now that's a
where do you live? Please?World, It seems to me that's what

he's hearing. Will decide. UhNow, mister Kringle, do you believe
that you are Santa Claus? Ofcourse I that's why you're on other state
rested's case. Well you are Americantens. My client is not sane because

(31:47):
is crazy. You're honor. Youbelieve yourself to be Judge Harper. Yet
no one questions your sanity because youare Judge Harper? Do they? Mister
Kringle is the subject of this sanityhere? Why? Well you eye intend

that I agree with him. MisterKringle looks like a very nice old man
and I are persecuted. I amnot persecuting him. I'm prosecuting him.
I like couper, does nothing Ican do with us? You know something
common Sometimes I wish i'd married up. If I lose this carry push all
rhy. Wonder what he's called apu Tomorrow we see to do its mister,

(33:35):
if you defendant, please tell uswho he is? Chris Krinkle,
of course, do you believe himto be of sound? Mine found mine?
I wish I ever doesn't like him. Some may say you are on
the road. Do you believe that, mad sata Claus? That's rather a
delict lunch? Do you think thoseheadlines on you keep out of this gimble?

(33:57):
I thank your pardon? What didyou say? I have all nothing?
Something? I wish you would Otacau? Yes, in my opinion,
he most certainly is you run up. You're running up with no Dutch person
than everybody, and you prove thereisn't time you're running a prosecution request an
immediate ruling from this court? Isthere or is there not? A Pantaclaus

(34:20):
not for the course, will takea hello, and I w Charlie,
who're doing here? And an oldbis and the US Vanda is like you
do now this kringled case. Well, I certainly don't see what they're making
such a fuss about. Henry.That's Santa Clause. You go on for
the dynamite and you're coming up are election zone. Charlie, do you

(34:45):
know what happened last night? Marthabrought the grain Silday. I wouldn't kiss
Grandpa. They wouldn't even talk tome. See what I mean? If
you U there is no Santa Claus, you better start looking for that chicken
bomb right now. I'm a responsiblejudge. How can I seriously rule that

(35:07):
there is a Santa Claus because ofthe thread of it, and they don't
hang up. This toy is aboutto be in most docking. The toy
manufacturers have to lay off them.By now you've got the AFL and the
sea again, and they're gonna sayit with votes. See all in the
department stores are going to love youtoo, yes, sir, Henry.

(35:30):
And what about the Salvation Army?They got a Santa Claus on every street
corner and they've taken a bottom moneyto help the poor. But you go
ahead, Henry, you go inthere and rule that there isn't many Santa
Claus. But if you do,you can count on getting just two votes
your own and that discot Journey's outthere one vote tally. He's a Republican.

(36:00):
The question of sane Claus seems tobe largely a matter of opinion.
The tradition of the American justice demandsabroad and unpleased this view of such a
controversial method is, therefore intends tokeep his mind open. We shall ask
for evidence on either thought, buttoronto the burton of poof CREDI rats with

(36:20):
my opponent here can he produce anyevidence that upon his view? If you're
are please, I can Will ThomasMarra please take the sense oo me.
No, Thomas Arratt Junior, Ibelieve he and his mother are vote in
court day. Hi, Tommy,do you believe in Santa Claus? I

(36:42):
sure do. Gosh, he gaveme a brand new slave last year.
Now tell me what does Santa Clauslook like? Who? There? He
is? Seem right over there?You're her role? Tell me, Tommy,
why are you so sure? This? Because my papa told me so?

(37:08):
Thank you, Tommy, Yes,you certainly will your tell me you'll
give me mister Kringle. If youdon't mind, I'm sorry. You're all
of the state of New York couldn'tsite the existence of a Santa Clause.

(37:29):
But in so conceding, we demandthat mister Gaily stopped presenting personal opinion of
evidence. I insist he submit authorityim proof that mister Kringle here is the
one and all Asta claud Now,mister Gaily, are you prepared to show
that mister Kringle is tendaclause on thebasis of on prejudice authority? Well?
No not now I need little time. Oh why not? Now tomorrow you're

(37:52):
very well ought to join. Sotomorrow morning, Oh brother, Now come
on, Susan, dear, finishedthis supper, but I can't. Mother.
All these things are saying in thenewspapers about mister Kringle and mister Gaily.

(38:13):
They're having this trial because he sayshe's Santa Claus. He's so kind
and nice and jolly. He's notlike anyone else. I know he must
be Sata. You know something Ithink, perhaps you're right, is mister
Kringle sad? Now, Mother,I'm afraid he must be you. I'll
write him a letter. Maybe that'llmake him feel better. Maybe that'll your

(38:43):
Oh Boseman Bothman, would you mindtaking this letter? I was going straight
down a post office. Now,okay, Loly say it away. Huh
hey, why do you know?Lowly? And I'll have HESA No One
instead North Paul Kid's got to addressto Chris Kringle, New York. Gott

(39:06):
he caught out while it hits right. Huh oh yeah, sure, I
got one trial down there. Heclaims he's back claws and the DJA claims
he's nuts. Hey, hey,I got an idea. How many seen
he clothes letters? We got downthere with a dead letter Wolkers who knows,
maybe fifty thousand bags and bags allover the joint? You mean,

(39:30):
what's liking white? That? Wouldn'tit be nice to get rid of them?
All? Boy? Oh boy?What holy two? As we get
to the post office and go seethe supervisor, Hey, you know something
I thought we both get from allthere. That's the defense that's been unable

(39:52):
to submit one shred of proof thatChris Klingle is the one of the only
had to close. And since tonightis Christmas Eve, I asked Urana,
this is hearing be terminated without furtherdelers. I protest, I do have
evidence. Five minutes agoing regident duringthe Sumara's oration. The saylift handed my
clients the evidence. I refer towhat evidence? Oh, yes, mister

(40:15):
Kringle, It's from Susan Willett.She believes in me. This letter means
more to measing anything in the world. That letter was delivered by the United
States Post Office, an official agencyin the federal government. The Post Office
Department is one of the largest businessconcerns in the world. Last year did
a gross volume of over one billiondollars. And this uranna. I'm sure

(40:38):
we're all gratified that the Post Officeis getting along so well. The spelling
is a god or the hearty ofthat man. My point is that the
Post Office Department is a model ofefficiency. Furthermore, the laws of this
country make it a criminal offense towilfully misdirect mail or intentionally deliver it to

(40:59):
the wrong body. A New Yorkis second to none in the admiration of
the Post Office Department. We arevery happy to concede mister Gail's plain or
the record, mister Mora, orthe record, anything to get on with
us. Thanks you, you're onthat letter Justice d by mister Kringle is
positive proof that you're out. Oneletter is promly, but I have better

put them here on my desk.You're all, let's put them on
my good bye vein in. You'reyou're the what is best? He lost

of those letters and every one ofthose mail sack is addressed too Tenaclaus.
The post Office has delivered them here. Therefore, the Post Office Departments recognizes
Chris Springle to ez one and onlate Vanaco. This the United States Government

(42:07):
declares this man to be Danacort.This court will not this. Gordest says
that man, why haven't I gottheir snail all my port? I came
straight to Masons to see you,don Chris. I'm so glad you want

(42:30):
nanel will we're having a big Christmasparty in the books home tomorrow morning.
I'd like so much to see youin Susan. Now we'll be there,
Chris, couldn't you couldn't you comehome now? Have been there with us
now tonight? Me? Oh mygoodness, donis it's Christmas? Eve?

Elson said, Look, Luk whocame all the way. He's overt home
just for have Christmas body. Chris, it's mister Macy, mister Gimbo too.
Excuse me up and we said welcome. Susie has to leave. You've
got so many presents, not theone I wanted, not the one mister

(43:17):
Kringle was gonna get for me.But what was? It doesn't matter.
I knew I wouldn't get it,but I sided at least tell me why.
Jud I'm sorry, Judie, youcouldn't get it because you're not fat,
a class Susan, just a niceold man. My mother said,
But I was wrong when I toldyou that you must believe in mister Kringle

(43:38):
and keep rug on doing it.You must have faith in him. That
doesn't make sense, mother. Faithis believing in things from common sense tells
you not to. But brother,you always didn't, just because things don't
turn out the way you want themto. The first time, you still
got to believe in people. Ithought, Oh, well bad, it's

(44:00):
the game. Merry Christmas, SusieGod, you just go here. I've
been here and if you're ready toleave, I'll drive you home. So
before you go here, here's amap I made for you. You will
miss a lot of traffic afore myself. You will see Ashley Avenue.
That's the street you want, AshleyAvenue. Thanks Christ and Merry Christmas.

(44:22):
Merry Christmas to you Fred and toyou, my dear Andy. You Susie,
mister Kringle. I do believe Ido. It's hilly. I supposed
that I do. I don't understandthat said the map Christ gave it definitely

(44:46):
says Ashley Avenue, not Ashley Avenue. Now three loses. What is it
alling? What's the matter? Carry'sthe house? The house? Into that
house? Says No, went home. It's brand new for tal On Earth
that turned up to Susie. Hey, Susie, I am upstairs, will

(45:15):
come right down. You know youshouldn't run around in other people's houses.
No, No, I mean thistown. I've seen the house somewhere.
I know I have maybe in amagazine. Mother, it's a house.
It's the one I asked him for, Mister Kringle, Mister Kringle, I

(45:38):
know it is. Oh, youwere right, mommy, You were right,
Mommy. Job the things didn't turnout just the way you wanted them
at first, you still got tobelieve, and I kept believing, and
you were right, mommy. MisterKringle is Santa Claus. Now where are
you're going? Exactly? If there'sa splay? There is what? Mommy,
there is one? You told thatGod to believe me, But you

(46:01):
told me that the shigne outside justsay, well, we can't let her
down. Then I never really doubtedyou. It's a nice, really common
sense. Oh it even makes senseto believe in me. Now I must

(46:22):
be a pretty good lawyer. Itake a little man and legally prove to
the world that he's standing across.Now you know what's in the corner that
the girl? Oh no, no, it can't be. We couldn't a
