Santa Claus of the Film Kitty, December 5, 2019August 16, 2022 0 0 Read Time:1 Minute, 2 Second Here is a cute little poem from the January 1912 edition of Motion Picture Story Magazine. Santa Claus of the FilmBy Minna Irving When I was just a little chap,(I’m eight years old today),I used to watch for Santa ClausAnd listen for his sleigh;But brother Ed, who goes to Yale,He said ’twas make-believe,And it was only daddy broughtThe toys on Christmas Eve. No more, when all the house was still,I lay awake to seeOld Santa down the chimney come,To trim the Christmas tree.And after that the games and things,They were not half so niceAs when I fancied I could hearHis runners on the ice. Then mother took me to a placeWhere it was dark as night,Except a stage, where on a screenAppeared a dazzling light.And there, behold! to my surprise,Was Santa Claus, his packAll full of trumpets, drums and dolls,And candy, on his back. His beard was white and very long,His face was round and red,He wore a funny pointed capOf fur upon his head.And so there is a Santa Claus,With reindeers, too, I know,Because I saw him, big as life,Right in the Picture-show.
