[Whistling] And did you hear that? Come on, will ya? Did I hear what? That whistle. [Whistling] That's the Rinso White Whistle. And Rinso means us. That's right, Rinso gets clothes, Rinso Heights, and Rinso presents The Amason Andy Show. With their guests for tonight, the Paul Taylor chorus. [Applause] Well, it's practically Christmas, and all through the house, the youngsters are helping with everything, even the dishes. But unfortunately for Mom, that state of affairs won't last very long. She'll soon be facing a sink filed high with Christmas dinner dishes and not a helping hand in sight. Of course, Mom knows she can depend on Rinso to make quick work of the biggest pile of dishes. By ladies, you just fill your dishpan full of those soapy rich Rinso suds and watch the heavy grease and sticky food particles scoot. In next to no time, every dish is bright and shining. And ladies, Rinso's easy on your hands too. So don't take chances, use Rinso. And now, here are Amason Andy and their guests, the Paul Taylor chorus. [Music] It's the Saturday before Christmas. The morning crowds are milling about Lennox Avenue in Harlem doing their last-minute shopping. Andy is out with Amos's little girl, Arbadella, on their annual Christmas tour of the department store, Windows. Right now, they're looking at a little doll in one of the windows. Yeah, that show is a pretty doll, Arbadella. Yeah, that's when I wrote an Anthony card to bring me. Daddy said I wrote the letter too late. You see, I only wrote it two days ago. Yeah, well, that ain't give him Santa Claus much time. You got to write him before that. Isn't he pretty so OK, Andy? Yeah. Daddy, the Santa Claus would bring it to me next Christmas. Oh, show, you see, that'll give him more time. We're having a good time today, ain't we, OK, Andy? I like being out with you. Yeah, and I like being out with you too, Arbadella. But I guess we better be getting on home now. Do you think Mommy and Daddy will bring home here? Oh, yeah, they say they'd be home at 12. OK, Andy, let me just look at the doll once more. Oh, show, honey. She's beautiful. She's a talking doll, too. Yeah, there's the best ones, all right. Here's a pretty dress you've gone on, but when Santa Claus brings it to me next year, I'm going to make a lot more pretty dresses, pink ones. I can hardly wait till next Christmas. Look, Andy, you've just got a lot of Christmas presents down. Yeah, lightning, I want to get them all wrapped up now, too. So I ain't got to do it this afternoon or the night. Well, what is that one you got there for a few? Yeah, for one of my girlfriends. You know, Sadie Blake. Oh, but-- Do you like that sweet smell and stuff, or are you doing stuff? Huh, well, she ought to. This is genuine, imported French perfume. Oh, oh, look at this. They don't look the price on there. 25 cents. OK, you got a pencil lightning. I ask her, but I ain't got no rubber on the end of it. Well, I don't care about no rubber. I just want to put two in front of that and make a two in the quarter. You see, lightning, Sadie don't like the perfume. She'll be crazy about the price. Yeah, well, how old you got in this package, yeah, Ms. Andy? Oh, them are some handchifs that I'm going to give to that other gal friend of mine, Evelyn Bennett. But we in a man, Ms. Andy, these have got a sea broadred up in the corner. Yeah, well, last year I was going to give them to that gal Carmen that I was going with. But we done busted up two days before Christmas. Well, we'll let her see on there. I don't see how you can give them to Evelyn Bennett. Yeah, well, I thought of that. So, for the last three weeks, I've been called their cookie. [LAUGHTER] Well, look here. Here come the King's Ladies and Henry Van Porter. Yeah, come in, fellas. Come in. Hello, there. I mean, hello, Andy. And very Christmas. Fellas, no well, no well, no well. That's the charm in you. [LAUGHTER] But charm in you'll tie it to you, gentlemen, the charm in you'll tie it. Yeah, charm in you'll tie it to you, too, Henry. Yeah, well, see, you're having all the Christmas presents here, Andy. Anytime that you want me to turn my back and not look, just say the word, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. [LAUGHTER] Well, listen, I ain't bought you a present, King fish. Oh, you ain't got around to that yet, huh? Well, don't worry about it, everybody, Andy. You know, my wife and me were talking about the same thing, just this morning. She said to me, she said, "George, do you think that any of your friends is going to give you that bathrobe that got in the corner wind of the globe? Deport must go?" I said, "Honey, you mean the blue one with the red sash around it, the crazy book?" She said, "Yeah, you know it's Mark 395." I said, "Yeah, 100 that's the one size for it." The funny thing, I mean, my wife talked back and forth like that. And, you know-- [LAUGHTER] Yes, well, you could use a new bathrobe, King fish. That one you had on yesterday certainly was a mess. Yeah, uh, oh, and by the way, and, uh, just thought of something, uh, how big is that door that you're boarding house? Door, why? Well, uh, coming up to see you tomorrow morning with a pretty big package for you. If I can't get it in there, then I can always take the door off the hinges, can't we? Yeah. Yeah. Say, this is kind of a embarrassing because I as broke and can't afford to buy nothing for you. Well, uh, nothing at all? That's right. Say, uh, what time is back to be up there with that big package? Well, uh, second thought of it might not be as early as I expected in the morning. [LAUGHTER] Well, uh, I'll be there all morning. Well, don't wait for me to win. You see, I've got a lot of parents that live and might not get around to you until February or March. I don't know what to do. [LAUGHTER] Yeah, well, I know that was something like that. Oh, man, I've been trying to wrap some of these packages here for you. This is a hard one, are they? Well, what in the world is that? Oh, that's a little toy automobile I done bought for Amos Jr. You wind it up and it scoots around the floor, backs up and does everything. I'll show you. Oh, let's see. Oh, man, I watch this. Mm-hmm, go ahead. Look at it go. Say, that is the cutest thing I don't ever see. Yeah, see the way that I think. Wait a minute. Look at that. Well, look at this, will you? Yes, you even got a license dump on it. Yeah, let me have it here. I won't see if I can shoot it on the floor again. But I can wind it myself. Well, let me do it. How did I ask for it? Yes, but I picked it up first. Well, now don't break it, fellas. Well, Andy, can't I be the one to work it? Can't they try to work it? Now, let's not be childish about this. All right, all right. But I'm next on the thing. Well, I'm going to put it back in the box now before it gets broke. And I've got a lot of things to do around here, too. You're chillin' better, run along home now. Hey, uh, by the way, Andy, you coming over to the gathering at large hall this afternoon, ain't you? Oh, yeah, I'll be there. Yeah, you know, all the boys are gettin' together. Christmas, spirit, refreshments, flappin' their body on the bat and all that stuff, you know? Yes, the whole gang is going to be there. I'll see you there, Andy. Okay, so long, fellas. Yeah, well, so long, great Christmas. Goodbye, boys. Goodbye. Well, I was rappin' just packin' your colored crayons that you've bought for all, but tell 'em, Miss Andy. Yeah, go ahead, wrap that. Yeah, uh, mister, rubber to 10 cents, or mister, just put a $1 in front of it. Oh, rub it out. This ain't much of a gift to give a kid, is it? And those, uh, well, it ain't bad, Miss Andy. Yeah, but she might not even like crayons. Yeah, but she might not. She might not. Oh, you don't know what Miss Andy was the daughter like. Well, this is a funny part of what it is like, and I do know what she likes. I will leave whenever you do that, don't make no difference, 'cause you was broke. You ain't got no money to buy nothing more. Yeah, that's what troubling me. I is broke. Say liken, what time is it? Uh, it's nearly one o'clock. Uh, say, I'm gon' leave. I'll see you later. ♪ Did you want to see me? Uh, yes, uh, I guess so. Uh, is you the gentleman that do the hiring here for the store? That's right. My name is Simmons. Yeah, well, I was wondering if you needed any extra sale to help for the last minute rush this afternoon. I would work hard. Well, we did need extra help up until yesterday, but I think we can get through the rest of the day with the sales people we have. Oh, well, thank you just the same as that. Oh, uh, wait, just a minute. Oh, yes, yes, sir. Maybe you can do it. Uh, what's that? Well, one of our Santa Claus' helpers was called home. See, his wife was taken ill suddenly, and we could use somebody to take his place. You think you could do it? Uh, these Santa Claus' helper? That's right. You know, well, I ain't ever done that before. Well, Joe, I can do it fine. Now, if you come down the fourth floor, I'll give you your Santa Claus suit and tell you just what you're supposed to do. Well, thank you, sir. Thank you. Well, Mr. Brown, that Santa Claus suit seems to fit you as well as the man who worked here before. Yeah, uh, help me button the thing up, will you, Mr. Simmons? A little snug right here. Yes, as I see. Eh? Got that pillar in there just right. That ain't no pillar, that's me. Well, I think you better hurry and finish putting on your costume, Mr. Brown. I want you to get out in the toy department with the children. Yeah, well, I guess the next thing you do is to get these boots on here. I'll sit down here and try to get in 'em. I'll pull 'em on here. Uh-oh. Uh, Mr. Simmons, you got any of that sliding powder by any chance. Why? What's the matter? The dog's just too big for the house. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I got one in. Now, here goes the other one. There he is. Pete, you has wrapped up plenty tight today. Well, that's fine. Now, just put on these whiskers and this hat and you're all set. Yes, okay. Now, what must I do, Mrs. Simmons, when I get out there? Well, Santa Claus' chairs right over at the party end of the toy department. Now, I want you to listen to the little children while they tell you what they would like for Christmas. And then, assure them that Santa Claus will get their message. Yeah, the... And the idea is that Santa Claus will have a pretty tough time on it handling everything else. If he didn't have you helpers, I think you understand what I mean. Oh, yes, yes, I understand all right. And if you run into any difficulties of any sort, just call the floor walker. All right, Sonny, you was next. Come right up here now and sit on Santa Claus' lap. That's the boy. Now, tell Santa Claus what you want for Christmas. I want a G-man badge and a gun. A G-man badge and a gun. Yeah, well, what's your name, son? Oliver Griffith. Oliver Griffith? Well, has you done been a good boy all year, Oliver? Yes, yes. Yeah, well, I couldn't see that without even asking. You was a nice little color. I bet you'd drink up all your milk at every meal, don't you? No, I don't. Huh? You don't? No. Well, you drink part of it, though, don't you? I don't drink none of it. None of it, huh? No. Oh, floor walker, can you come over here? Yes, that guy's being me, the G-man badge and a gun. I'll drink my milk. Oh, yeah, well, never mind, floor walker. Oh, that's a good little boy, Oliver. Now, you just hang up your stockin' and everything's going to be all right. Oh, thank you, Santa Claus. Come on, Oliver. And my neck? Yeah, you was next. My, what a nice little girl. Sit right here on my knees. Now, tell me, what is your name? Can't read it, Lewis? Hmm, that's a pretty name, too. And that's a pretty little dress you got on there. The mama made it funny. See the ribbon? Yeah, that's good, all right. Can't read it or you was one of the sweetest little girls I'd never seen. Now, tell me, what do you want for Christmas? A football. A football. Yes, and a two chance and a drunk. Two chance, huh? Well, what do a little girl like you want with them things? Oh, I don't want them for myself. Oh, oh, well, who does you want 'em for? My little brother. Your brother? Yes, you see, he's sick and bad, and he couldn't come down here, and I don't want you to forget him. Oh, well, that show is sweet of you, Henrietta. And I can tell you right now that Santa Claus is going to take care of him. Thank you, Merry Christmas, Santa Claus. Merry Christmas, I remember. Hey, quick shove, and I'm there. Yeah, no fightin' down our boys, no fightin', take it easy. I tried to pushin' ahead of me. I'm next, ain't I, Santa Claus? Yes, I mean, uh, yeah, Sonny. Uh, what's your name? Percy Carr. Percy, Percy, huh? Uh, what do you want for Christmas? Our machine gun, do I get it? Uh, well, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, I'll see what I can do about it, and all that stuff. I want a wallet, too. What a picture of Humphrey Bogart in it. Yeah, well, I'll work on that, too. Who's next? Wait a minute, Santa Claus. I ain't through yet. I want to ask you something. Yeah, well, what is it, Percy? Last year, I asked you for a pair of skates, and I didn't get 'em. What goes? Well, uh, you got a lot of other stuff, though, didn't you? Yeah, I got a necktie, so soft, and a couple of handkerchiefs. But who wants that stuff? Uh, well, better luck this year. All right, who's next? Wait a minute, I got more stuff to ask you. Oh. In that workshop up north, where Santa Claus makes all his toys. What kind of country is that? Country, well, it's just nothing but ice, and snow, and snow, and ice, all stuff like that. No trees and nothing? No, just ice and snow. In where does Santa Claus get the apples and oranges he puts in the stockings every Christmas? Uh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I had a bicycle bell, a flashlight, and a baby sister. Uh, is that all you want? That's all I can think of right now. Well, you look a little worn off, Mr. Brown. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I is a little tired. I never talk to so many kids in all my life. But you know something? They is really cute though, you know? Well, you did very well. All the children seemed very happy, and the parents were just standing there beaming. Yes, sir. Yes, I think that. Thank you. Well, we certainly appreciate it having you here this afternoon. Yes, well, study the truth. I enjoy it, too. And, of course, you know, I've done it for a special reason. Yes, and here it is, Mr. Brown. I had the stock boy take it out of the window. The talking doll. Well, Andy has been well rewarded in his effort to get a Christmas present for Amos' little girl. We'll hear more about it in just a moment. You know Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without holly wreaths and Christmas trees and little dinner table scenes like this one. Oh, boy. Church, why don't you go upstairs? Oh, Tommy. You're going to set the gravy boat. Oh, Tommy. You've got gravy all over your shirt. Well, Tommy's shirt will be a real contribution to the family wars this time to say nothing to the table for. But does that bother his mother? Well, Tommy's shirt is certainly not very pretty. But with the Vinzo in the wash tub, it will come out like magic. Yes, you see, ladies, Rinso soaks clothes clean in as little as ten minutes. Just a few quick finger rubs wherever the dirt's a little stubborn and rinse. All your washable colors come spotlessly, rinse so bright, safely, even after dozens of washings. And, of course, Rinso gets your whitewash. Rinso white. Because those petty rich suds get out more dirt. So make every wash day a Rinso wash day, and you'll whistle while you work. And now back to the Amos and Andy show and their guests, the Paul Taylor chorus. Well, it's Christmas Eve. Andy has just arrived at Amos's with an arm full of packages. Well, come in, son, come in. You look like Santa Claus with all that stuff. How is your boy? How is it? Say, that tree looks good. Yeah, pretty in it, Anna. Show is. Wait a minute. Let me lay these packages down here on the sofa. Yeah, tell me this. You making the rounds now, huh? Oh, yeah, making the rounds, spreading good cheer and all that stuff. Boy, that is a pretty tree. You've got a lot of lights on there, too. Yeah, we've been saving them for two, three years in order to put it hard to get them out. Oh, sure. We just decorated that tonight. Ruben and Mama are going out to take a few things with some poor people to hear about here in town. They'll be gone for about an hour. Oh, yeah, at least. At the end, they... Why wasn't you over with all the fellas at the large hall yesterday? Oh, for whom? Me? I... Well, uh... I must have cleaned and forgot about that. Yeah. Well, Amos, I'll leave these packages right here. All of them? Oh, sure. Here's one for Ruby. Here's one for Mama. Here's one for you. And there's a little toy on the mobile for your baby. Oh, Gee, and... And here's a package for our bedella. And listen, Amos. Oh, what's that? Be sure and tell her that this one is from Santa Claus. Oh, Gee, that's a nice-looking package there for her, all right. Oh, just a little something I picked up. Nothing. Oh, Gee, you're the Santa Claus this year, and I never see the Santa Claus like this. Yeah, well, don't forget. I see a lot of stuff over at my place from your house. Yeah, well, like I told you, and it ain't much, but we wanted you to know that we love you and we're thinking about you. Oh, well, Amos, I feel better this year than I ever will. Now, by the way, uh, when you're gonna open up your packages. All day, kids get up early, and we all get up and start early Christmas morning. And now, don't forget to, you promised us this morning that you'd be here for Christmas dinner. Oh, yeah, yeah, I'll show well. That's nice of you too, 'cause the other two I was thinking on going to didn't work out so good. Oh, it didn't, huh? No. Hey, well, we want you here, Andrew, so you count on it. Yeah, well, that's swell. That's swell. Well, I gotta get going, son. I gotta run 'round. I've been on two, three people. Say hello to 'em. Yeah, well, okay, son, and I'll see you tomorrow. And thanks a lot for the present. Sure wasn't nice of you, Andrew. Oh, nothing's all, nothing's all. And same merry Christmas to Ruby and her mama for me and the kids. Yes, I will, Andrew. I'm going on backward, all but duller now. Yeah, well, so long, Andrew. So long, Andrew. So long. Bring four star royals, I your damn man, crown him, Lord. Well, honey, you was all in bed, ain't you? Daddy, can I turn on the little radio for a minute to go to sleep? Yeah, well, just for a minute or two, I'll snap it on for you. There you are. Now we let it warm up a few seconds. We don't want to wake up, baby. Oh, music never wakes him up, Daddy. Yeah, well, now, let me straighten you covered that little honey. Tell me this, uh, yes, you said, you prayed? Mom, it had my parents before she went out, Daddy. Yeah, well, that's good. Well, Taylor Chorus continues with the large prayer. Well, now, get under the cover. Daddy, could you give some Christmas music on the radio? Why, darling, this is the very best Christmas music you could get. They're going to sing the Lord's Prayer. I just sang the Lord's Prayer with Molly. She's been teaching it to me. Yeah, I know it's here. But does the Lord's Prayer mean, Daddy? Well, it means an awful lot, and with the world like it is today, it seems to have a bigger meaning than ever before. So what does the Lord's Prayer mean, Daddy? The Lord's Prayer? Well, darling, I'll explain it to you. Well, bring it, Daddy. Yeah, now, you lay down there. That's right. And listen. Now, the first line of the Lord's Prayer is this. Our Father, which art in heaven, that means Father of all that is good, where no wrong can ever dwell. Then it says, how will it be our name? That means, darling, that we should love and respect all that is good. And then it says, die kingdom come, and I will be done in earth as it is in heaven. That means, darling, as we clean our hearts of all heat and selfishness, and fill our hearts with love, the good, the true, and the beautiful, then this earth, where we are now, will be just like heaven. That will be wonderful, Daddy. Then it says, after that, give us this day our daily bread. Now, that means, honey, to feed our hearts and minds with kindness, love and courage, which will make us strong for our daily task. And after that, the next line of the Lord's Prayer is this, honey. And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Do you remember the Golden Rule? Yes, sir. Well, that means that we must keep the Golden Rule and do unto others, as we would want others to do unto us. And then it says, after that, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Now, that means, my darling, to ask God to help us do and see and think right, so that we will neither be led or tempted by anything in the world that could be bad. For Zion is the kingdom of power and the glory, forever. Amen. That means, my darling, that all the world and everything is in it. As long as to God's kingdom, everything, your mommy, your daddy, your little brother, your grandma, you and everybody. And as we know that and act as if we do know it, my darling, that is the real spirit of Christmas. That's good, baby. Well, now, I guess we ought to cut off the radio and let you go to sleep. Good night, darling. Good night, sweetheart. Daddy, will you leave the radio on while I go to sleep? All right, I'll leave it on, and you can listen to some Christmas music. All right and now, always come, all is gone, all is gone. All is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone. All is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone. All is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone. All is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone. All is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone. All is gone, all is gone, all is gone. Merry Christmas, my darling. All is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone, all is gone,
