BY LYN CONNELLY

BY LYN CONNELLY
A SONG which made Ito appear.
"A ance In 1912 entitled white
Christmas" Is in its fourth year
and wen on its way to permanent
recognition az a Christmas IA
vorite.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1946-11-28

The amazing popularity Of
white Christmas as q yuletide
song reached its peak last year
when a poll conducted to establish
the favorite carol of servicemen
revealed that q per cent Of the
votes went to this early war song
written especially for the occasion
by Irving Berlin, graduate of Tin
Pan Alley.
The birth of the song was entire
~ by accident despite rumors to
the contrary which attribute its
conception to the war. Actually. 1t
was composed in 1910. A Hollywood
studio had an idea for motion pic
ture to be called Holiday Inn,"
co-starring Fred Astaire and Bing
Crosby The theme Of the picture
was based on the holidays of the
year and song was needed to
represent each holiday Irving Ber-
lin was contracted for the compost
tons. The picture. released in 1912.
was synonymous with our second
wartime Christmas, and in that
year the song sold one million
copies in four months, Although
nothing is done on the part of the
publishers to exploit the song. it
automatically rings the register
each year as the holiday season
approaches. Berlin calls IL his IA
vorite song. with the exception Of
his ''God Bless America" written
during World War /. ''It's difficult
to predict songs future" says
Berlin, but judging from its past.
I would say White Christmas" has
q very good chance Of becoming q
permanent song along with other
Christmas carols"
