"Silver Bells" is a #ChristmasSong composed by #JayLivingston and #RayEvans. It debuted in the motion picture #TheLemonDropKid (1951), where it was started by #WilliamFrawley, then sung in the generally known version immediately thereafter by #BobHope and #MarilynMaxwell. The first recorded version was by #BingCrosby and #CarolRichards on September 8, 1950, with #JohnScottTrotter and His Orchestra and the Lee Gordon Singers.

71 years ago today, I Love Lucy aired an instant classic episode, "Lucy Does A TV Commercial."

Lucy Does A TV Commercial

Lucy gets a job in a TV commercial by telling the chosen actress that another girl's been hired; at the studio, Lucy rehearses tasting spoonfuls of the product, "Vitameatavegamin," but the contents of the product contain far too much alcohol.

#AmWatching THE PRINCESS COMES ACROSS (1936) . First time viewing of this short #screwballcomedy #mystery.
While I'm lukewarm about #CaroleLombard, I do enjoy #FredMacMurray #SigRuman #WilliamFrawley.

Earlier today, I watched THE HALF NAKED TRUTH (1932) w/ #LupeVelez #LeeTracy #FrankMorgan #EugenePallette. Not bad. Although, I enjoyed Lupe more in STRICTLY DYNAMITE w/ #JimmyDurante.
