Romper Room Letter from Miss Marcia, Romper Room, WHTM-TV, Harrisburg, Pa.

Television stations produced their own localized versions of the Romper Room children's TV show beginning in the 1950s. This form letter from "Miss Marcia" probably came from Marcia Kaplan, who was the hostess of the show that aired on WHTM-TV in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

 

See other examples of this form letter signed by Miss Nancy and Miss Sallly. For a photo of an unidentified hostess, see Romper Room, WGAL-TV, Lancaster, Pa., ca. 1950s.

 

Dear Mitchell,

 

Thank you very much for the nice letter you wrote me. I am so glad you are one of my good friends and that you have so much fun with us each day in the Romper Room School. I've seen you in my Magic Mirror and I know you are a good "Do-Bee." I'll see you tomorrow in the Romper Room School.

 

Your friend,

 

Miss Marcia

 

I shall call on you for an interview for Romper Room.
