...Liebman brings back a new version of Babes in Toyland. Perry Como, Dinah Shore, Tony Martin, Frank Sinatra, Eleanor Steber, together with unnumbered choirs, glee clubs and choruses, will work their way through a long list of popular and pious tunes, ranging from I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus to Adeste Fidelis. CBS radio is not content with bombarding listeners with music. For a full hour on Christmas Eve, Bing Crosby will urge travelers in railroad stations across the U.S.-from Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal to Los Angeles' Union Station-to raise their voices with...
