In Germany, Christmas cake makers create edible cartoons using sugar and dough. Designs include a Bavarian peasant and a Munich waitress with foam capped steins, while authorities regulate novelty toys and mechanical novelties from Santa Claus images to flying airships.
A staged Christmas fantasy shows Fred Ruth and friends dressing as Mother Goose figures to lure Santa Claus. They misbehave with wax tableau poses and a heavy pail as they await Santa who arrives to surprise the sleeping group.
The piece describes Tony Pastor and family hosting a Christmas festival at Tammany Hall for about 400 children with stage performances by actors, a doll and toy distribution, and a later gift distribution for stage children. It notes this annual event began years earlier and has raised substantial funds for gifts in New York.
