ABOUT "IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS"
"IRVING BERLIN'S WHITE CHRISTMAS" concerns soldiers Bob Wallace and Phil Davis who together served under General Henry Waverley in World War Two and, ten years later, they are still working together in a popular song and dance duo, Wallace and Davis.
When they meet the singing sisters, Betty and Judy Haynes, Phil becomes enamored with the beautiful Judy, while Bob is more reserved about his feelings for Betty.
The two men follow the sisters up to their seasonal engagement at The Columbia Inn in Vermont.
They discover the inn is owned by General Waverley but, unbeknownst to him, the inn is struggling to survive.
With the help of Martha, the concierge, and the General’s granddaughter, Susan, Bob, Phil, Betty and Judy decide to put on a big show to draw in business.
Bob arranges for his old friend Ralph Sheldrake to bring the General’s former troops up to Vermont to support the show.
