A Visit From St. Nicholas (raw silent footage, 1950s)

Silent raw footage for a school-audience adaptation of Clement Clarke Moore's beloved Christmas poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (commonly known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas"), preserved here as . The opening frame is dark, suggesting the film may begin with a nighttime interior scene. Likely produced in the 1950s for holiday classroom screenings, it would animate the poem's familiar narrative — the stockings hung by the chimney, the midnight arrival of St. Nick — through live-action or illustrated imagery.
