12 Days of Christmas Radio Shows, Part 7: "The Desert Shall Rejoice"

Today's program is about a cynical hotel owner. On Christmas Eve, his inn is visited by a number of unusual characters, such as husband and wife who are expecting a child and three men bringing gifts. While his wife keeps insisting these parallels to the Nativity mean something, the innkeeper resists her line of thinking.

"The Desert Shall Rejoice" originally aired December 16, 1948. It was adapted from a Warner Bros. short film titled Star in the Night, written by Robert Finch and directed by Don Siegel; it won the 1945 Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film!

Tomorrow: Matinee Theater!
