Fun is Planned at Susanville
December 21, 1948
There will be more fun for the kids at the Sierra Theater December 17, when Santa Claus comes to town for the grammar school children and pre-school children.
Santa has secured a wonderful program for youngsters, according to Lee Zwiebel, theater manager. He will lead them in singing “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” and “Jingle Bells”; next is a schedule of cartoons: Bugs Bunny in “Acrobatty Bunny,” a technicolor musical fantasy, “Cinderella’s Feller,” animated color cartoon, “Robin Hood Makes Good.” Animated color cartoon, “Wacky Warm.” And featurette, “A Boy and His Dog,” an animated color cartoon, “Daffy Duck and Egghead,” Rhapsody Rabbit,” another Bugs Bunny animated color cartoon, “Keystone Hotel,” an old fashioned slapstick comedy and sound.
Santa Claus has the cooperation in the program by the Sierra Theater, Sacramento Bee, radio station KFBK, Susanville Volunteer Fire Department, and Rotary Lios, 20-30, BPW and Monticola Clubs.
At 10 a.m., all valley children, those who attend school in the mornings, and all preschool children will attend, and at 1 p.m. kindergarten through the eighth grade, those who attend school in the afternoons or attend classes all day.
At 3:20, all others, high school and JC students will attend the theater.
The Susanville Volunteer Fire Department and service clubs will furnish candy, popcorn and oranges for the grammar and preschool children.
A decorated Christmas three 50 feet high has been installed in the center of Main Street, and after each show on December 17 the children will be taken to the tree and treated to candy, oranges and nuts by the fire department and other organizations.
