Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Sadly passing in October 2015, this beautiful redhead was cast as Doris and Susan's mother. Who is she?

Answer: Maureen O'Hara

In addition to starring in "Miracle on 34th Street", Maureen also made her mark in such classics as "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", "How Green Was My Valley" and "The Quiet Man". Born Maureen FitzSimons, her co-star in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", Charles Laughton, convinced her to change her name.

As well as an actress, Maureen had a lovely voice and sang together with Andy William on his television show.
2. What happens in the very first scene?

Answer: While passing a shop, Kris Kringle notices a mix up in the reindeer arrangement.

Kris makes it a point to set the shop owner straight about the correct order of "his" reindeer.
3. What seems to be the problem with the Santa hired for the Macy Day parade?

Answer: He has had too much to drink.

"A man's gotta do something to keep warm," proclaims the Macy's Santa and thereafter passes out on the float. Doris makes an on-the-spot decision and hires Edmund Gwenn to replace the one she hired and then fired.
4. When Doris gets home she finds out that Susan is watching the parade next door at whose apartment?

Answer: Mr. Gailey

John Payne plays the lawyer who defends Kris and by doing so has a falling out with love interest Doris.
5. What is Doris's position at Macy's?

Answer: Store Supervisor

As a store supervisor, Doris is responsible for hiring and if necessary firing employees. In the beginning of the movie, she fires the first Santa and hires his replacement. The Catholic Legion of Decency gave the movie a "B" rating due to Ms. O'Hara portraying a divorcee.
6. Who joins Doris and Susan for Thanksgiving Day dinner?

Answer: Mr. Gailey

Susan and Mr. Gailey plotted together so that Doris would ask Mr. Gailey to join them for dinner.
7. In her first role this famous character actress played the thankful mother in the department store scene. Who is she?

Answer: Thelma Ritter

Confused but thankful, she makes it a point to seek out the department manager to thank him for the wonderful job Macy's is doing and vows "to become a regular Macy's customer". Later in her career, she played the nurse in "Rear Window".
8. Macy's Santa starts doing what on the job?

Answer: Directs customers to other stores to find items not carried at Macy's.

Kris suggests that another store carries a brand of ice skates that would provide more support for a child's ankles than the skates at Macy's, which although good are not good enough. Edmund Gwenn won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Accepting his Oscar, he said, "Now I know there is a Santa Claus!"
9. Mr. Schelhammer brings Santa a list of toys not selling well and wants Santa to suggest said items to the boys and girls. Santa does what with the list?

Answer: Tears it up and throws it on the floor

Santa is obviously upset not so much with the actual list but the reason why it was created. He says, "Imagine making a child take something it doesn't want just because he bought too many of the wrong toys!"
10. Who sweeps up Mr. Schelhammer's list of toys?

Answer: Alfred

Alfred gladly sweeps up the list claiming that there are too many "isms" going around and commercialism is one of the worst. Although the part of Alfred is not one of the leading roles, what happens to him in the plot is the catalyst that provokes Santa to confront Macy's store psychologist, Mr. Sawyer.
