The Ethel Barrymore show does feature on the release I have I was just recording it onto my computer, although it does seem slightly edited. Although I was asking about the second show as it seems mashed up between shows, with the December 6th 1950 broadcast seems to be possibly mixed with the December 20th 1950 broadcast, but I’m not so sure.

You just mentioned one of my 2 favorite Bing Crosby Christmas radio shows.   One of them is where he tells the story of The Small One and the other favorite I save for listening to on Christmas Eve itself is the Ethel Barrymoore guesting show, she and Bing were great together as witness in their color movie "Just For You".   He also did a very good earlier broadcast, an hour long Christmas show with Orson Welles where he and Orson tell of The Happy Prince.  Now that might have been a Kraft Music Hall, without looking it up, that would be my guess.   I do remember it was a very good show with such a great version of the Happy Prince, might have been even better than the Decca record Orson & Bing did of it. 

Now in just 2 weeks I'll be enjoying my annual Halloween Bing viewing of Legend of Sleepy Hollow.  I just now completed recording a special Halloween edition of my Sounds Like Radio podcast where I featured Bing's songs from that Disney toon along with some great short scary tales from Boris Karloff and others.   I'll be posting it soon.  Last week posted a new show and have decided to post one different new show every week from now on, instead of 4 all at once for the month.   I think this will give people a chance to hear each show without being overwhelmed.   Hope you'll enjoy, here's where to go and it is, as always Free!

OK, I looked it up, the show with Bing & Orson Welles and Happy Prince was called Radio Hall of Fame aka Philco Radio Hall of Fame.   It was broadcast 12/24/44 and was an hour long show as I remembered.
