Thank you. This is lovely. Soaps are often seen in these years as just organ music and staring into the camera, which is certainly true at times, but this show in particular had a number of experimental production choices in the '50s episodes that are available. Hell, the CSO here doesn't look much worse than what you get in big budget films now. The last message from Mary Stuart to fans in a troubled world is genuinely touching, something that reminds of the deep emotional connections soaps had with their viewers for many years. Given that Lynn Loring (who played little Patti) passed away last year around Christmas, it's nice to see a Christmas episode focusing on her. Thank again for sharing these treasures for a new audience.

Women's fashions and makeup were so attractive and feminine back then. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for the Christmas episode of Search For Tomorrow on CBS Television from 1952, one year into its 35-year run. Nice to see Mary Stuart and Larry Haines in this piece. Wonderful. So sad, however, that the heyday of the soap opera has passed with so few of them on TV. Also, I didn't know that the daughter here was played by Lynn Loring. And how refreshing it was to hear Mary Stuart give a timely message for the period at the end.

We have an extensive archive of television on 16mm film which includes many of the early television soap operas. We will continue to upload more as we inspect and catalog them.

This was telecast on Christmas Day {December 25th}- because in those days, soap operas on radio and television would often forego commercials from their sponsors on that day [and sometimes offered a special greeting, as Mary Stewart- "Joanne"- did at the end of the program].

Thanks for clarifying the air date. I thought it could be a delayed telecast but it is now confirmed.

Joanne Barron (later Joanne Tate, etc.) was the proprietor of the Motor Haven, which is where the little girl is driven to receive her Christmas present (note the sign in the film clip at 6:12), so Mary Stuart, the long-time star of "Search for Tomorrow," is the driver of that car...also note that at 6:22, Joanne and the little girl accidentally blend into the filmed backdrop!

This a Christmas episode! 25 December 1952 as Mary Stuart says at the end of the episode!!!! 13 December must be the tape date!

No tape involved. This was originally produced and telecast *live.* Some stations aired "delayed telecast" kiinescopes (up to three weeks, depending on how small the affiliate was, and carried more than one network's programming) because they couldn't schedule the show nationally at 12:30pm(et).

Love this ❤...who is Jimmy? I know Stu and Marge had a son later on.

@kengeorgejones6855 2 ай бұрын

I asked another fan and they said he never appeared very often - in the early '60s later writers had him as Stu and Marge's nephew, not son. He was written out in that period.

@@dawsonballard5396 Apparently the actors told the show about the mistake but it didn't make a difference. Mary Stuart wrote about this in her autobiography.
