Tales of the Texas Rangers starring Joel McCrae as Ranger Jace Pearson.

Another authentic reenactment of a case transcribed from the files of the Texas Rangers. Music Names, dates and places in the following story

are fictitious for obvious reasons.

The events themselves are a matter of record. Music means all things to all people.

Music is relaxation, adventure,

elysian fields of dreams come true.

And at this joyous holiday time, music is Christmas.

We of NBC feel proud of our Monday evening lineup of truly fine music programs.

Tomorrow means more fine music on NBC with the railroad hour featuring Gordon MacRae and Lucille Norman in The Happy Prince, a special Christmas Eve production to add to your listening pleasure.

Also tomorrow there's the Voice of Firestone with guest Eleanor Steber.

Later there's the telephone hour with guest soloist Blanche Theebaum.

And tomorrow enjoy the Christmas program of the Mario Lanza show with Mario Lanzer,

lovely Giselle McKenzie and Ray Sinatra's Orchestra.

Yes, Monday is your invitation to music over most NBC stations. Make a

program note to hear the railroad hour, the voice of Firestone, the telephone hour, and the

Mario Lanzas show tomorrow. Monday means music on NBC. Hear it on this station.

And now from the files of the Texas Rangers, the case called Christmas payoff.

It is 4 p.m. on the afternoon of December 25th, 1940, in the small West Texas town of Rockfield.

In his office, Dr. Edward Hartley and his nurse are just clearing up after treating an emergency case,

which has taken the doctor away from his family on this Christmas day.

Doctor, before I leave, would you like me to stay?

Alice, I would just like you to scoot on home where you should have been hours ago.
