"Holiday Films At Library" from the December 16, 1956 Door County Advocate
Holiday Films At Library
The Door County Library has just purchased two Christmas films of interest to those needing such material for Christmas parties and programs.
Christmas Customs Near and Far is a rich and colorful pageant of Christmas observances in our own and other countries of the world. As children depict traditional customs of other countries, we see the origin of some of our most familiar customs.
Silent Night: Story of the Christmas Carol recreates the writing of the carol in its original setting: how it was first sung in small village churches in Austria, then in massive cathedrals of Europe and finally in cities and towns of the United States. The recording of "Silent Night" heard in the film was made in Oberndorf. It is the original German version of the carol and is sung by the well known Dome Choir of the Dome Church of Salzburg.
Both films are in color and would be of interest to adults and children.
For reservations, call 525-R.
